Blencowe Hall, 2024

Nourishing New Year Retreat

2nd - 5th January

5th - 8th January

Thank you for looking to book a HIFE Retreat.

Blencowe Hall is one of our most visited venues and there are several reasons we keep going back… it has character and warmth, a light and beautifully designed brand new purpose built studio, and access to great walks right from the door step (just to list a few).

Move “exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude and your mood”

Movement is hugely important, and something we don’t always get enough of. Retreats are the perfect opportunity to dive into more classes, go for a long walk or maybe even lace up your trainers and go for a run. 

Classes over the course of the retreat will be a mix of Yoga and Pilates - I find these two practices together extremely complimentary and beneficial in reducing stress, improving mobility and building strength. You don’t have to be an pro to book a retreat, in fact if you are relatively new to both practices it is a great place to start - the weekend gives you chance to dip your toes in the water, and as we aren’t short for time together I can help you in areas where you are struggling.

We share two classes a day; the morning class is often more energising and uplifting whilst the evening class more gentle and relaxing.

Eat “the food you eat can either be the safest most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison”

I hope that you not only enjoy the food we share over the course of the weekend but that it inspires you to return home to your own kitchen. 

At HIFE we aim to share new foods with you each time you book a retreat; dishes that are hearty and healthy, plant based and flavoursome. Where possibly all of our ingredients will be locally sourced, fresh and organic.

All dietary requirements can be catered for. 

Learn “an investment in knowledge pays the best interest”

With this retreat I have introduced two new workshops;

Posture & Injury Clinic – Here we will earn how to relive common problems (tech neck, tight shoulders, painful lower back) and how to strengthen so that you avoid these injuries in the future. There will also be time for a Q & A so that we can troubleshoot anything you are struggling with.

Practice Breakdown – Yoga and Pilates aren’t easy, we all know that and sometimes when class is flowing / moving I dont have the time to help you refine and adjust your practice. That is where this workshop comes in… together we will look at the most common bad habits, where repetition can cause injury in the practice and how you can build the strength needed for yoga and pilates.

Rest “sleep for health is like changing for a mobile”

This is your retreat, whilst at HIFE we like to provide you with plenty to do if your body simply needs time to rest then please listen to it. 

All of the rooms have beautiful comfy beds, given the time of year and our country side location little light gets anywhere near your bedroom - providing you with a deep and nourishing weekend of sleep. 

Whilst away with us you will have the option of booking a treatment (deep tissue massage, aromatherapy massage, facial etc). These are an additional cost and a brochure shall be provided nearer the time.
