A unique concept for a wellbeing day, quite different to anything you might have been to before. 
You will learn to bake real bread with the multi award winning Room Forty bakers. Then do a little gentle yoga with Jane from @formbyyoga, try a little meditation, eat lunch togther and finally enjoy a little pamper too so you go home nourished from the inside out, and back again!


It is everything I would want from a day to myself and it is all in the one venue, so no rushing around. 


The day begins with friendly introductions, a cuppa and a sweet treat before we get started on some bread baking with Jen from Room Forty. While our loaf is proving we will enjoy a mindful meditation before more bread making activity. Each session has a different bread, so you can come more than once!

Bake and Balance is back and there's more included!

As usual the class will run from 9.30am -3.30 pm and the programme looks a bit like this but may vary a little. 


All activities will be inclusive and suitable for beginners to yoga, and to baking!

Will the yoga be hard?

Jane is an experienced yoga teacher, and will teach the class according to the level of  the participants.  Our retreats are aimed at being relaxing and restorative, so there won't be anything difficult, and if you just wish to relax on your mat, or in a chair, we're completely fine with your choice.

Often Jane includes yoga nidra, particularly in the winter months. Here's a bit more information on yoga nidra.  


Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep, is a deep relaxation technique that takes the practitioner into a state of conscious sleep where the body is completely relaxed, yet the mind remains awake and alert. The practitioner is led through a sequence of verbal instructions incorporating a series of breath, body, and awareness techniques. Unlike meditation, which requires focusing on a single point, yoga nidra facilitates deep relaxation by withdrawing the senses internally.

A yoga nidra session can range from 15 minutes to over an hour in duration. The practice guides individuals between wakefulness and dreaming, a threshold where the subconscious mind is most receptive.

​This makes deep-seated transformative work possible at mental, emotional, and even physical levels.

What is Forest Bathing?

Forest bathing or ‘shinrin-yoku’ was first developed in Japan in the 1980s, following scientific studies conducted by the government. The results showed that two hours of mindful exploration in a forest or similar, could reduce blood pressure, lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and improve concentration and memory.

They also found that trees release chemicals called phytoncides, which have a protective antimicrobial effect on human bodies and thereby boost the immune system. As a result of this research, the Japanese government introduced ‘shinrin-yoku’ as a national health programme.
