Live Online Yoga Retreat with MFML

We are excited to be hosting our first live online yoga retreat focusing on harnessing strength and resilience for winter

Why take a live online yoga retreat with MFML?

This year has been tumultuous for most of us as we have changed and shifted the way in which we work, care for our families, travel and socialise. An online yoga retreat with MFML offers a way to re-group and to digest the lessons of lockdown. It is a chance to gather and feel the warmth and power of community. Together, we can find ways to move forward this winter with strength and grace.

What to expect

• A weekend of live world-class yoga, meditation and breath work classes from Lucy McCarthy and Vidya Heisel
• Interactive discussions with Vidya, Lucy and MFML founder, Kat Farrants. Join in with our ‘fireside chats’ as we talk about building resilience, strength and adaptability
• Access to our closed community group with all our teachers and fellow Movers to offer you guidance and support
• Custom-made journal with inspiration, tips and advice and space for you to journal, also with recipes from Vidya
• A warm, human experience to counteract the restrictions of recent months, with time for you to connect with yourself
• A weekend of learning and support to equip you with the tools to move forward with resilience and strength
