Your Hosts
Lisa
I have worked in the fitness industry for over 25 years and, over that time, I have continued to learn, grow and find the best ways to support my clients. I am now a Level 5 MELT Method® Instructor based in Wokingham and I am passionate about helping people move more freely, feel more comfortable in their bodies and live with less pain
I have experience working with older adults, ante and postnatal clients and women going through menopause. This has given me a real understanding of how different bodies need different kinds of support and how important it is to meet each person where they are
My sessions offer a welcoming and supportive space where you can slow down, reconnect with your body and discover how gentle movement can make a real difference to everyday life. Whether you are completely new to MELT or already have some experience, I love helping people build confidence, improve mobility and feel better in their body

Jill
My journey into yoga began over twenty years ago and since then I’ve continuously expanded my knowledge and expertise. I’m a seasoned yoga instructor with extensive training and certifications in various yoga and movement disciplines: Hatha Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, Postnatal Yoga and Restorative Yoga, and I’ve worked extensively with Clinical Somatics. My comprehensive background ensures that each of my Yoga Retreats is rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy, movement and mindfulness
My retreats are a sanctuary where you can explore your yoga practice in a supportive and nurturing environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, my holistic approach will guide you towards greater health, harmony, and inner peace
See you on the mat,
