Held in the lingering light of midsummer, The Afterglow is an immersive three-hour retreat designed to calm the nervous system, soften the body and create space for deep rest.

Set within the peaceful natural surroundings of Reset Wild Spa, this intimate evening experience weaves together somatic movement, auricular acupuncture, immersive sound therapy, ceremonial cacao and restorative spa rituals - guiding guests through a carefully curated journey of release, reconnection and renewal.

Whether you come alone, with a friend, or gather a small group together, The Afterglow offers a shared yet personal space to pause, exhale and reconnect.

As day softens into evening, guests are invited to step away from the pace of everyday life and into a calm, considered space where they can slow down, breathe deeply and simply be.

Guests will be guided through a sensory-led evening including:

  • Somatic movement

  • Auricular acupuncture

  • Immersive sound and vibrational therapy

  • Ceremonial cacao

  • Sauna and cold-water contrast rituals

  • Herbal tea and closing circle

The experience is designed to support nervous-system regulation, deep relaxation and embodied restoration within a safe and nurturing environment.

WAYS TO PRACTICE

SMALL GROUP CLASSES

These small-group classes combine gentle somatic movement, breath-led yoga and mindful strengthening to build awareness, stability and ease from the inside out. Movements are slow and intentional, allowing you to feel how your body organises itself in space while calming the nervous system and releasing accumulated tension.

Suitable for all bodies and experience levels, this is a space to move with intention, build quiet strength and reconnect with yourself.


PRIVATE CLASSES

Private sessions offer a quiet, personalised space to explore movement, breath and wellbeing at your own pace.

Each session is tailored to your body, your needs and your goals — whether you are new to yoga, recovering from injury, managing stress, or simply looking for a more individual approach to practice.

Working one-to-one allows us to move with greater attention and detail.


ALAYA FOUNDATIONS COURSE

A six-week introductory programme designed to help you begin — or rebuild — a yoga practice with confidence and understanding.

Across the six weeks we move slowly and deliberately, learning the fundamental shapes of yoga alongside the principles that support them: breath, posture, balance and awareness.

Classes are small and supportive, with plenty of space for questions, guidance and individual adaptation.


WORKSHOPS & PRIVATE EVENTS

Small-group courses and seasonal workshops designed to deepen knowledge and reinforce foundations.

Ideal for beginners seeking structure, or students wishing to develop their practice with greater intention.
