Meditation Facilitator

Caroline - move with ease

Caroline from ‘move with ease’ specialises in chronic pain management using clinical and myofascial massage therapy, functional
breath retraining, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and meditation, yoga and
fascia training. All these modalities soothe the nervous system, reduce pain, and quite often eliminate it!

Guided Meditation

You will be guided in Metta Bhavana – loving kindness meditation. This is an
affirmation-based practice and so we will also explore the benefits of
using affirmations that align with your authentic self, rather than using
broad sweeping statements that you simply don’t believe!

Read our feedback from a recent retreat: 

​

"Thank you all for a wonderful day yesterday, it’s given me such a boost and I’m going to work out a way of fitting live classes back into my routine once the summer holidays are over." (Emily)

 

"What an absolutely awesome day.

Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful experience of calm and relaxation. 

Thank you for organising such fabulous food, the salads were so lovely, very pleased I brought my box to take some home with me. It was a lovely spread and clearly catered for both my vegan and gluten free requirements. It was labelled very clearly and even the smallest details of appropriate sauces had been thought about too. Such lovely food that topped off such an amazing day. Xx" (Libby)

 

"Thank you for a wonderful day.

It was so lovely to meet some of the faces you get to see in your classes. 
Such a pleasure to me you Leanne and Kerry after all the support you give during classes,

such lovely ladies." (Sam)

 

"Put your hand up if you went to bed when you got home and only woke up for dinner over an hour later.... 
Just me? 😅
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came today.  I was so anxious this morning about spending any length of time in one room with so many people I'd never met in person (I mean, the full sweating/heart pounding type of anxiety!)
I told myself that I only had to stay for an hour... then until lunchtime... then until we left the hall... Then suddenly I was in a wonderful garden eating gorgeous cake!
I can't remember the last time I was ever that chilled out about being around so many new people and I'm still processing all of it tbh.
I hope all of you had a lovely day as well, and that you managed to get to your next destinations safely. And I'll share a saying that came back to me for the first time in years and has really struck a chord with me today:
"I'd rather regret the things I've done than the things I haven't" 😉" (Sharon
)

 

"It was such a lovely day sharing our love of Pilates with people we’d only seen online before.

A wonderful day with wonderful people. Here’s to the next ‘event’ and a chance to meet you all again x" (Sue)

​

"A nurturing and fun day 💜💜💜" (Sophie)
