All weeks run by Hannah & Charlie are in Aid of Charity
This Champneys Spa Henlow Grange retreat would benefit Rise charity, supporting women affected by domestic violence and abuse. The effects of yoga can be transformative, especially for people experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression or illness. Our non-profit model means we run retreats and workshops for paying customers, and then use our profits to fund free of charge yoga for charities and vulnerable groups.
The Yoga
The yoga on this weekend will be suitable for all abilities, from the beginner to the more experienced yogi. We will have time to take our yoga at a steady pace, exploring breathwork, meditation, and a range of yoga styles. These will include gentle Hatha yoga, a more dynamic Vinyasa flow practice, plus some deeply restorative yoga. Our approach is inclusive and encouraging, allowing time for personal adjustments, and opportunities to explore poses, develop your confidence and really deepen your practice
Hannah Lee Weller
Hannah's background is as a dancer and choreographer, and she has studied, taught and produced dance work for over 20 years. She always enjoyed yoga practice alongside this, and the natural progression was to develop her skills and become a qualified teacher, training in Hatha and Vinyasa Flow yoga. She enjoys bringing her influences of dance, anatomy, yoga philosophy and breath work to her yoga classes. She is particularly interested in how we can develop the skills of yoga beyond the mat, and integrate them into our daily lives.
