Strength and Yoga Day Retreat with Fontaine & Jay
Start your year strong with a wholesome day of strength training, a nourishing yoga session, delicious food and immersive workshops.
Join us on Sunday 18th January 2026 for Strength & Yoga Day Retreat - a full day of movement, nourishment and a deep reset ready for the year ahead. This day retreat is designed for all levels, whether you’re brand new to strength training and yoga or a seasoned pro at either. You’ll be guided safely, supported fully, and encouraged to go at a pace that feels good for your body on the day.
We’ll begin the day with fresh juice, grounding breath work, gentle stretches, and intention setting before moving into an energising Strength & Conditioning session with Fontaine. After a delicious two-course lunch, we’ll then explore how you can tap into an athlete mindset, setting goals, and understanding what strength truly means to you through an interactive workshop.
The afternoon gently softens into Yin yoga, guided meditation, and space to pause and reflect with Jay. To close the day, you will experience a deeply restorative sound bath helping your mind and body to relax and recover.
We hope you leave feeling empowered and reconnect to your inner strength, with clarity of what 2026 can look like for you.
Come as you are, this is your day! A chance to step into the year feeling stronger, more grounded and inspired to make 2026 your year.
We can’t wait to spend this Sunday with you,
