& OPTIMISING GUT HEALTH

​

11 - 13 OCTOBER 2024 

Tofte Manor, Souldrop Rd, Sharnbrook, Bedford, MK44 1HH

​

It feels as if it has been far too long since I have offered a UK-based yoga retreat, so I am absolutely thrilled to announce a unique three-day immersion filled with yoga, pranayama, meditation, nutrition therapy, and massage, all in the surrounds of beautiful Tofte Manor in Bedfordshire. 

The retreat will offer a full and truly holistic programme with four alignment-based yoga classes & three meditation sessions to bring you back to balance and, in partnership with nutrition therapist Katia Frank, the opportunity for each of you to create a customised nutrition plan to bring your gut and overall health back into balance too.

Katia’s proven evidence-based approach incorporates the latest research in nutrition and lifestyle and does not focus on a particular diet, advocate calorie restriction, or exclusion of entire food groups where possible. By focusing on her clients’ specific needs she empowers you to make critical diet and lifestyle changes that can resolve all manner of issues such as IBS, gut disorders, weight management, hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities and intolerances, skin conditions, and reduced energy and vitality.

In addition to our Yoga practices and individual nutrition sessions, the retreat will also have a traditional massage therapist and a Thai Yoga Massage therapist  available on site.

In keeping with the focus on balance and nutrition, meals will be carefully planned to be super-nourishing and a great way to support existing good eating habits or be a perfect way to start eating more healthily.

Everything about this weekend has been planned to help you recharge physically, mentally, and emotionally, and the gorgeous surroundings have been chosen with exactly that in mind too. The exquisite 17th century manor house will be our home over the three days while Yoga classes will be held in a light-filled Yurt set in a tranquil spot within the grounds. The rest of the estate will be yours to discover between classes, consultations, massages, and meals. That includes access to two beautiful and unique labyrinths, Star & Earth, ideal for exploring your own inner journey as research has shown that walking a labyrinth creates balance in the body and the mind by balancing the two hemispheres of the brain.

It promises to be a truly special retreat in a truly special setting. I hope to see you there.
