Yoga & Breathwork with Izzie is back! Bookings are live for the class next Tuesday 4th August at 7pm.

The class will held be in the newly renovated Orchard Lodge space right next to the Sauna - it's such a beautiful space with a cob wall, solid wooden floor, and stained glass windows.

This class is inspired by the dynamic Ashtanga Yoga sequence, following the formula of sun salutations, standing poses, seated poses and finishing poses.

Class will start quietly with some pranayama (breathwork) then we will build our internal fire with yoga asana (poses) and close with a restful finishing sequence and savasana before cleansing with the sauna

Expect to sweat, move, and breathe! You will leave feeling confident and grounded, with more awareness in your body and some pranayama techniques which can be practiced in the sauna, cold plunge and at home

Bookings are now live on the events page of the website. Tickets are £25 for 2 hours of Yoga & Pasture Sauna! Members please message for a discount code.

* Please note - we have reduced the capacity of the session from 9 to 8 to ensure everyone has room to move *

Looking forward to seeing you there!

This month's Sauna Stories explores the theme of grief through heat, folklore and ritual. Gathering on the cusp of Lammas, the first harvest festival, we'll reflect on a season that reminds us every harvest is also an act of letting go. Drawing on South West folklore and ancient seasonal mythology, reimagined through a contemporary q***r lens, we'll journey through stories of longing, transformation, changing landscapes and climates, and our relationship with the more-than-human world.

Together we'll move through a guided meditation, two immersive stories accompanied by scent, herbs and ice, and a collective ritual of release. Through the warmth of the sauna, the awakening of the cold plunges, and the rhythms of storytelling, we'll create space to reflect on what we're carrying, what we're mourning, and what we may be ready to let go of.
Everything is an invitation, you're encouraged to participate only in ways that feel supportive for you.

Joss at work creating the artwork for the event. The artwork was carved on a woodblock and we thought it nice to show off the process!

Starting next Friday afternoon!

We are running Family Sauna sessions! 

These are sessions where under 16s are welcome to join responsible adults for a lovely hour of chilling, heating and relaxing! A perfect afternoon activity for the summer holidays we reckon. We're happy to say that all children go half price as well.

We want the Sauna to be place for every one to come and relax, so we're really pleased that we can host the whole family for these sessions. Of course, we expect all guests to behave respectfully and sensibly :)

If you've got any questions then do DM or email before booking.

Please note - all of our other sessions will be 16+ as normal.
