Pause and Rest Wellness Experience

With three experts at the helm, this is bound to be a wonderful day. 

First up is Iona Naylor, a seasoned yogi with 30+ years of experience. While living in India for eight years, she had the opportunity to deepen her knowledge through immersive experiences in ashram settings. 

Her practice can be characterised as responsive - keenly aware that our needs are ever fluctuating, she tailors her teaching to your own individual needs, incorporating a mix of movement, chanting, breathwork, meditation, rest and nutrition. 

Additionally, she has a focus on accessibility, offering adjusted pricing for low and no-income students, classes tailored to mobility and age - both young and old. 

On the wellness retreat, you'll be guided through asana, pranayama, dhyana and mantra - aka yoga poses, breathing, meditation and chanting. 

Next up is Bella Kirkus, MD of Stanmer Sauna Garden. As a level 2 qualified sauna master in Lithuanian tradition, Bella will treat you to a bespoke sauna experience, body treatments using seasonal botanicals, followed by a nourishing tea of ingredients foraged from Stanmer Park. 

Last on the roster is Michelin-starr chef and Masterchef quarter finalist, Christian Amys of Urban Forage, who will be serving up a delicious foraged feast for lunch!

What a day!
