The Garden Retreat

02/02/2026

Booked myself a day off today just because being self employed means you can do whatever you want 🥰
Taking a trip over to Nottingham with a client for
a rehab appointment & whilst I’m there they’ve squeezed me in for a much needed sports massage 😖
I thought about sitting in the waiting room but the thought of an idle pair of experienced hands was too much to bare , too be honest I think they maybe taking a shorter dinner break or not even having one , I know the feeling all to well when we get a client in because they so need the treatment 😊
If you have an issue that I cannot solve then I’ll be sure to refer you over to The Body Project

Looking for a yoga class ?

Classes Start again this week! 🙌

Our theme this week is Intention over Resolutions

We arrive not to improve,
but to remember.

After feasts, after pause,
after noise and quiet alike.

Nothing is lost.
The body recalls the way.

Breath meets breath,
Body meets mat,
We begin where we are.

No rush.
No fixing.
Just this moment,
With intention
Slowly back to self
