RETREATS
WE RETREAT TO COME BACK TO OURSELVES
Fitbirds retreats came to life in 2018 with the intention of creating a safe, calming and nurturing space for women. An offering to reset and rejuvenate. Together we flew to Portugal for our first retreat. As a group of 21 birds, we shared taxis & boarded flights together with a real anticipation of knowing something magical was about to happen. We connected as one flock, supported each other for 5 days, time slowed down. We shed unwanted feathers and grew new ones. To this day, our retreats are our fave dates in the calendar.
As women we have an intrinsic desire to give and to care for everyone in our paths. How often do you really stop to refill your cup though? Not often enough, we know.
A Fitbirds retreat is a place of celebration, a place to laugh and to cry. We are an adventurous flock and our retreat schedules are full of movement, workshops, insanely good food, culture tops up and nature excursions.
Our retreats have two hosts, your founder Shani Yeend and co-owner and co-director Charlie Hayley, providing you with twice the support you deserve. You'll connect inwards, with your natural surroundings and with your birds. We choose venues which are homely and tasteful. We fly to locations which are remote & secluded.
At the foreground of our retreats is deep core and pelvic floor connection and education. We work alongside women daily, most of whom come to us with a complete disconnection to their core and pelvic floor. We take pride in rehabilitating women to give them their strongest and most aligned core and pelvic floor. By understanding the synchronicity of the diaphragm, deep core and pelvic floor we will then seamlessly interweave this work within our meditation, yoga and strength training modalities on retreat. A retreat with us will support you with any pelvic floor or core dysfunctions.
