Yoga & Hilltop Bathing Day Retreat Saturday May 30th, 2026, 9.45am - 6.30pm with Wendy
Wendy warmly invites you to a Spring day retreat of yoga & bathing under the sky in the open countryside meadow, where an oasis of calm awaits you. Set in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside inspired by the Scandinavian philosophy of balance. For an entire precious day, leave behind the noise of everyday life, stress and distractions and take a Paus (pronounced “pause”) from it all.
As you might know, Wendy is very keen on yoga, breathwork and contrast hot & cold therapy so finding a retreat which offers hot tubs upto 40 degrees with waiter/waitress service to the tub, contrasting cold plunge pools at various temperatures, saunas, barefoot wild field meditation trails, a yoga studio and three course meal, i’m instantly excited to share with you!
What do Paus say?
“On our little hilltop, you will find ten beautifully hand crafted, western red cedar hot tubs and “proper” Finnish dry barrel saunas. Cold showers, plunge pools, hot showers with toiletries, fresh air, rolling countryside views and the sound of the crackling fire complement the experience.”

THE SCIENCE
Heat
Reduces stress & anxiety
Helps to reduce insomnia
Relieves muscle pain
Reduces blood pressure
Helps release toxins & impurities
Cold
Increases alertness
Increases mental resilience
Improves blood circulation
Stimulates immune system
Reduces muscle inflammation
‘Contrasting’
Repeated exposure to extreme temperature changes.
Exercise for your blood vessels; in heat they relax and in cold they contract, pumping blood, lymph and endorphins around your body.
Our Day:
We’ll begin our day with a warming, solar infused yoga practice to awaken your cells and body with somatic movement, breath lead practice and a connection to the water element and swathistana chakra (our connection to creativity, flow and femininity) Wendy will offer breathing techniques to prepare you for your bathing experience.
Next there’ll be time to walk the bare foot meadow, meditation trail before enjoying a deliciously prepared three course lunch at the hill top restaurant.
Our three hour bathing experience awaits us next! As an optional extra, Wendy will be sharing a guided breathwork practice and mediation in the large group sauna. You may choose to move between pools and saunas or take another nature walk, indulge in quiet time or conversation at the restaurant or simple watch the crackle of fire around the fire pit…its flexible.
The final practice of the day will include a restful, submersive & integrating restorative, yoga nidra and Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls practice before you glide your way home into the evening.
There’ll be lots of laughs, teas and snacks throughout the day and a glass or two of prosecco (or soft drink) in the hot tub!
