Beyond You

This is the only applied mindfulness retreat in the world. The content has been adapted from the hugely successful online course by TeamUp that over 1500 people have taken in over 50 countries.

Now you can experience this unique content in a 7 day personalised retreat experience in a small group of 12 people. Alongside daily yoga and meditation classes, you will learn how to apply mindfulness wisdom to your own life, in order to change or improve the areas that are important to you.

You’ll be learning the tools to use in your life to reduce stress and anxiety, increase your natural resilience, nurture your inner calm, connect on a deeper level to your loved ones and inspire you to create your ideal life. Breaking free of old behaviour habits and creating new ones.

This is brought to you by mindfulness facilitators and coaches Aaron Quinn and Kate Greenslade, with the wonderful guest yoga teacher Natalie Smit-Ash (of Chillout Retreats).

You will have a 1-1 coaching call with one of the facilitators before you arrive at the retreat to help you identify what you’d like to change or explore. After the retreat you will also receive 3 monthly 1-1 calls to support you on your ongoing journey of change. To really help you ingrain your new habits and behaviours for a better version of you!

Kate has helped me so much. She has guided me to overcome my worries by seeing life differently and to appreciate each and every moment by living in the now rather than focusing on the past. She never judges and has helped me to find the freedom to brave new things, to live my life being true to myself. I love our sessions and enjoy request awakening moments with Kate’s help. Thank you!

Natalie is such an open, welcoming, positive, warm and inspiring person. She carefully builds each yoga session offering a variety of alternatives to suit all levels. I have also enjoyed 3 oversees yoga retreats with her which were amazing for my body and soul. She has the ability to share her love of life and yoga. Most of all she has helped me to be a better version of myself.
