Root To Bloom led by Becca Mclachlan is the signature movement practice within the retreat day. A grounding, strengthening and uplifting session designed to complement your Forest Therapy and Flower arranging workshop.

The practice begins from the ground up with Yin Yoga. We start by nourishing the roots. Close to the earth, we hold poses for longer to hydrate the tissues, gently opening the body. This is steady, foundational work that encourages calm and connection.

From there, we move into Pilates, strengthening the trunk. Through controlled, intentional movements, we build core strength, improve posture and create stability through the centre of the body. Like a strong stem, this phase supports everything above it — balanced, resilient and aligned.

Finally, we rise into Flow — the bloom. Breath-led, fluid sequences integrate strength and mobility, allowing you to move with greater ease and confidence. This is where the foundation underneath translates into lightness, expression and energy.

Forest Therapy is a mindful, sensory immersion that supports relaxation, emotional and physical well-being. Lady Northampton will guide you on a gentle, unhurried walk through the estate’s woodlands and gardens, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the trees, sounds, and scents of the landscape.

In Emma Remington’s flower arranging workshop you will learn how to create a beautiful arrangement to take home using seasonal British blooms and eco-friendly techniques. Guided step by step, we will explore natural textures, colour harmony, and simple design principles while working with locally sourced flowers and foliage. It is the perfect way to unwind, get creative, and enjoy the calming ritual of arranging flowers.
