A restorative day of yoga, meditation, breathwork and sound healing comes to the Old Library in Newbury

We are excited to announce a brand-new wellness experience taking place at the Old Library this autumn.

This Wellness Retreat will be led by professional practitioner Nourish by V, offering a nurturing one-day retreat across the Old Library building designed to help guests rest, reset and reconnect in a calm and welcoming environment.

Taking place on Saturday 5 September between 9.30am - 3.30pm in the peaceful surroundings of the newly refurbed Old Library, this immersive wellness day offers guests aged 18+ the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and dedicate time to their own wellbeing. Combining gentle yoga, breathwork, meditation, restorative practices and crystal bowl sound healing, the retreat has been thoughtfully created to encourage deep relaxation, inner balance and renewed energy.

Led by Veronica from Nourish by V, the day will guide participants through a carefully curated journey of mindful practices designed to calm the nervous system, release tension and reconnect the mind and body. Beginning with Oracle cards and essential oils to encourage reflection and intention setting, guests will move into breathwork, guided meditation and gentle morning yoga to awaken the body, improve mobility and create a sense of calm.

As the day unfolds, participants will be invited to slow down further through restorative practices and afternoon Yin Yoga, supporting relaxation, working with the fascia and encouraging physical and emotional wellbeing. The experience will conclude with crystal bowl sound healing, allowing guests to surrender into deep rest through the vibrations and frequencies of crystalline sound.

This retreat is an opportunity to pause, breathe and simply be. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, carrying stress, or simply craving time to recharge, the day is designed to leave you feeling grounded, refreshed and restored.

No previous experience of yoga, meditation or sound healing is needed. The retreat is beginner-friendly and welcomes anyone looking to explore gentle wellbeing practices in a supportive and peaceful setting.

A nourishing lunch and refreshments are included, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in this restorative experience without having to worry about the details.
