Contrast therapy, alternating between the deep, enveloping heat of the sauna and the invigorating shock of a cold plunge, is more than a wellness trend. It’s a powerful, time-tested ritual that awakens your entire system.

In the sauna, heat works its magic. Your muscles soften, tension melts away, and circulation increases as your body opens up. Stress begins to loosen its grip. Then comes the cold: a sharp, energising plunge that floods your body with freshness, reduces inflammation, and leaves you feeling intensely alive. This hot–cold cycle creates a natural rhythm that strengthens resilience, boosts recovery, and sharpens mental clarity.

The result? A body that feels lighter, looser, and more energised and a mind that feels calm, clear, and focused.

My Reset day retreat is designed to guide you through this experience intentionally. No rushing, no distractions, just space to reconnect with yourself. Move between heat and cold, rest deeply, and allow your nervous system to reset in a way that modern life rarely allows.

Saturday 12th July 10am-4pm Max-wellbeing yurt, Durley.

Voice and Yoga Day Retreat
Sunday 24th May 10AM - 4AM
The Gregg School
Southampton

Immerse yourself in a restorative day retreat combining the grounding benefits of yoga with the transformative power of vocal expression.

Carefully designed to support relaxation, confidence, and creative freedom, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to explore the connection between movement, breath, and authentic voice in a nurturing environment. Singing and sounding together can be deeply uplifting, helping to build connection, reduce stress, and create a powerful sense of shared energy and belonging.

Perfect for anyone seeking:
• Stress relief and nervous system reset
• Greater vocal confidence and freedom
• Creative and emotional expression
• A day of meaningful self-care

The retreat will take place at The Gregg School, Townhill Park, set within 23 acres of beautiful parkland, including a peaceful sunken garden for you to explore. The day will be mostly held in the school’s atmospheric wood-panelled music room, creating a calm and inspiring space for practice and connection.

The day includes a freshly prepared, nourishing lunch, along with tea, coffee, and snacks to support your wellbeing throughout the retreat.

The retreat is led by Gemma Witcomb, a yoga teacher of over 17 years, and Alex Diaz, a local singing teacher and yogi. Gemma and Alex share a passion for combining yoga and voice work and love practising and singing together, bringing warmth, experience, and playfulness to their teaching.

Friday Nights just got cosier!💤

Autumn is the perfect time of year to level-up your self care and prioritise rest. Why not join me for my monthly Calm Club evenings AKA the beautiful Yoga Shed. Wickham?
We begin a slow unwind of tension with an hour of somatic yoga - a gentle, embodied floor-based style of yoga to help you feel into your body, slow your breath and connect deeply.

We continue with 75 mins of restorative yoga, getting warm, comfy and calm as I guide you to the ultimate state of relaxation and ease.

Sound blissful? It really is! After these classes, my students just want to stay in their cosy-cocoon and it’s hard to get them to leave! 🤣

Of course you can choose to just come to one class but why not make it a mini retreat and stay for both?!

Limited spaces available. Get in touch or follow the link in my bio to the booking page.

I also have one cheeky space left for my Christmas restorative class in the yurt in Durley….if you’ve made it this far you just might be lucky and snap up the space!
