How this session can help you

Reduced Stress

We cannot underestimate the impact of stress on absolutely every system of the body - cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive, nervous - the list goes on.

Research has shown that just 20 minutes in nature can significantly reduce your levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and immersing the body in cold water boosts dopamine (feel good hormone) levels.

Social Interaction

Social interaction can lighten your mood and make you feel happier. It lower's your risk of dementia, promotes a sense of safety, belonging and security. And it allows you to confide in others and let them confide in you.

A wealth of evidence shows humans share the fundamental need to interact with others to contribute to our wellbeing.

Improved Quality of Life

Taking time out from your daily routine to recharge very often drained batteries has an impact not only on our physical health but our mental and emotional wellbeing too.

This impacts and improves our relationships with others - you cannot pour from an empty cup, taking care of yourself ultimately takes care of the people you love the most.

 ABOUT RETREAT TO THE SEA

The dip in the sea awakens the child within, pier jumping gives you a huge sense of achievement, enjoying nourishing food el fresco with like minded souls fulfils our need for social interaction and the soundbath heals your energetic body on a cellular level.

Shirli took on a group from PTSB and I can only describe the overall experience as phenomenal. The benefits were felt from day 1 of the 6 week program. The sessions were both fun and beneficial. Every participant raved about it and were all in better form from day 1. Cannot recommend Shirli any higher than saying we will be all reconnecting for a further program. 10 out of 10.

Thank you so much Shirli for the classes at HITtheWALL 2022. All Swimmers left the classes with more knowledge of how to maintain injury free when swimming longer distances, swimmers just felt so relaxed and energised for the swims over the weekend. You are very attentive and intuitive teacher, great at adapts every pose to work for every swimmer in the room. I just really love the way (and the what) you teach can’t wait to have you at HITtheWALL 2023. Thank you – classes were just perfect. 😘

Having been accustomed to live yoga classes I never imagined it any other way. Along came lockdown and Zoom yoga classes were a lifeline both for the yoga content and the banter with Shirli and the group. Then Vitality Vibe arrived and I thought initially that it wouldn’t be for me. I doubted my own motivation to use the site and if I did it would be a “robotic” process! But, knowing I could cancel at any time, I took up membership and joined a whole new world……. Yoga classes recorded from live classes (some of which I had attended) so nothing “robotic” about them. Shirli’s teaching is so natural and easy to follow, with options for all abilities and the banter is still there! The options for doing my practice are varied. I can choose the length of time I want to spend and choose the areas I want to work on (all clearly laid out). I also like to walk and I have used the site for short (18 mins) sessions to loosen up before a long hill walk. Yoga, with all its options, is only a part of what is available from Vitality Vibe. There’s an entire medical cabinet waiting to be discovered.
