As seen on the Louis Theroux documentary 🎬 As part of the documentary, we had the incredible opportunity to offer @peterdohertyofficial and @thelibertines our Wim Hof Method breathwork & sound healing session, followed by an ice bath, ahead of their headlining performance at the Secret Garden Party Festival 🌿. Our 'On the Road' experience for musicians is all about helping them recharge, reset, and perform at their best. We love touring with these guys. Here's a glimpse of the ice bath experience. ❄️ #Breathwork #IceBath #Libertines #LouisTheroux #SecretGardenFestival #OnTheRoad @officiallouistheroux

Beyond grateful for the incredible journey with @thelibertines on their European tour! 🌍🎸 Honored to bring a dedicated wellness space to the band, crew, and supports—offering breathwork, ice therapy, yoga, massage, sound healing, and ceremonial cacao to help everyone recharge and stay energized on the road. 💆‍♂️✨ Our wellness hub became a true sanctuary—a place to pause, connect, and restore amidst the pressure and expectations of tour life.

Our recent trip to Rishikesh, embracing simple ashram life, a couple of aesthetic yoga spots, spending time alongside Maa Ganga, and immersing ourselves once again in dynamic movement, pranayama, and meditation has deeply reconnected us with our own root practice 🇳🇪 It has brought us back and offered reflection and remembering on our 1800+ hours of joint studies and almost 10 years of teaching experience which has reignited something within both of us 🔥 We feel ready to begin weaving more creative movement back into our sessions in a way that feels intuitive, functional, mindful, and supportive of the individual body whilst returning to the deeper roots of yoga through the 8 limbs, yogic philosophy, breath, meditation, and conscious living which supports us to rise - coming back to our own Root2Rise roots!! 🫜 Over the summer, we’ll be reflecting on our personal journeys and recommitting to our own dynamic yoga practice, pranayama, and meditation. If you know us, you’ll know we only ever share from a place of authenticity, offering practices and tools that are genuinely helping us navigate life in the present moment [that's why we have a big tool box!) 🔧 If there’s anything you’d love to experience more of within future classes, workshops, retreats, or offerings, we would genuinely love to hear from you and understand what would best support you on your own journey. Let's co-create our reality 🫂 #YogaJourney #Root2Rise #YogicLiving #MindfulMovement #yorkshirewellness

We returned to @parmarthniketan for 8 days for some personal reflection and remembering which was perfectly timed with their Buddha Purnima Silent Retreat. Buddha Purnima, Celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha and is a reminder of the possibility of awakening within all beings. In my very early Yin Yoga studies with mindfulness and meditation, Buddism was a key component and the big stand out to me was compassion - this really helped me personally with some wider family turbulence and was a big turning point to my way of thinking so to come back to Buddism theory and practice has been a real remembering and offered so much more than we could have ever imagined. ❤️ Key Reminders on Compassion ❤️ Compassion, kindness and understanding are incredible tools. Taking the time to step tack, listen and really understand with compassion and kindness another person's view, behavior or situation - it doesn't mean we need to "take it on" but we can cultivate non-judgment toward self and others, expanding the heart through intentional compassion practices and see the interconnections of all beings. In this retreat, Silence was a path to awareness and as we observed serving mauna (silence) we revealed the constant chatter of the mind and created space to witness thoughts rather than identify with them. We were gifted insightful lectures, used mantra, body, breath and rituals to support our discovery and all by the magnificent Ganga teaching us to let go, surrender and flow. 🤐 Key Reminders on Silence 🤐 🤫 SIlence is Golden 🤫 Respond not React (take 10 minutes to 24 hours before coming back to a trigger, difficult conversation etc) 🤫 Words can dramatise a situation so be mindful of what is said, internally and externally We were guided by some amazing teachers who we deeply admire and to be invited to @pujyaswamiji for an intimate satsang about Buddism, life and more.... was just... well... Priceless With so much gratitude to our teachers @ganganandini @pujyaswamiji , gayatriyogachara @rohanmaclaren and all of the team at @parmarthniketan - already looking forward to coming back to your spiritual home 🙏🏼 #Root2Rise #buddhapurmina

And that's a wrap!! ❄️ Winter season ordinarily brings our Alpine Retreats in the magnificent French Alps, local sessions where we offer our signature treatments and experiences alongside our beautiful UK offerings. BUT, if you follow us, you’ll already know that we made the difficult decision to cancel our winter programme so we could continue giving my dad the level of care he needed in Ireland after his two heart attacks. At the same time, Jim was finally booked in for a corrective orchiectomy after complications from a procedure six years ago, so we prioritised his surgery and recovery too. It has at times felt deeply frustrating, limiting, and worrying season in many ways and at times feeling utterly exhausted with high highs and low lows. But as we move into spring with more light, more colour, and more hope we can see this season for what it truly was…A return to our roots. A time to slow down, to be present, to care deeply, and to connect more than ever to our medicine toolkit... And in that, there has been so much to be grateful for: • Our Root2Rise community and our venues, for understanding why we needed to cancel, postpone, and limit our offerings • My dad being able to cope for short periods at home, allowing space for me to support Jim, take moments to breathe, and still offer limit sessions • Jim’s incredibly quick recovery, what should have taken 8 to 12 weeks took just 3 to 4 • Having a safe space to return to in the midst of caring for and supporting others • Being able to snowboard this season. Even though we were often too tired to go out, we still managed a few days even just an hour here and there, which felt like medicine • Our family, friends, and community, for holding us, giving us a bed, food, love, healing and opportunities when we needed it the most • Having our toolkit...our rituals, our practices, our medicine and trusting in what we know brings us back into balance, moment by moment This winter wasn’t the way we had planned… but it has given us the opportunity to review and reenforce that from strong roots, we rise 🌱 Thank you for being here with us through it all. Welcoming in a new season and whatever it brings 🙏🏼

Hello April, under the wisdom of the Libra Full Moon 🌕 Libra, the keeper of balance, invites us to walk the line between giving and receiving, doing and being, self and others. As someone born under this sign ♎ and after the last 10 months feeling completely thrown off balance... it feels like time to gently bring the attention back to us. Anyone else feeling the call? • To notice where your energy has been leaking. • To soften where you’ve been holding too tightly. • To realign with what feels true and not just what feels harmonious for others! This moon reminds us that balance isn’t something we achieve once.... It’s something we return to, again and again!!! And with "balance" in mind ..we have added some more events. They are still very limited as we continue to balance my dads care requirements (and our own!) but we do have a small number of offerings "live" through to the end of June. This is your invitation to come back into balance... from Root2Rise! #Root2Rise #FullMoonEnergy #LibraMoon #FindYourBalance #consciousliving
