Weekend Retreats
The Equestrian Mindaway Retreat is a place of vitality - whether you are an experienced rider or just hold a place for horses in your heart, we have the right experience for you. The Equestrian Mindaway is a retreat for rebirth and recreation, where you turn dreams into reality and enhance the quality of your life.
The Equestrian Mindaway London is located in the English countryside in the County of Surrey, one hour south from the centre of London. We take you through a daily schedule built by professional therapists and trainers - mindfully customised to each visitor or team.
The routine includes:
Yoga/Pilates. Yoga and Pilates are great practices for all equine enthusiasts, because they combine breathing, core strength, and balance. An efficient way to raise vibrational energy, increase awareness and control of your whole body – which is essential for a good rider. And it doesn't matter what shape you're in - these practices can be customized for everyone.
Horse riding. Work with Dressage rider and holistic trainer Linnea Aarflot at Oldencraig Equestrian Centre, one of the top five Equestrian centers in the World. Your riding experience at Oldencraig is tailor-made. Linnea can teach anything from a calm ride for the beginner to an a Advanced School Master for the experienced dressage rider. Your lesson will be focused around you and your needs and interests.
Organic & locally produced food. We will provide organic and locally produced food during the retreat.
Meditation/Mindfulness. A daily meditation calms the mind, allowing you to think and act clearer in every aspect of your life. We work with the yoga and meditation expert Vivianne Freeman. Vivianne has worked as a qualified British Wheeb of Yoga teacher and mindfulness coach for more then 12 years, with experience of working with athletes. She helps the riders locate their physical and mental strength and weaknesses, to break barriers and step into the next level.
Book time for yourself. Spending time in a relaxed atmosphere creates the space needed to release emotions, energy and stress. Whether you choose to spend this time in the centre of London, in the nearby country side visiting English castles, or just in meditation - some "time with yourself" will have it's place on your daily schedule.
Companies can book a pre-planned package including an guide for group exercises and team building. Individuals, friends and families can book therapeutic, holistic sessions and retreats for personal or professional growth.
