This retreat is for you if:

• you’ve been meaning to slow down but not quite managing it

• you’re running on empty

• you want to be in nature without having to organise it

• you need rest that goes deeper than a lie-in

• you want to experience movement that feels intelligent and not just intense

• you want space to yourself and space to feel community.

You don’t need to have an existing yoga or Pilates practice to be here. All levels of practice are welcome.

Living and working in London, Mai and Zoë know the pace of the city well — the noise, the busyness, the burnout. Movement and nature have always brought them back to regulation, two things they share a love for. This time, they invite you to The Autumn Peaks retreat to step into ritual over routine — in doing fewer things, more intentionally.

Mai
With seven years of teaching yoga from studios to retreats, international events to intimate workshops, Mai teaches both revitalising and restorative practices that invites all bodies and capabilities.

Mai’s guidance in yoga and sound will drift you into a flow state through the body and breath, leaving you in a state of calm that’s potent enough to linger beyond the weekend.

Zoë

With over eight years of teaching and seventeen years of practice, Zoë brings a combination of precision and ease to every class.

Her background in dance and classical Pilates informs an approach that is both technically grounded and deeply intuitive.

She is interested in how movement carries beyond the studio - helping you feel more connected, more supported, and more at ease in your body day to day.
