We’ve partnered with wellbeing and fitness experts Oyogo to create our first wellness festival, hosted at Bedruthan.
We’ve scheduled three days of wellbeing, creativity and exploration working with the best trainers, coaches, and instructors in the country. Picture playfully choreographed yoga sessions overlooking the Cornish coast, invigorating breath and movement workshops and grounding exploration of the clifftops.
Our trainers include David Jackson, former professional rugby player who turned to breathwork following a sporting brain injury in 2013. David’s breathwork sessions vary from performance breathwork sessions, designed to simulate athletic performance at a low level, learning techniques to improve output to deeply restorative breathwork sessions, allowing participants a chance to enter a deep state of relaxation.
Showcasing local talent, we are delighted to include Issey Knight, who practices Yoga sessions from her beautiful studio ‘The Loft’ in Newquay. Issey’s journey into Yoga originally began in Bali where she trained as an instructor, now you can expect her creativity to shine through her yoga sessions, embrace a little playfulness with plenty of room for trying new poses, and expanding your horizons.
Sophie Hellyer grew up in the oceans of North Devon, where her passion and love of water led her to becoming a surf champion in her late teens. In more recent years, Sophie is now a surf and swim coach as well as a yoga teacher and has spent summers lifeguarding for the RNLI. Sophie’s sessions guide you through a brief breathwork session followed by a cold water dip, feel the benefits of wild swimming and learn the importance of staying safe in cold water.
Founder of ‘Gwithian Beach Yoga’ Alicia Ray combines elements of Psychology, Ayurveda, Yoga and Mindfulness into her Silent Disco themed Yoga sessions. Embrace your emotions in an energising Vinyasa flow, as you build energy through movements.
With just a few of our trainers named, and plenty more to be added, Bedruthan’s Waves of Wellness 2024 festival is the perfect escape for anyone, join us for individual events, the day or the whole experience.
