Other activities

As part of our activity programme, there are a range of classes and workshops that you can come along to, in addition to yoga, workshops, rebounding, walks and creativity.

Each activity fits into our holistic programme for health and wellbeing. To attend an activity, you simply turn up. They are all there for you to participate in if you want, but you are free to rest and relax. Some are great for burning calories, or toning your body. Others, like the cooking demo and juice demo, are more educationally focused and our aim is that you feel confident when you leave the retreat to incorporate more healthy eating and juicing into your lifestyle.

Exercise and other classes

To bring movement to the body we have a range of exercise classes available including:

Pilates – a low impact type of exercise which aims to strengthen muscles whilst improving flexibility and postural alignment

Core works and legs, bums and tums classes – both provide an energetic workout to tone your muscles and give strength to your body. Yoga-lates is an exercise class designed to work core, abdomen, pelvic floor and glutes, to a fun and motivating soundtrack.

Dance Fun – dance is a great way to move your body, toning and strengthening muscles and in this informal dance class you do have fun!

Tai Chi – bringing a connection between the breath, movement and energy flow, this is a gentle style of class which helps with balance and helps you to become present, re-connect and focus on your breath.

Classes vary week to week, depending upon the availability of the trained instructors.

Juicing Demo

Juicing has many health benefits and during this interactive juicing demo, one of our programme mentors will demonatrate what to do.

You’ll leave the session knowing how to pick a suitable juicer for you and how to get the most out of juicing as part of your detox. You’ll also have a greater understanding of the different benefits many fruits and vegetables bring to each juice – what items can be juiced and what can not!

You have the opportunity to design your own juice, with our guidance, and try it, so that when you go home, you feel confident to juice.

You can read more about juicing at La Crisalida UK on our page here: UK juice retreat. There is also lots more useful information about juicing on our main website here: juicing at La Crisalida Retreats.

Cooking Demo

If you have enjoyed eating the plant-based food and feel inspired to try it at home, then come along to the weekly cooking demo. This is an interactive session, where we share some of our favourite plant-based recipes with you. We go through making the dishes, step by step, so you can see and experience how to make the recipes. We also share some practical tips and advice about plant-based cooking, so it’s an ideal opportunity to ask us questions.

The added bonus? You get to try the dishes made during the class!

We change the recipes regularly, so it’s well worth coming to each week and each time you visit.
