MOVE, MEDITATE & EDUCATE

A Fitbirds retreat provides expert movement modalities from both founding directors Shani Yeend and Charlie Hayley. Pelvic floor and deep core conditioning is at our foundation. 

From daily meditation, vinyasa and yin yoga to strength and resistance training.

We welcome and support all women of all fitness levels and ages. 
This retreat we are happy to welcome Rebecca Aldridge from The Happy Hormones Club. Rebecca will be facilitating a 2hr workshop on hormone health and be offering a some 1:1 opportunities.
Shani and Charlie will be available for ongoing support throughout the retreat. 

NOURISH & RESTORE

Get ready for three days of plant based nourishment birds. The idea of not having to cook or clean and to be serve soul food is a dream result.

 

We will nourish our minds with real conversations around the table over long, slow lunches and countryside walks.

We will feed our souls with nature immersion, a playful game of tennis and a dip in a mineral rich chalk stream.
