About
As the days begin to get longer, the weather warmer and you feel like giving your world a good clearing out, what better time to delve into the profound wisdom that links your digestive health to mental clarity, mood, and overall well-being?
​
Join Imogen and Susie on this retreat day to spring clean your gut!
This retreat day aims to help you understand and nurture the connection between your gut and your brain helping you to transform the way you 'digest life'.
The day will start with a dynamic yoga workshop led by Imogen - this practice will be designed specifically to enhance your digestive health.
​
After lunch Susie will guide us through a gut health talk, discussing some of the best ways that we can support our digestion naturally and provide lots of practical and realistic tips on how to optimise our gut health. During this workshop you will receive recommendations of which ingredients to prioritise when putting a meal together as well as a range of lifestyle habits that are practical to incorporate into our daily lives.
Susie will also lead a hands-on practical nutrition workshop where we will be making our own probiotic to take away as well as assembling a delicious gut healthy afternoon snack to provide us with a lovely energy boost before the closing yoga session. All recipes will be provided so you can replicate them at home.
​
The day will close with a restorative yoga practice led by Imogen. This session will focus on how digestive health is key to a peaceful nights sleep.
