October 2025 - Yoga & The Chakras
"My personal well-being journey over the last couple of years led me to meditation, where I was also introduced to the Chakras. I booked onto the October Chakra Retreat to discover more.
Each session of the workshop was thoughtfully structured, allowing me to understand how Chakra imbalances can affect both physical and emotional well-being.
Kate offered a wonderful blend of exercises to balance the Chakras and the location in North Wales was stunning and tranquil.
I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness, boost their well-being, and discover practical tools for inner balance." Joanna Woolfenden
