✨ The perfect antidote to cold, wet winter days ✨

Roasted Butternut Squash, Red Pepper & Ginger Soup
Comfort in a bowl 🥣 This soup is warming, gently spiced, and beautifully creamy.

Ingredients
🔸1 butternut squash, halved lengthways
🔸1 red pepper, chopped into chunks
🔸2 carrots, roughly chopped
🔸1 onion, chopped into chunks
🔸1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely diced
🔸500ml vegetable stock
🔸1 tin coconut milk
🔸1 tbsp olive oil

Method
1️⃣ Place the butternut squash (cut-side up) in a large roasting tray along with the red pepper, carrots, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and roast at 180°C for 45–50 minutes, until the squash is soft and lightly caramelised.
2️⃣ Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan and gently fry the ginger until fragrant. Scoop the flesh from the roasted squash and add it to the pan along with the roasted vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes.
3️⃣ Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Simmer for 10 minutes, then blend with a hand blender until smooth and creamy (or to your preferred consistency).

✨ To serve: We topped ours with coconut yoghurt, a sprinkle of chilli flakes, and toasted seeds.
For extra heat, swirl in a little harissa 🌶️

Enjoy 🤍

A moment of clarity ✨

This year maybe it’s time to consider what kind of space you want to create in your life. Not the physical kind, but how you want to show up in your life.

At B+G, we believe creating space for your wellbeing matters because modern life is full - it’s full of demands, noise, and expectations. We’ve all felt it.

When there’s no space, it’s harder to hear yourself, to feel grounded or to connect meaningfully with others. We support creating space not to step away from life, but to help you meet it with more clarity, balance, and energy.

Here’s how we can support you:

🌿 Weekly in-person classes
Dedicated time in your week to move, breathe, and reconnect with your body and mind. Join every Thursday for yoga in Cowes .

🌊 Events in nature on the Isle of Wight
Experiences designed to deepen your connection with the natural world and create space for reflection and clarity.

🧘‍♀️ Live & online studio classes
Accessible moments to ground, breathe, and reset — whether you have a little time or a lot. The Online Studio has over 800 classes - plus a FREE 7 day trial membership is available. Link in the bio.

🤍 Wellbeing retreats
Intentional space to reset, recharge, and reconnect with yourself and others. Our next retreat will be in Nov 2026 - we’ve got limited spaces left so DM for details. Bespoke private retreats also available.

However you choose to begin the year, let it support your wellbeing 🤍

✨ Wishing you a joyful and peaceful festive season! ✨

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to send the biggest THANK YOU to everyone who’s been part of this incredible year. From virtual classes to community events, your energy and support have made every moment so special.

A very special highlight: our retreats this year were truly magical. From yoga to pilates to strength-training, we ran, hiked, got hot and cold with , macramé-ed with and rested—creating unforgettable moments together. The Flower Farm Yoga was an absolute highlight, we loved being with you at Bembridge

This festive season, we hope you take time to relax, enjoy the moments that matter, and celebrate all that you’ve achieved this year. May it be filled with warmth, laughter, and a little extra sparkle.

We wanted to share our retreat favourite things from the last two weekends of our nourishing, soul-soothing winter wellbeing retreats.

Mother Root Mocktail Recipe 🥂

When the temperature dropped for our last retreat, we swapped our usual welcome mocktail for something warmer — a soothing spiced infusion (think a delicious, alcohol-free mulled-wine alternative).

Made with — a blend of ginger, apple cider vinegar, honey and a hint of chilli — and paired with a cosy vanilla rooibos, it’s the perfect balance of spice and comfort.

METHOD
1️⃣ Hot-brew your rooibos tea (we love vanilla rooibos — it works beautifully).
2️⃣ Add 1 part Mother Root to 5 parts freshly brewed rooibos.
3️⃣ Stir gently.
4️⃣ Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

The perfect thing to warm up with after a wintery walk ❄️✨ A lovely alternative to mulled wine, and a new retreat favourite🥰.

What an incredible weekend ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — your presence, energy, and openness shaped the heart of this retreat. Your hopes to reset, rejuvenate, and re-energise guided everything we created, and we hope you left feeling nourished in all the ways you wished for (and maybe in a few unexpected ones too).

We loved witnessing the collective energy of the group — from first-time retreat vibes to brave (and very chilly!) lake dips, from exploring new ways of moving to embracing moments of stillness and pause. The weekend was a beautiful blend of challenge, connection, and restoration, and we hope the sense of inspiration, rest, and reset we created together continues to ripple into the weeks ahead.

And of course… this weekend wouldn’t have been possible without our epic team 🩷.

We’ll be sharing more highlights and reflections from both of our amazing retreat weekends over the next few weeks — plus announcing next year’s dates soon 👀✨

Thank you for being part of something so special 🥰.

About us

Yoga Teacher Jenny and Fitness Instructor Evelyn, both relatively new ‘Islanders’, bonded through sharing their seemingly ‘polar’ practices – yoga and strength training (as well as their love of brunch!); early on they realised the benefits that each practice could deliver and how they in fact complemented each other.

Balance + Glo was created as they wanted to ensure a balanced approach to fitness, food and wellbeing plus make the most of what the island has to offer in terms of activities and local produce - all so you can walk away from one of their retreats with that inner and outer glow!

" We wanted to offer a retreat which encompassed all of our passions, with the opportunity to discover the Isle of Wight in a new and exciting way, all whilst staying in luxurious sea view accommodation to really make it an experience to remember. Combining yoga, fitness and delicious food, guests are guaranteed to leave feeling reenergised, motivated and relaxed. It's all about finding your balance and getting your glow.
