Yoga + Art Therapy Immersion
For Girls (8–13 yrs)
A soulful mini-retreat this winter — nurture the body, mind, and heart
Step into a magical 2.5-hour journey designed especially for girls aged 8–13. This immersive experience blends mindful movement, creative expression, and heartfelt connection — part retreat, part adventure, and 100% joyful, nurturing, and empowering.
🌿 What to expect:
Guided by the experienced and compassionate yoga teacher Simone Grant, alongside the gifted artist and eco-conscious creative Iva Leonard, this special session creates a warm, welcoming space where girls can thrive and shine.
Your young lady will:
✨ Cultivate calm, confidence, and resilience through gentle yoga flows, breathwork, and mindfulness practices designed to nurture inner peace and self-acceptance.
✨ Delight in playful movement, imaginative games, dance, and restorative relaxation to energise the body and soothe the spirit.
✨ Be guided through creative art therapy activities, including making affirmation art cards using a range of inspiring materials—empowering, colourful reminders of inner strength, wisdom, and beauty to keep or share.
✨ Enjoy nourishing, organic plant-based tea or chai – and wholesome bliss balls to nurture her from the inside out.
🎨 More about the art craft session:
Under Iva Leonard’s guidance, this is more than craft-making—it’s a mindful, expressive journey that supports emotional wellbeing and self-discovery. No artistic experience required, just openness and imagination.
🧘‍♀️ Why this matters:
Yoga, mindfulness, and creative expression are powerful tools that nurture emotional balance, inspire self-confidence, and build meaningful connections. Girls will leave this experience feeling grounded, joyful, and deeply connected—to themselves, each other, and the values that shape a kind, resilient heart.
Benefits include:
✔ Greater emotional regulation and inner resilience
✔ Reduced stress and anxiety, promoting calm and clarity
✔ Enhanced creativity, focus, and learning capacity
✔ Increased body confidence and self-awareness
✔ Encouragement of healthy friendships and authentic self-expression
