Testimonials
Feedback from those who have participated in the wellbeing retreat days.
Vayia is one of the most kind, gentle and loving souls I have ever come across. Her retreat day was full of lovely people and magical moments.
It was amazing how we went through such a journey in just a day! We had Yoga, dancing mediation, sound healing mediation and to end a coca ceremony! Oh I almost forgot the amazing Sri lankan lunch that was provided too. If you are looking for a day retreat this one had everything and the location is simply beautiful! X

In January I attended one of Vayia's Yoga Retreat Days & it was nothing short of spectacular. Having never attended a retreat day before I wasn't really sure what to expect, apart from yoga obviously :).
I was going through a tough time both mentally & emotionally and needed a day like this to focus on myself, de-stress and get out of my head for a while. The meditation sessions certainly helped with that & the sound healing was such an amazing, relaxing experience. The intention setting and cacao ceremony at the end of the day was so enlightening & it was in this session that I felt a real breakthrough.
I walked away from the day feeling empowered and at ease to move forward in my life. Thank you Vayia, I will definitely be back xx

I recently experienced the most amazing retreat at the Wellness Barn with Vayia... We started with yoga, followed by kundalini dancing which was incredible, dancing on the spot with your eyes clothes to uplifting music. I felt free and not a care in the world.
The day was finished off with an Cacao ceremony, I felt the benefits of the cacao on the following day also, a feeling of clarity and calmness. I would highly recommend this retreat and I will be going again.

Vayia's wellbeing retreat day was absolutely amazing, the most blissful way to spend a Sunday surrounded by likeminded people, in a gorgeous location in the countryside. The day started with a gentle yin yoga class, moving into a powerful dynamic meditation. A yummy Ayurvedic lunch set us up for the afternoon with a sound bath and finishing off with a very special cacao ceremony. Thank you :)
