Recover + Restore Day Retreat

I came to Yoga teaching from a major shift in my life.

I had been working in London since leaving university, and with 3 kids was commuting to the city from our seaside town 4 days a week.

It was really taking its toll.

The house was chaos, my marriage was falling apart, and the kids were shunted from different nannies to grandparents.  And I was a wreck.  Totally stressed out.  Working my arse off but never quite making enough money to cover everything.  I drank too much and craved escapism.

Connecting with the children in a meaningful way was almost impossible as I was so stressed out and irritable.  Life was a blur.

And then I had a health scare.

I had to have a lump checked and then when it didn’t go away, I was referred for a biopsy.  In that moment I was shocked into re-assessing everything.  I was petrified, I didn’t cope with stress well and catastrophised at the best of times.  I got straight onto the phone with my Mum and she said “Frances, whatever it is, you have to change something.  You have been running around like a mad woman for years!”

I was lucky that my results came back and everything was fine.  I’m well aware that many people don’t have it so easy.

Yoga was such a huge support during that time I was drawn to share it with others.

I am fascinated with the power and simplicity that Yoga offers.

Not just the poses, but the practices like meditation, relaxation, intention, gratitude, kindness.  Practices that we now know are scientifically proved to be good for our health and make us feel better.

I create these relaxing retreats to share everything that I have learnt and implemented to live peacefully in my skin.
