Women’s Personal Safety Training Day

saturday 1 march 2025

Women’s Personal Safety Training Day (10am – 3pm)

Join us and learn safety strategies and new skills that will help you to feel safer and more able to deal with threatening and intimidating or violent situations.

The course is unique in that it deals with both the psychological and physical elements of personal safety. It was initiated in the late 1970’s by women who questioned that their safety was a priority as many still do today.

This day is part of a 20-hour course, which with enough interest will continue throughout the year.

Just returned from the most amazing retreat in Spain with Hayley and the team. It couldn’t have been more wonderful, yoga practice morning and evening, fantastic food and a fab villa with everything you could wish for including super relaxing treatments. I just wish I was still there soaking up the rays and chillin 😎

Testimonial by A Happy Guest

I have just come away from a weekend retreat and it was absolutely brilliant. Hayley and Tom are fantastic hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. Hayley’s combination of Yin and Yang yoga, Tom’s forest bathing, and nourishing, tasty veggie food, the eco spa and yurt created the perfect blend of relaxation and fun throughout the weekend. The gong bath and massage were also wonderful additions. Thanks so much!

Testimonial by Geoff

I have just come back from a yoga and well-being retreat and it was fantastic. The farm is idyllic, and only about 45 minutes from Bristol on a good run. Hayley is a wonderful yoga teacher, technically skilled but very kind and helpful, while Tom's Forest Bathing sessions are a really enlightening experience. The food is fantastic too, and they are the perfect hosts. The only bad thing about the retreat was having to leave on the Sunday!
