Sweat, Sip & Savour
Yoga with Kate
Kate teaches vinyasa flow which incorporates a range of both gentle and more dynamic yoga moves in a supportive environment. Kate’s style of teaching is always open, inclusive, relaxed and fun! The Yoga classes are suited to all levels and abilities, with a focus on building strength and flexibility in the body, whilst helping to quieten the mind.
Movement with Sapan
Sapan Sehgal is a leading figure in the fitness industry; described as a “total star” by The Times and “the anti-personal trainer” by the BBC.
Sapan’s innovative technique and charming personality is undeniable, earning him a starring role as one of London’s top 3 personal trainers in the BBC television series Best In Town. He is London’s go-to fitness expert and consultant, contributing to numerous media outlets including Women’s Fitness, Women’s Health, Coach Mag and The Debrief.
Sapan founded the vibrant and cutting edge London Fields Fitness Studio in 2010 after working as a model and a top trainer in one of London’s most successful commercial gyms. Hailed by Time Out as “The friendliest workout space imaginable”, Sapan’s mission is keeping fitness fun, affordable and accessible to all. He has developed a unique style of training -The London Fields Method, a combination of bodyweight-centric exercises that can be replicated at home without a penny.
Booty Camp (Sapan’s signature sell-out class) has attendees drenched in sweat, making new friends over “bum-fights” and shrieking with laughter. Booty Camp at London Fields Fitness Studio was name-checked by the Evening Standard as one of the best places to go for Targeted Workouts in London.
Stretch with Rachele
I’m Rachele, Founder of stretch inc. and Eat Move Sleep Retreat.
I’m an expert stretchologist with a passion for helping people stay mobile. Stretching our bodies—and our minds—keeps us active and healthy. It’s never too late to start, no matter your fitness level or flexibility.
My yoga journey began in 2005. I used it as a space to relieve tension, warm up (I love a hot yoga room), and quiet my mind. But the realities of my job meant yoga was only a temporary relief. I needed more, so in 2010, I became a certified yoga instructor. Over the next 10 years, I deepened my practice, striving for balance (both physically and metaphorically), and focused on my passion as a teacher—making yoga accessible to everyone.
Along the way, I discovered many misconceptions between yoga and stretching and unravelled some deep fears that hold people back. My new passion is dismantling those misconceptions and removing the labels that often seem intimidating or prevent people from starting their own movement practice.
As a stretchologist, I focus on mobility—helping you find the sweet spot between fitness and flexibility. It’s that place that improves your day and your life. Simply put, stretching is critical to maintaining mobility for life. It helps us do more and live better for longer.

Wine Tasting
Wine tasting with a local wine representative is included in your retreat packages. Taste the flavour of the Kent countryside right in your glass.
The Small Holding
There’s a rustic, farmhouse-like feel to this former village pub run by two brothers. The team’s focus is firmly on self-sufficiency, growing an array of fruit and vegetables on their own land, using no-dig and low-intervention methods. This seasonal produce heavily informs the monthly changing tasting menu, which blends British and Nordic culinary influences in dishes that have bold, well-balanced flavours and lots of personality.
