stretch and scare

Friday 31st Oct – Sunday 2nd Nov

Enjoy a break with Victoria Cunningham-Downey of StretchBodyMind. infectedcrow-300x300

This fun-filled weekend will involve Yoga, Pilates, mingling with friends, some scares (it IS Halloween, after all), an abundance of herbal tea (or vino) and lots and lots of shopping! That’s right! This is not your normal yoga retreat.

For a start there are no detoxifying foods or early morning meditation sessions. Instead, enjoy practicing a buchanan stvariety of Stretch classes, trying out meditation activities and journaling and, of course, shopping in the city centre of Glasgow, which is second only to London in the range of high street and designer shopping it has to offer.

And, as a special Halloween treat, we will be taking part in the “One Square Mile of Murder” Walking Tour arranged for the Friday night! This has received 51 very good or excellent reviews out of 59 on Trip Advisor with one reviewer saying “Laughed all the way through even though the stories were so serious. A mixture of history, humour and darkness.”

Accommodation and transportation are your responsibility but, at the time of writing, Easyjet flights from Belfast International to Glasgow were just over £50 return and we are recommending you check out the Mercure Glasgow City Hotel or the Merchant City Inn for Double and Twin rooms which are right beside our training venue hempel– The Corinthian Club.

The Corinthian Club, in the heart of Glasgow city centre, houses a variety of private bars, dining and event rooms over five levels, including some of the finest ‘Grade A’ listed Victorian interiors in the UK. The Herald newspaper said they should charge just to come and look at this place, it is spectacular and truly beautiful. This is a setting of the highest European standard”  whereas Victoria says “It is GORGEOUS – sophisticated and so central!”
