Exceeding Expectations

It makes us soooo happy when someone joins us for the first time and we exceed their expectations 🥰 when they are someone who like Emily who herself has spent decades learning, practicing as well as retreating at various other retreats it’s maybe even more satisfying.

We pride ourselves on running down to earth health retreats that support women to reclaim the body, health and wellness they deserve.

All our retreat programmes are firmly based on the appliance of science of women’s health but more importantly they are about what to do day to day with that knowledge.

From shopping, eating, sleeping, training, managing your stress … we focus on all aspects of Women’s Health.

Meet Our Team

As the only health retreat company that is founded, designed and delivered By Women For Women Only we are so proud of our amazing team of teachers, therapists, trainers and professionals who make each week at The Body Retreat so special.

Today meet Nadiya

With 14 years of yoga teaching experience, Nadiya guides you to reconnect with your body, release tension, and reclaim your capacity for rest. Her classes encourage curiosity, compassion, and slowing down. Blending therapeutic yoga, somatic movement, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices, she meets participants where they are, offering an accessible, nourishing practice.

Since joining the Body Retreat in 2021, Nadiya has enjoyed sharing yoga and mindfulness with new and returning retreat participants and continues to be passionate about supporting women in discovering a more embodied way of living through gentle movement and restorative rest.

When she’s not teaching, Nadiya is making the most of the beautiful surrounding Dorset countryside with her dog!

Habits

Here’s the truth … you don’t need another diet, a new programme, the latest protocol

What you need is to connect to the small healthy habits that soon add up to a sustainable healthy lifestyle

Let me explain ….

Why do women choose to keep coming back to The Body Retreat?

Founded in 2010 by us Julie & Juls as the kind of women only retreat space that we would want to go.

We have kept true to what was important to us then and luckily for us it’s proved to be important to thousands of women from all around world.

We aren’t just a business, when you join us at The Body Retreat you become part of our Retreat family and family is always personal 💜💜💜

Another Book Review …

This time is two for the price of one 🥰

As a meat eater who is also Plant Protein obsessed and loves to cook and eat well … these are two books I have on my home kitchen counter.

Have you tried any of @thehappypear recipes … honestly you won’t be disappointed.

Avocados: superfood or complicated fave?

We all love them, avocados are packed with healthy fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins that support heart health, glowing skin, and sustained energy. Whether smashed on toast or blended into smoothies, they’re a nutritional powerhouse that fits into so many lifestyles.

But there’s another side to the story 🌍

The growing demand for avocados has raised concerns about water usage, deforestation, and farming practices in some regions. It takes a surprising amount of water to grow just one avocado, and in certain areas, production has contributed to environmental strain.

So what’s the balance?

💚 Enjoy them mindfully
💧 Be aware of where they’re sourced
🌱 Support sustainable and ethical farming when possible
👩‍🍳 Change up your recipe

You don’t have to give up your avocado toast — just stay informed and make choices that are better for both your body and the planet.

This is how we like to serve up our Avo on Toast these days.
