Matt is coming back! We have limited shiatsu appointments on the 18th July at Myrtle Tree Therapy Room, following the success of his last visit.

With over 20 years of experience, Matthew Ferin Shiatsu Practitioner brings a deeply intuitive, energy-based approach to Shiatsu that supports deep relaxation, healing, and reconnection with self.

Originally trained at the Bristol College and School of Shiatsu, Matthew has studied with some of the leading lights in the field – including Nicola Pooley, Mercedes Nunez, Paul McNicholls, and Keith Phillips – and holds an MRSS diploma following postgraduate training with Mercedes Nunez.

Matthew’s style is gentle, accessible, and especially supportive for anyone who may find more intense forms of bodywork a bit much. His sessions offer a calm, nurturing space to slow down, tune in, and allow the body’s natural healing processes to unfold.

🕊️ Session times available throughout the day: https://www.yogabynature.org/shiatsu-massage-weston-super-mare

This is a beautiful opportunity to experience the subtle power of Shiatsu in a safe and supportive space. I'd love to see some of you there!

Do you claim to cater for every dietary requirement on your retreats and day retreats? 🥓🍟

Our recent YTT graduate Emma has severe bowel disease and is unable to eat most fruit and veg, and a wide range of foods that most of us would consider healthy 😇

The food served at 99.9% of yoga gatherings would hospitalise or even kill Emma, which means she has been excluded from going on a yoga retreat or holiday until recently at our YTT graduation weekend. On retreat with us, she was able to enjoy her healthy diet of bacon, rice krispy cakes and McCoys crisps.

Emma looks fantastic by the way 😎 - see the last slide. She has a top exec job as a CEO and is also now a yoga teacher. Missing most of a colon, she has to plan her day and her meals carefully.

I know we all try really hard to be inclusive as yoga teachers and retreat providers, so let’s do even better and provide safe food for everyone 🧡🧡🧡

If you are wondering whether you can fit yoga training into your busy life, Ciara is living proof that, where there’s a will there’s a way. 💪

Ciara practiced with online teachers before coming to our 200 hour course with a passion for yoga and a determination to create a yoga community in her local area in Wiltshire.

She not only got through the course, she aced it and loved every second - “even the assignments were enjoyable”! ✨and her community classes are now thriving ❤️

Find Ciara teaching her Hatha flow classes in South Wraxall and teaching her seasonal Yin workshops. Next one is 31st August 🧘‍♀️

We have open doors at The Phoenix Tree on Saturday 12th July 11.30am - 1pm.

Your body is your portal of consciousness. Let's do more yoga and combat the commodification of our person

“One very important domain of our lives and experience that we tend to miss, ignore, abuse, or lose control of as a result of being in the automatic pilot mode is our own body.”

A little treat for our graduating teachers this weekend! Wim Hof workshop with the incredible Joe at

Transformative breath work followed by ice - I never imagined I would like it! But I did and so did our new teachers. It was clearing, cathartic and rewarding. Exactly how you want to feel when you graduate from your 200 hour yoga training.

Highlights of the whole weekend and our wonderful new bunch of teachers coming very soon 👏🏻👏🏻
