Bournemouth Wellbeing Experience – Bournemouth

Absolutely brilliant way to spend a morning. I was visiting Bournemouth for a couple of days and when I saw the opportunity for a body workout followed by yoga and meditation on the beach, I just had to sign up. Very well run.

Came down from London for the weekend to visit family and thought we would give the classes a go. We did the 3 Saturday morning classes. It really was amazing and would highly recommend the 7:15 start!!

I arrived at the retreat not knowing anyone, but left with a group of friends. I was nervous coming on my own, but the venue was easy to find and the views of the beach spectacular. The retreat host really looked after us and instantly put me at ease. We were regularly offered flavoured waters and the food at the retreat was excellent. Fresh, nutritious and of the highest quality. The venue was modern and very well presented, with luxurious surroundings. Ocean Beach Hotel is linked with two other hotels, offering a variety of leisure and spa options, including heated outdoor pools, indoor leisure facilities, restaurants, bars and even a pub. The sessions were educational, inspirational and designed for real-world application. The recommendations were practical and realistic, some of which I have already incorporated into my life. I loved the fitness sessions and felt challenged, but only to my own limits. The yoga and meditation sessions were restorative and a great reminder of the power of nurture. Time between the activities meant that I really bonded with my fellow guests and left feeling more confident and fulfilled. I thoroughly enjoyed the retreat and left feeling much mentally lighter.

Unbelievable Results!!! The Oceana resort was very accommodating, the staff were helpful and friendly. I felt right at home. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging and just great to be around. Although I already knew Gavin I felt like I got to know the rest of the team well and made some new friends. The others guests were friendly and we all got along really well. Again, new friends made. I found the sessions / seminars just right for timings and I love that the instructors all joined in too. So many different sessions, timed perfectly. After this retreat I was absolutely buzzing for days. It lifted me up to an incredible height and left me just wanting to do it all over again. I can't wait for the next one........

The Oceana resort was very welcoming, the staff were very kind and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing. Being Vegan they catered so well and provided exciting and delicious food. Was great they put the extra effort in to provide for all dietary requirements. I was greeted on arrival, guided where I needed to be and immediately made to feel welcome. The facilities were great. Very well kept together and the rooms were very warm and comfortable. I’d stay there again and will be recommending to friends and family. The instructors were very informative, really knew their stuff and the delivery was very clear and easy to understand. They were very engaging, friendly and professional. The overall balance was great. The others guests were all very friendly. They were a great bunch of people and it good to meet new people which similar interests. We shared our stories and it was very interesting to hear why we were on the retreat and what we all wanted to achieve. As the day was so uplifting and enjoyed by all the atmosphere was great. I was sad for the weekend to end but we will all keep in touch. We had so much fun and were laughing throughout. I found the sessions/seminars very well-spaced out with the right amount of information. I stayed fully engaged and interested in what was seeing talked about. The interaction was just right. I took away great techniques for meditation and ways to relax more. It helped me with breathing techniques and ways to clear your mind which I very much need. I gained a better understanding of food and the advantages of living a healthy lifestyle. I felt so relaxed and revitalised after this retreat. I definitely left with a sting in my step looking forward to loving a healthier lifestyle. What an accomplishment. This was an absolutely amazing retreat.
