Health & Wellbeing Day Retreat brought to you by Martha Chapman, martha rose yoga & Kelly McLaughlin, Blackheath Physiotherapy
Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and join Kelly and Martha for a nourishing day retreat in the heart of Blackheath, London. By joining forces you will experience the beauty and benefits of both pilates and yoga
The day
Our home for the day is the Blackheath Complementary Health Centre, set in the heart of Blackheath Royal Standard. It is a warm and welcoming place that promotes a sense of peace as soon as you enter through the doors.
Spaces are limited to 8 people, come alone or bring a friend. Either way you will have a group of likeminded people ready to share the day with.
Our day starts with a morning of pranayama, meditation and intention setting. Bringing us into the space and getting us ready for the day ahead.
This will be followed by a physio led mat-based Pilates session with Kelly, designed to target your whole body from head to toe. Kelly is a Chartered Physiotherapist trained by the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates institute, what does that all mean? You will participate in a safe and effective class designed to prepare and progress you as it flows. It is suitable for beginners, if haven’t exercised for a while, are a seasoned pro or carrying an injury.
Afterwards, you will have time to explore the lovely local area to refuel your body. We have partnered with some of our favourite spots to offer you a little discount – enjoy delicious freshly made food, juices, cake and coffee.
We will reconvene for a myofascial release workshop. In this 45 minute workshop Kelly will take you through a series of self-release techniques, using spiky balls and foam rolling, that you can take away and use in everyday life.
The afternoon will be led by Martha. She will guide you through a gentle flow to rest. Starting with a slow and calm yoga flow that links movement with breath; transitioning to a beautifully calm restorative and yoga nidra (yogic sleep) practice to close our day together.
