Live Well Retreat: Move
Need a little cheerleading to get you moving? We’ve put together a stellar lineup of fitness fanatics to kickstart your 2026 fitness journey – all wrapped up in an exclusive two-night stay this winter.
We’ve drafted personal trainer and lifestyle coach Arron Collins-Thomas to teach the basics of Qigong, and purveyors of premium apparel Tracksmith to guide you through 1:1 movement sessions and remind you of the mood-boosting benefits of consistent movement. Channel your inner Wim Hof with an invigorating cold water dip, practise breathwork with our experts and enjoy daily yoga sessions before dinner.
As a self-guided retreat you can set your own pace, choose from menus designed to nourish and fulfil, and explore the estate and spa at your leisure. The Newt’s complimentary daily walks, yoga sessions and outdoor pursuits will be running alongside the retreat. Feel free to join in as much (or as little) as you like.
