ONE DAY YOGA, BREATHWORK, MEDITATIVE WRITING AND SOUND RETREAT
Stillness.Renewal.Reflection.
This winter, allow yourself to pause, reconnect, and rekindle your inner light in a small-group retreat designed to nurture, rejuvenate, and inspire.
A Journey to Wholeness - Wintering is a one-day yoga, breathwork, and sound healing retreat in the tranquil Leicestershire countryside, with only 10 spaces to ensure an intimate experience.
Reconnect with Yourself in Nature’s Stillness
Held in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside, nestled within rolling fields and trees, you’ll discover a haven of peace, tranquility and a sense of coming home-ness. This retreat invites you to slow down, set aside life’s demands, and create space for inner reflection.
“The whole day ran perfectly; it was incredibly welcoming, and the activities were professionally run and flowed well into each other.”
NURTURING PRACTICES FOR A FRESH START
WHAT TO EXPECT
With thoughtfully guided sessions of yoga, breathwork, meditative writing, and sound healing, you’ll explore practices that bring calm, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose for the new year.
Yoga to Slow Down
Start the day with a gentle yet energising yoga session that guides you inward, helping you tune into the sensations in your body, noticing what needs attention, and observing what arises without judgement.Breathwork to Restore
Feel the power of group breathwork to free up stagnant energy, welcome new clarity, and recharge.As a previous participant noted, “A really lovely breathwork session which brought me back to my body and left me feeling nourished and empowered.”
Writing to Reconnect
Reconnect with your deepest, most authentic self, with love and without judgement for powerful healing and self-expression. Through this process, you can receive personal wisdom, share it with others, and embody your insights more fully, fostering empowerment and deepening connection with yourself and others.
Yoga Nidra & Sound Healing to Return to Wholeness
We wrap up the day with the powerful, yet gentle healing energy of sound, surrendering to stillness and as you anchor in your insights and new intentions.
“Everything moved at a lovely pace and naturally flowed from one thing to the next. I didn’t know what to expect doing breathwork and journaling as a group but it was a very wholesome experience.”

Claryn Nicholas
Hi I’m Claryn
I am a certified yoga teacher, conscious connected breathwork Practitioner and Coach. I have trained with Gabor Maté in his Compassionate Inquiry psychotherapeutic approach to healing trauma, and I am qualified in delivering sound healing.
All of this to say that I have come to believe and understand that our bodies hold the answer.
I spent a good portion of my life, rushing through it, anxious, drained and running on empty. In 2020, I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid condition and had to learn to slow down and listen to my own needs which allowed me to meet myself again.
After addressing past traumas, releasing emotions through breathwork and committing to my own self care I changed the way I spoke to myself and treated my body. It was only then I got closer to my desire, understood what I really wanted, communicated consciously with my partner, family and friends, and got to do the work I only dreamed of.
It all begins with slowing down, restoring and reconnecting.
And it can start with a Journey to Wholeness.

words but the right ways to market and run their business. Passionate about people raising their unique voices up into the world, Morag believes that words are the bridges that help us cross the unseeable.
She’ll take every opportunity she can to talk about how we can all harness the power of our true and wise inner voice to think better, imagine better and reveal limitless solutions.
When she’s not helping folks discover that their voice is their most powerful tool you’ll find her far away from computer screens, writing in cafés, wandering through woods, shopping in art galleries and most fun of all, riding motorbikes.
Testimonial
It has reminded me that nothing about me is wrong, it has given me a

Information about Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB):
Conscious Connected Breathwork is one of the most profound approaches to releasing emotional, mental and physical tension, regulating and supporting our nervous system, deepening our awareness and connection to ourselves, and expanding our consciousness, and for trauma release
CCB uses a breathing technique that we breathe through the mouth in a continuous circular pattern (there is no pause between the inhale and exhale). The emphasis is on the inhale to create a charge as you fill the body with more oxygen.
Breathing this way takes us to an altered state of consciousness where our analytical brain (the prefrontal cortex) goes offline.
Neurotransmitters, including dopamine and endorphins, are then released.
You will be conscious and always in control of your own breath and journey and I will guide and hold a safe space for you throughout.
