Accommodation.
Situated in the heart of the Coquet Valley, Brinkburn’s luxury holiday cottages are lovingly restored homes-from-home with stunning surroundings of Northumberland’s countryside and it's National Park – from heritage castles to beautiful coastlines.
Within each cottage, there is a choice of twin or double rooms with en-suites, designed to be shared but single occupancy is possible (scroll down for costs).
Accommodation includes a living room with a wood burner, kitchen, garden and two bedrooms; one with ensuite shower, one with ensuite shower and bath (one cottage has a shared bathroom for both bedrooms).
Yoga & Sound Healing.
If you are new to yoga or sound healing, you’re very welcome - during the yoga sessions we’ll provide many options for different levels. During the sound baths all you need to do is lie, relax and let the sound of the bowls & chimes wash over you!
We will offer a mixture of yoga styles - from energising and dynamic morning yoga to restorative, sleepy evening sessions (pre and postnatal options can be offered).
With a friendly and playful approach to teaching, we’ll focus on how it feels rather than how it looks.
If you’ve ever found trying to mediate / relax difficult, then sound healing will be great for you! It’s a very simple and powerful way to get into a state of deep relaxation.
Both practices are proven to reduce stress, low mood & fatigue.
Your Host
Annabelle Wright: Annabelle is a yoga teacher, sound & reiki healer. Her yoga classes are strong and steady, rooted in connecting with our inner world. She encourages students to practice mindfully and to connect with the subtle signals of the body as well as the breath, helping to find their way to the present. Invested in the belief that we are constantly learning and evolving, Annabelle brings this embrace of the unknown and possibility into her classes.
"Classes with Bells are absolutely magical. Her classes are so dynamic and fun, and the use of her voice is mesmerising! I cannot recommend her classes enough." MW
