Monthly Reset with Emily Gilchrist

The Monthly Reset is a two-hour wellness retreat in Oxted, Surrey, led by yoga teacher Emily Gilchrist. Held on the third Friday of every month, it is a mini retreat for anyone who wants a few unhurried hours of breathwork, yoga, meditation and deep rest in a small group, without going away for a weekend.

What to Expect

The session begins with mindful breathing and traditional yogic pranayama, deepening breath awareness and settling the mind into calm presence. From there the group moves through an integral yoga flow, shaped around strength, alignment, flexibility and balance in both body and mind. A guided meditation and breath awareness practice runs alongside the movement.

The final part of the morning is an extended deep relaxation, giving the nervous system time to unwind. During it, each person receives a mini massage and Reiki. Sessions run from 10 am to 12 pm.

Afterwards, those who want to stay together a little longer can enjoy a healthy lunch at the café below the venue. It is optional, pre-booked and paid for separately, either by contacting the café directly or through the registration link.
