Barwhillanty Blog… Happy, healthy holidays!

‘Hey everybody, let’s be healthy’ to sing the words of my daughter, Acacia’s nursery song! A message that indeed should be sung, by children and by all as we welcome the summer holidays, tempted by tummy-fulls of treats and coerced by our clever children. Healthy, wholesome, holistic living is the ethos of Barwhillanty, echoed in our Raw and Wild retreats, aiming to educate through our example of sustainable living, incorporating physical and mental wellbeing.

We are excited and energised by our upcoming exclusive offerings of paddleboard yoga on one of our wild swimming ponds and aerial yoga in our ‘currently being created’ yoga studio. Aerial yoga is a wonderful, uplifting form of yoga, adding a level of float and support to your practice that I am super thrilled to be delivering, having recently completed my aerial yoga teacher training. Paddleboard yoga will bring a wobble to your practice, challenging your core a little more! So look forward to enhancing the float to your boat pose on our next Raw and Wild retreats…
