9th May - Finding Balance From Within with Emma Garland & Lucie Platt
9th May - Finding Balance From Within with Emma Garland & Lucie Platt
Friday 9th May
10am-2pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.
Mindfulness, movement, breath and relaxation.
Life can be a challenge and sometimes unexpectedly so. We often find ourselves balancing many things: work and life, happiness and stress, relationships and time.
Finding that balance is a skill in itself and finding that balance in ourselves is key to health, happiness and longevity.
Senior Yoga Teachers, Lucie and Emma, are bringing you this very special Retreat Day Away at the magical Walled Garden School; giving you the space and time to explore and find your balance from within.
Yoga allows us to gain a greater awareness of our bodies and most importantly our needs. At stressful times we can surrender these needs for the sake of time and others' needs and often push down our bodies' signs and symptoms for our own needs.
In this special Retreat Day, we'll explore various postures to listen to our bodies' needs; gaining a greater awareness of finding that balance between effort and peace.
Yoga is a fantastic tool for helping us understand and listen to what we actually need.
Timings
10am: Welcome and workshop begins
1pm: Lunch from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop
2pm: Time to say goodbye
All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.
About Emma’s Session
Emma's session will focus on more challenging postures; not necessarily in terms of advanced postures, but key foundational yoga postures and movements that require a little more focus and technique to exert a little more effort and energy. We'll move slowly and mindfully through these flowing postures and explore how our powerful breath can allow us to explore and find balance between effort and peace. This valuable skill can extend into life, providing an opportunity to tune in and listen to our body's needs, through every day life and for all the challenges life throws at us!
About Lucie’s Session
Join Lucie for an extended slow flow and Yin yoga session, designed to cultivate balance within both body and mind. This deeply nourishing practice invites you to move slowly before settling into longer-held postures, allowing the body to soften, release and find stillness. Through gentle stretches and mindful breathing, you'll create space to ground, restore and reconnect with yourself. This session will leave you feeling balanced, calm, nourished, and deeply connected; a perfect pause for reflection and renewal within your day.

16th May - Sound Bath & Cacao Ceremony with Angela & Wayne Hassall
16th May - Sound Bath & Cacao Ceremony with Angela & Wayne Hassall
Friday 16th May
9:45am-2pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.
Experience the powerful healing energy of sound and resonance in a beautiful location.
Nurture your body in nature and feel the healing benefits of sound at this very special restorative day.
Sound impacts us all and we have a natural vibration that resonates with the earth. This is a great opportunity to seek solace, and allow our bodies to slow down and relax in this fast-paced world.
What to expect:
If you’ve never experienced the healing effects of a Sound Bath before, Angela and Wayne will guide you through each step.
Sound and energy can stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system (the restorative part of your nervous system) and increase your overall wellbeing.
You’ll also have the opportunity to surrender and lie peacefully, relaxed, usually on yoga mats, wrapped in blankets or whatever you need to feel content and still. Here, you’ll be immersed in the soundscape created by an array of sound instruments, gongs and Angela's voice.
At the beginning of the ceremony everyone will be invited to take a cup of cacao, to help us open our hearts, taking ourselves further and deeper into the experience.
This is an incredibly relaxing and restorative day where you can sit, join in or simply enjoy the powerful soundscape of Angela’s powerful breathwork, voice and sounds.
Timings
9:45am: Arrive at The Walled Garden
10am: Introduction/welcome. Short Breathwork session outdoors and/or meditative walk
11am: Cacao ceremony and sound bath
1pm: Lunch from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop
2pm: Time to say goodbye
All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.
Frequencies
We’ll use 432Hz connected to the Fibonacci spiral, the heavens, nature and the vibration within us all. 528Hz is connected to our DNA and to our soul, along with Angela’s master tuning fork, 111hz, which can help to break old habits and addictions.
About Angela Hassell
Angela will use her voice to help us connect to our Kundalini, to find our heart's sound, awakening our Kundalini which has rested at the bottom of our spine since our arrival, since our birth.
The human voice is a very powerful healer (the ancient Persians used singing and tone to resonate with their patients). Indeed, most of the sound instruments you’ll experience are tuned specifically to ancient Solfreggio frequencies, specifically to resonate with the vibrations of the earth which stimulates the vagus nerve; the main cranial nerve connecting all our organs.

