Hunker down with us this winter at West Lexham in Norfolk. This retreat is an invitation to tend to your wellbeing & reconnect with yourself through positive movement languages, food, people & nature. As retreat leaders we create an experience where you will feel held. Our location for practice & rest will be in The Barn. Offering each guest a single, double or triple occupancy room. Each with its own en suite bathroom. Private courtyard, dining area, living space and larger practice space. Lean into softness, stillness, breath and recharging dynamic movement with us once more.

Your Hosts:

Alex Tinney,

I’m Alex & I am a Body Control Pilates teacher based in South East London. I was first introduced to Pilates over ten years ago whilst training as a professional dancer & continued Pilates throughout my training and dance career. I trained at the prestigious Body Control Pilates where I received an in-depth and thorough training, enabling me to teach group classes, privates and corporates in South East & Central London, as well as online. My classes are for anyone, whether it is your first Pilates class ever or if it is your 500th. I aim to help people feel good and feel confident as well as gaining body awareness and better alignment and to feel happy at the end of each class.

My movement background has a huge influence in my teaching, classes are precise, flowing and progressive with alignment always the main focus.

Lydia Buckler,

I began my training with Yoga Professionals in 2016 where I gained my initial qualification, a diploma in teaching Yoga. As a professional dancer, I was curious to learn people’s yogic journeys from all different walks of life, ages, physicality’s & capabilities, consequently learning what it really means to teach yoga, share and encourage experiences. I furthered my studies with the dynamic practices of The Rocket (50hrs) and Mandala Vinyasa & Shamanism (55hrs) with The Yoga People in 2017. I am also qualified as a Pregnancy Yoga teacher through Yoga London (85hrs).

I teach a vitalising & powerful practice that is dappled with functional movement and explorative sequencing. Believing, that the practice of yoga should not be about embodying an idealistic view of how it should look but rather connecting our conscious mind to a feeling.
