What Women Said After Our Last Retreat
What part of today felt most valuable or impactful?
"The importance of not sitting down so much"
"The wall exercises sets us up for the future"
"The overhead squat assessment and realising how a dominant side can alter a posture and an exercise position"
"That it is never too late for your body to adapt and improve"
"Everything."
"The biggest impact came from the explanations and hands‑on learning. Seeing how posture, alignment and breathing affect everything made the whole day feel genuinely useful."
"I think the difference between how straight my back felt in the wall assessment at the end of the day compared with when we first arrived. This really brought home to me the benefit of practising daily stretches and inspired me to feel confident that I can improve my posture / help my achey back with some regular exercises."
What did you enjoy most?
"Learning"
"Lunch, and a chance to focus on me"
"The reconnection with how to stand correctly"
"The balance of the day worked perfectly"
"The whole day was informative, thought provoking and fun. And lunch was superb 😊"
"Learning about posture and allignment."
"I genuinely enjoyed the whole day, but the parts that stood out most were the movement sessions and the learning. The assessments were so eye‑opening, the atmosphere was warm and supportive, and the walk and lunch added such a lovely, relaxed feel to the day."
"I thought everything was spot on."