6th June - Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland
6th June - Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland
Friday 6th June 2025
9:45am-2:00pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.
This Wellbeing day is focused on improving posture by exploring and understanding our shoulder joints. This can make huge improvements to our overall posture and even in the way we stand, walk, run and work.
Exploring the body to help reset.
As we age, aches and pains can start to creep up on us. Often we’ll put it down to old age and carry on! But most aches and tightness/tension within the body is muscular which means you can do something about it.
As your guide, Emma Garland, puts it:
“This workshop session is suitable for everyone, including beginners; with guided instructions and techniques to help you switch on some of those smaller, underused muscles within the body and start to ease some of the muscular pain you may experience, particularly around the neck and shoulders.
We will work with the breath and provide a deeper feeling of engagement and resistance within your body to build heat and strength in the body without necessarily moving fast.
Time spent outdoors in nature can be a great way to boost the mind and body, as well as the nervous and immune system. Experiencing natural sunlight can also boost your mood and productivity!
Join us for a day away in the magical space that is The Walled Garden School, surrounded by nature in ancient woodland, this space will take you a world away from it all.”
All equipment, food and drink throughout the day is provided.
9:45am: Meet, greet, walk and breathe through The Walled Garden.
In this restorative day for yourself; and maybe friends or loved ones, we’ll start the day with a hot drink before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden. We’ll take this walk up to the Old Castle, where we’ll enjoy some various breathwork techniques, designed to warm us up from the outside in; whilst enjoying the breathtaking rural views from the top of the hill. We’ll talk positively about how nature helps us reconnect.
11am: Move, breathe and flow.
We’ll head back to roll out our yoga mats indoors in the new Conservatory at The Walled Garden School whilst still feeling connected with the natural world. We’ll enjoy flowing movement to expand our bodies and hearts. When we expand and open our chest, understand our shoulders and the impact of tension held around the neck; here we can fully feel our inner power within. Our posture is greatly improved and we can allow ourselves to feel the finer muscles within our bodies that may need to be awakened.
12:15pm: Relaxation
We’ll cosy up under thick wool blankets and hot water bottles and be guided through a deep relaxation for the ultimate experience in self-care. These are the tools you can use to take with you to create new habits and routines to help you find a more balanced nervous system.
1pm: Refuel
Lunch from the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is included. We’ll round up our restorative day with a hearty, warming lunch to fuel our bodies and minds and chat with like-minded new friends.
2pm: Time to say goodbye

What to Expect
Reflect and Review
We’ll start with a guided Life Review exercise, helping you evaluate where you’re at and where you want to go. This reflective process will give you insights into what’s working well, where there may be gaps, and what areas of your life you’d like to focus on.
Set Meaningful Goals/ Intentions
You’ll have the opportunity to identify and set 1–3 impactful goals for 2025 (or more, if you feel inspired!). Whether these are personal, professional, or a mix of both, the focus will be on creating goals that truly resonate with you.
Clarity Techniques
Discover a powerful clarity technique designed to simplify your vision and help you focus on what you truly want in your life.
Practical Tips and Pitfalls
We’ll share tried-and-tested ‘top tips’ for achieving your goals and highlight common slip-ups to avoid, ensuring you’re set up for success right from the start.
Plan for Action
Finally, we’ll work together to create an actionable plan, breaking down at least one of your goals into achievable steps. This will leave you feeling motivated and ready to take your first steps toward success.
Why Attend?
This workshop isn’t just about setting goals for the year ahead - it’s about connecting with others, gaining practical tools, and leaving with a sense of clarity, empowerment, and purpose.
A Supportive Environment
This session is designed for women who want to start the year with intention and focus, regardless of where they’re currently at. You don’t need to have it all figured out - this workshop is a space for discovery, planning, and encouragement.
Take this opportunity to begin 2025 with clarity and confidence.

17th January - Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland
9:45am: Meet, greet, walk and breathe through The Walled Garden.
In this restorative day for yourself; and maybe friends or loved ones, we’ll start the day with a hot drink around the fire pit, before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden of Hawarden Estate. We’ll take this walk up to the Old Castle, where we’ll enjoy some various breath work techniques, designed to warm us up from the outside in; whilst enjoying the breathtaking rural views from the top of the hill. It’s an opportunity to discuss old habits and perhaps plant seeds for new habits to grow.
11am: Move, breathe and flow.
We’ll head back to roll out our yoga mats (indoors) whilst still feeling connected with the natural world. We’ll enjoy flowing movement to expand our bodies and hearts. When we expand and open our chest, we can fully feel our inner power within. Our posture is greatly improved and we can allow ourselves to feel the finer muscles within our bodies that may need to be awakened.
12:15pm: Relaxation
We’ll cosy up under thick wool blankets and hot water bottles and be guided through a deep relaxation for the ultimate experience in self-care. These are the tools you can use to take with you to create new habits and routines to help you find a more balanced nervous system.
1pm: Refuel
Lunch from the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is included. We’ll round up our restorative day with a hearty, warming lunch to fuel our bodies and minds and chat with like-minded new friends.
2pm: Time to say goodbye
All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.
