Manifestation with Roxie Nafousi
Our guests enjoyed an additional wellness workshop hosted by the highly esteemed, self-development coach Roxie Nafousi. Focusing on the mind, she guided our members on the power of manifestation, and provided tools on how to live a more content and motivated life.
Breathwork with Michael James Wong
The founder of Just Breath created a calm space, where members were led through the ancient practice of meditation. Wong taught the basics of breathwork and deep rest throughout two sessions, leaving everyone feeling more zen than ever.
Yoga with Shona Vertue
Guests enjoyed a tranquil yoga session for all levels by the creator of The Vertue Method. A holistic experience, Vertue focused on the roots of yoga and, of course, some much-needed stretching – all in the ideal setting of Babington’s 18 acres of countryside.
