Hi everyone, this Saturday is my autumn retreat morning at Kenfig Nature Reserve. I have a few spaces left and would love to welcome in anyone who's feeling like they need a bit more me time.

🌳 ROOT TO RISE: AUTUMN RETREAT MORNING
Sat 19 Sept 10am - 1pm (arrive from 9.30/9.45am)
Kenfig Nature Reserve
£37

More info https://laura-bradshaw-yoga.mailerpage.io/autumn-retreat-morning-kenfig-2026

A nurturing morning of yoga set against the backdrop of the wild beauty of Kenfig. The morning will blend mindful movement, embodied breathwork, restorative stillness, and a walking meditation. The extraordinary landscape of Kenfig offers the perfect place to pause, reflect, and reconnect — both with yourself and the natural world — as we gently ease into the slower rhythms of autumn. Building that union of mind, body, breath.

Includes:
- Energising vinyasa flow to restore morning practise
- Embodied breathwork session (weather dependent - inside or outside)
- Guided walking meditation for self-connection (weather dependent - otherwise inside)
- Savasana head / shoulder massage (optional)
- All drinks, tea/coffee and snacks included
- All props included (with the exception of yoga mat and any bolster/cushion you want to bring)
- Time to explore the nature reserve, sand dunes, forest and lake (Kenfig Pool)

This retreat is suitable for all levels. Whether you're seeking space to reflect, rest, or simply move and breathe. As ever, I will provide multiple options for you to choose from.

Students from last year's retreat said:
💬 "Lovely well rounded day, did not feel rushed at any point. Enjoyed the theme and felt it was explained well....Please do it again!"
💬 "Good well rounded session. Was explained clearly and liked how there was multiple breath work activities. Did not stay on any too long. Felt my energy changing."
💬 "Thank you for a brilliant day! I felt I got a lot from all the practices that I can take with me off the mat. Was lovely being surrounded by likeminded individuals!"

👊 99% OF MY STUDENTS ALL END UP WITH ONE THING IN COMMON....

I have taught yoga to hundreds of people, all of whom came for different reasons.

But 99% of the time, they all end up with one thing in common.

Some come for flexibility. Some for strength. Some just to switch off.

But somewhere along the way, the reason they started stops being the reason they keep coming.

Slowly, that one hour starts to change the other 23. You're less reactive. More patient. More able to sit with discomfort instead of running from it.

If doctors could prescribe calm and resilience, it'd be snapped up by millions. But you can write that prescription yourself.

It's called yoga. All you need is a mat and to show up.

Want to write yours?

Here’s 3 ways you can be in my world...

1) Start or build upon your practice with regular classes

In person classes every Monday 6pm & 7.15pm
Or, practice online using my video library. 20+ hours of yoga classes (dynamic and restorative practices) and 70+ music playlists. Monthly & annual plans available.

2) Kick start or up level your practice with my yoga events

Fri 4 Sept - End of Summer Unwind: Slow Flow to Yin.

Sat 19 Sept - Root to Rise: Autumn Retreat Morning

3) Want a more personal approach? Work 1:1 with me

Create your bespoke 6-12 week programme tailored to your goals and needs. In person and online options.

FOREVER A STUDENT - KEEP EXPANDING YOUR HORIZONS ✌️

As a yoga teacher it can become quite easy to fall into the trap of teaching teaching teaching and giving to others and forgetting to be a student yourself. I've always been a curious person and probably the first person to admit that I love to learn from others. So this summer I've been putting more focus in learning from others.

It's looked like...
✨ In person classes in my local area on yoga, tai chi, pilates
✨ Yoga festivals and workshops in S Wales + around the UK
✨ Online classes from some of my London favourites
✨ Random little podcasts, books, articles and YouTube videos on yoga + physiology + neuroscience and more
✨ Other wellness practices like contrast therapy, sound healing, reflexology and more...

This is actually one of the most underrated pillars of yoga. Forever being in the mindset of expansion of knowledge of self + the topic of yoga. That's why I always say to my students to go and try lots of different things. Because what works for me may not work for you. But also what works one day may not the next.

Keep building your own personal toolkit of wellness practices and then apply them to the day depending on how you feel.

So I AM here to teach you more about different types of movement, breath, meditation and more.

YOU are here to help apply what works to YOUR life.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT 🌙

A few weeks ago when I saw it would be a partial 90%+ chance of a solar eclipse on the day we usually meet for sunset yoga, I just knew it was going to be SO special.

12 people coming together to practise the magic of yoga on this magical day. Sharing our time, our eclipse glasses and the experience altogether. Thank you all for joining me.

and so many more.... I don't have everyone on insta so feel free to tag yourselves too

Until the next sunset yoga (which will be much sooner than the next eclipse)
