It was so good to be hosting workshops back at Bestival again this year! Curated by Rob and Josie Debank Camp Bestival takes place in the beautiful grounds of Lulworth Castle and “combines all the fun of a fantastic family camping holiday with everything you’d expect from an idyllic and action-packed festival adventure.”

One of the things I love about Bestival (almost as much as Caravanserai…more on that in the pod!) is that it has an area dedicated to wellness which serves as the perfect retreat space when you need a break from the festival busy-ness.

Slow Motion is THE space to go to if you need a reset, a slice of calm and an opportunity to get an energy boost. And laughter yoga is such a perfect modality to deliver all of this. As well as laughter you can find an array of wonderful experiences such as meditation, gong baths, yoga, sauna and cold plunge and even the most delicious looking hot tubs this year!

What I particularly loved about this episode is it brings the Bestival family vibe as I had my youngest guests giving their thoughts on the festival and laughter yoga and who better to hear it from than kids right?!

If you haven’t been before do go check it out…I can’t wait to bring the laughter energy back next year!

Awwwwwwwww it felt so good to be back at this beautiful festival! Lovingly created by the brilliant Andrew and Ed combining their passion of wellbeing, the outdoors and festivals, Wellness in the Wild is now in its third year and I’m so grateful to be part of it.

Such a thoughtfully curated weekend fully focused on your wellness, it comes as no surprise to me that Wellness in the Wild has been voted one of ‘The Top 5 Wellness Festivals in the UK’ by The Independent.

With over 150 experiences over 10 spaces there really is something for everyone; from a wealth of gorgeous offerings you can enjoy yoga, gong baths, inspiring talks, wood fired hot tubs, wellbeing workshops, incredible live music, laughter yoga (obvs!) and soooooooooo much more.

Set in the stunning Suffolk countryside it’s the perfect opportunity to hit pause and allow yourself to reconnect and reset.

I could only make it there for a day last year as I had other commitments to honour and that was enough to make sure I had the whole weekend firmly etched in my diary this year as I didn’t want to miss any of it this time round.

If you haven’t been before please do check it out. I’ve totally fallen in love with Wellness in the Wild and it’s safe to say next year’s date is already blocked out on my calendar!

Ahhhhhhhh I just LOVE this festival…it really is one of my happy places and every year I go back it just feels like coming home.

Oozing a super welcoming vibe it attracts such a brilliant crowd ready to take some time for themselves to reset and reconnect.

Not only have Fearne Cotton and team created a beautiful balance with the offerings as there is quite literally something for everyone, the setting itself is so thoughtfully curated to enhance the experience.

I was delighted to be back for the third year running sharing laughter yoga and it was such a joy to catch up with familiar faces who keep coming back every year. Such a testament to how loved Happy Place is.

If you’ve never been before definitely check it out…it’s a permanent annual fixture in my diary now!
