11:45-12:45 Boost Your Mood: Winter Wellness Recipes with Rhaya Jordan

Learn what vegetables are in season this Winter and how we can use simple ingredients to create inspiring yet comforting recipes with Our resident nutritionist, Rhaya Jordan. You will learn which foods are best to avoid and what to replace them with in order to keep energy levels high and in turn fuelling productivity. Rhaya will also advise and educate you on which supplement type is right for you this winter. You will learn how certain supplements can potentially improve your skin, ease digestive function, and also help to prevent viral infections.

Our body is designed to move and exercise is vital to stimulate the body to produce endorphins and enkephalins – the body’s natural feel-good hormones, which can help us maintain a positive outlook on life. This energising session will guide you through a holistic understanding of ‘fitness’ and how you can exercise at home to encourage joyful emotion in daily life, plus some tips for overcoming the barriers of time restriction.

13:45-14:30 Pockets of Peace: How to Keep the Mind Clear of Fog this Winter with Akshai

Anxiety levels have risen this year and this can take a toll on our health. When we're stressed, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections. Our resident yogi, Akshai, will teach you how to find pockets of peace in your day. You can practice these 5 min exercises every day to bring peace and clarity back to the present moment.

15 MIN BREAK

14:45-15:30 Yoga Nidra Session with Cristina

The easiest way to keep your mindset positive and your days productive, is to ensure you are getting enough sleep in order to keep brain function high. Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage, typically induced by a guided meditation. There is evidence that yoga Nidra helps relieve stress and calm the mind. Our Cotswolds yogi; Cristina, will lead you through this guided meditation, leaving you feeling refreshed and recharged.

15:30-16:00 Q&A / Break down session with Akshai
