Wellbeing Day: Move, Breathe & Flow with Emma Garland

Friday 31st July 9:45am-2:00pm Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included. “Time spent outdoors in nature can be a great way to boost the mind and body, as well as the nervous and immune system. Experiencing natural sunlight can also boost your mood and productivity!” - Emma Garland This wellbeing day is designed to give you space to connect back to yourself, to your body and to create a space for your mind to be a little quieter. We all have busy lives with stresses and worries that eat into our lives and increase pressure and stresses that we often hold in the body. This is a relaxed, restorative day for you to take much needed time out for yourself with no expectation or knowledge required. We encourage you to go at your own pace and to join in as much or as little as you like. The day includes a gentle stroll through the gardens of Hawarden Estate, up to the Old Castle for breathwork, followed by a hot drink back at the Conservatory. We’ll roll out our mats, move slowly, mindfully and connect to our body with the breath. We usually finish with a restorative relaxation to rest the body fully. The day finishes with a delicious lunch from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop. All equipment, food and drink throughout the day is provided. You’re welcome to bring your own yoga mat, if you prefer. This session is suitable for all levels and experience!

More about Mancot

Clwyd, Wales

Mancot sits quietly in Clwyd with a charm that grows rather than shouts. There are usually theatre nights on offer and perhaps a community hall hosting something for the whole family. It is a place where you can find a gig or a craft session without needing to drive miles. We keep an eye on what comes through town so you do not waste time hunting for dates. The local scene has a steady rhythm, ensuring there is always a reason to pop out this weekend.
