Come and reconnect and recharge
Join us at the beautiful Riverside Wellbeing studio for a Sunday Self-Care session like no other! Harnessing the healing energy of the new moon, you will be guided through a variety of practices that have been curated to assist you in releasing to receive. Letting go of that which is no longer serving you through embodied movement with Sally will help you to energetically make space. Then you will be invited to get cosy in your ‘rest nest’ to receive the beautiful healing frequencies of the singing bowls and percussion instruments as Katie guides you on a Reiki infused sound journey. We will end with a herbal tea and some journalling to integrate our experience.
You will leave this session feeling grounded, reconnected and ready for the week ahead.

Shake the Dust & Embodied Yin Full Moon special
Join me for a Shake the Dust and Embodied Yin special to honour the full moon. A time to honour and allow time for our internal landscape through movement and somatics, an opportunity to dive fully into what is arising with time to share and learn about each full moon cycle. Come and rest and release and be in community.
Shake the Dust is a movement practice inspired by somatics and Tantrik philosophy and set to music, which integrates body weight movements, yoga and pilates moves, but without the ‘push’ which you might have felt in traditional fitness classes.
With a focus on activating the nervous system through the physical body, for mental health and well-being, Shake the Dust is a transformative, embodied, workout of the body/heart/mind. Combining high intensity movement, body weight training, yoga, pilates, somatics, dance and intuitive movement into a music driven workout (or rather work-in!) With a theme related to each practice we journey between repetitive movements, rest, strength and free movement.
This class is designed for ANYONE but especially yogis and will at best deliver a cathartic release, a great workout, SWEAT and a strong, resilient body.
Shake the Dust will be followed by a 30 minute Embodied Yin practice:
In Yin Yoga we create gentle (sometimes more dynamic) long held postures and practices with an attitude of Maitri, loving kindness. The poses stimulate energy flow in meridians, energy channels, and restore, rewire and replenish our nervous system. The practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles which believe there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our bodies.
By stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely. An embodied approach to yin yoga invites us to explore our multidimensional capacities for healing by listening and sensing with the whole body-mind. It increases awareness of our mind-body connection in each dimension and through different somatic approaches, intuitive movement, classical nondual Tantra, Chinese medicine and Yin yoga, opens up space by helping to release limitations.
All welcome!

What are others saying?
“I was fortunate to secure a place on Sally’s Spring Equinox Day Retreat in March 2024, and the experience was truly sublime. I’ve done a couple of other retreat events with Sally but you never know what she has in store for you! From the moment of arriving, I instantly felt at peace; the pretty location and light airy space, with gorgeous scents and music filling the room, accompanied by sounds of the river flowing by outside; every detail created a perfect idyll of relaxation and comfort. The day was arranged to include variety, a lot of warmth and joy, at times challenging in an enriching way, like a personal journey of self-rediscovery and release from unwanted strains and negativity. Our break for a delicious wholesome lunch added to the nourishing benefits of the day. The experience is wholly rejuvenating and beautiful in so many ways, a treat for the soul and senses, Sally’s retreat events are by far one of my most favourite days of the year. Thank you so much Sally for making this possible, you are a treasure I am so privileged to know!”
“I really enjoyed Sallys spring reset retreat, the setting ( wellness centre in Whaley Bridge) is perfect, the river runs alongside & the room is bright & warm. Sallys approach to yoga is really refreshing & professional, the day was very well planned & the music was in keeping with the atmosphere. The food was delicious & fresh. The day flew by, I think all of us went alone, such a lovely group of people of different ages & abilities, everyone was catered for and given alternatives. I left the day feeling calm, controlled and very relaxed. Thank you Sally , hopefully see you soon.”
“I’ve never attended a wellness retreat before and Sally made me and everyone else feel really, really at ease the whole day. There was so much variety in the activities throughout the day making it exciting. Leading up to the day I had been feeling really tense physically and mentally, as well as a bit bored with things in everyday life. By the end I felt powerful, calm and ready for the next big changes in my life, with a much less busy mind. Plus the social aspect of meeting other lovely women was really nourishing after all the disconnection during the lockdowns. If you’re interested in any aspect of a retreat with Sally just go along and enjoy it- she makes it so easy!”
““Spending a day with Sally and meeting brilliant new women on the new moon retreat was everything I needed to help banish the stresses of the last year. It was in the most incredible setting and I came away feeling refreshed and renewed and floated in to my week. The day just flew by and had so many treats in store - aside from the delicious food - that made it great value for money””
“I went to this last Sunday and it was amazing. The session was invigorating and relaxing for both body and mind and Sally is just lovely. It really set me up for the week ahead.
I know that it might seem expensive vs a gym class or membership but they’re not comparable. I absolutely can’t wait for the next one.”
“There are so many wonderful things I would love to say about the retreats I have been on with Sally but as this is a review and not a book, I will keep it short!
I have been on 2 retreats now, an all-day one and a 4-hour afternoon one. Going in I felt a little tired and disconnected with myself, the way the retreats are structured ensures you float out feeling completely the opposite, I felt invigorated, sure of myself and knew what I needed to do to regain some of that connection .
I loved the cocoa ceremony at the beginning, and this is something I have brought into my day-to-day life, I loved shake the dust yoga and found allowing myself to move in whatever way I wanted entirely profound! I now have mat sessions in which I just move, however I like, I feel free and at ease with the world again!
The food on both of the retreats was excellent, everything was plant based, I was inspired to bring a little more plant based into my life! The truffles! Oh my gosh the truffles!
The goody bags were an amazing touch, a nice little addition to my home practice, allowing me to bring a little relaxation home with me!
All in all I loved every minute of these retreats, they were what I never knew I needed in my life! Oh and of course there is Sally! A wonderful, serene, judgement free, joyous woman!”
