These special day retreats are just for you - our beloved NHS staff - to come and enjoy a beautiful day in the countryside with lovely people, delicious food, and practical skills for a happier life.
The day will include peaceful heart meditation, gentle flowing yoga practices, delicious catered lunch, deep relaxation and more.
Heart-centred yoga practices offer a very simple and profound way of helping our systems not only recover from stress but to become more able to handle challenging situations in a peaceful way.
Spaces are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment! The event is free. Donations are welcome to support our charity work, but not expected. We want to give back to the NHS which helps us all to be happy and healthy.
To register your place, or if any questions, please email anya@anyaestermann.com

If you have just five minutes sometime, you might like to listen to this little heart meditation with Padma and notice what effect it has on you. If you like it, you can download it here for free or purchase a whole album of heart meditation. All donations support our charity work with some of the poorest families in Sri Lanka, Brasil, India, the UK & USA.
If you like this five minute heart meditation, probably you’ll love the day retreat!
