✨️🌳Sharing on behalf of my friend Beth. Over the years Beth created a beautiful community in the woods, a place where so many people felt a deep connection — with themselves, with each other, and with nature.
It’s sad to think we won’t be walking down the fairy-lit path in the same way again, and many hearts will feel that loss. But every path leads us somewhere new, and this one is now taking a different journey.
As this chapter gently comes to a close, the memories, friendships, and moments of connection that were created there will continue to live on in all of us.
Places may change, but the spirit of what Beth built — the warmth, the community, and the sense of belonging — doesn’t disappear. It travels with every person who shared in it.
Thank you, Beth, for opening the woods and your heart to so many. Whatever the next path looks like, the seeds you planted there will keep growing in ways we may not even see yet. 🌿✨
✨Closure of Cockley Woodland Wellness✨
I would like the thank everyone of you for being a part of this beautiful community but unfortunately we will not be opening again this summer.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this.. I am so immensely proud of the community that has been created here at Cockley Wood. I look forward to seeing your faces and hearing your stories each time I see you, but the reality behind running a business as I’m sure many of you know is much deeper than the wonderful face to face classes I get to teach.
I have been reflecting a lot over the winter period, and although I adore Cockley Wellness, I fear it has become too much for me personally. Due to the nature of the space, I have to be available throughout any class or event that we run. This aspect has begun to significantly affect my family life and our ability to do other things as a family. I have also come to term with the fact that I have been trying to spin a few too many plates, and although our wonderful instructors have helped me in every way they possibly can, there is only so much I am able to delegate.
Due to this constant pace of my life I have noticed an impact on my own personal yoga practice. When I reflected deeper I have realised I wasn’t just allowing burnout to get in the way of my practice, I was also actively avoiding it at times, as I didn’t want to allow myself the space and face what came up. Our yoga practice is for ourselves, and is often a privilege, but can sometimes be that mirror to ourselves that we avoid looking into. I believe in everything I have ever taught, and now I must make changes to my own life to ensure I’m living authentically and in line with my values and beliefs.
I would like to say a huge thank you to our wonderful teachers, who will still be around and about offering their wonderful classes and events, but for now I am putting any teaching on hold.
I'm so proud of what we have build together, and although I feel some relief with this decision, I also feel a horrible pit in my stomach that this journey is over.
Sending all my love
Beth x
