Cosy Winter Retreat Evening

14th November 2025
Wellnest Kirkstall

Join us for a cosy evening of yoga, creativity, and deep rest as we embrace the magic of the season. You’ll be guided through a gentle yoga flow, mindful crafting, nourishing restorative practice, and a soothing sound bath, all by candlelight. Seasonal drinks and warming snacks included. Leave feeling restored, grounded, and ready for winter.

6:30 – 6:45 // Arrival & Warming Welcome
Candlelight, soft lamps, fairy lights.
Hot seasonal drinks (mulled apple juice or spiced chai).
Gentle Opening Circle to Check In

6:45 – 7:30 // Gentle Flow to Unwind
Grounding breathwork to let go of the day.
Slow, warming hatha with longer holds.
Focus on hips, spine, and heart-opening to soften tension.

7:30 – 8:15 // Creative & Mindful Craft
Hands-on seasonal activity (mini winter wreaths, pottery painting, paint and sip orrrr herbal tea blending).
Low lighting, soft music – let’s get cozy in our studio – an atmosphere of creative calm.
Gratitude Journaling: What do I want to release before winter? What do I want to carry into the darker months?

8:15 – 9:15 // Restorative Yoga & Sound
Cosy setup with bolsters, blankets, and eye pillows.
Deeply restful poses (supta baddha konasana, supported forward fold, legs up the wall, reclining twist).
Sound bath and/or nidra for deep rest and transition into night as we float home.

9:15 – 9:45 // Closing Circle & Nourishment
Closing reflections (soft sharing or silent intention-setting).
Light supper: spiced soup in mugs, seeded crackers, or warm apple crumble bites.
Float home with your craft feeling deeply nourished
