“I’m so excited to pilot this retreat for yogis of all interests and abilities at BH Live Active Corfe Mullen. Yoga is an excellent way to enjoy movement along with some much needed calm and mindfulness for improved wellbeing. Movement is gentle on the joints and if done regularly with guidance and support, can help improve mobility and stamina.”
