Mollie’s classes and ‘Unmind’ events explore the art of bhakti yoga, through embodiment, mindfulness and yogic philosophy, to deepen the sense of joy and grounding inside ones Self. Her passion, on and off the mat, is a practice of coming home to your body, home to the breath, and allowing this to provide an anchor of deep connection with the present moment. Her focus on ‘UnMinding‘ is a practice of Unwiring conditioned patterns of the mind, in order to empower each individual to move back to a place where thoughts, stories, and anxieties no longer solely define experience. She has been teaching retreats around the world for the last two years, bringing together Movement, Meditation and Ceremony with Live Music in collaboration with her Partner Sam Garrett Music.

For twenty years Leslie enjoyed an exciting career in design and branding, working in New York, Rome and London. She first turned to nutrition when doctors diagnosed her as “so infertile, IVF would not work”. She changed her diet and lifestyle and was able to have a daughter in 2004 and a son in 2006, both entirely naturally. Conventional medicine disappointed Leslie again when her son was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder and doctors were unable to help. She decided to retrain as a nutritional therapist to support his health and learned that stress was one of the primary blocks to his recovery. Today, Leslie loves helping clients address all types of stress, giving them simple strategies to stop stressing and start living.

Yoga has improved every aspect of Martin’s life. He believes regular practice leads to a stronger, flexible and eventual calmer body and mind. Martin teaches yoga in studios all across London and loves the impact it has on so many people’s lives. His daily inspiration is obtained from people from all walks of life. His passion for practising and teaching is a direct reflection of the energy created from the hard work and dedication of students in his class. After years of failed attempts at ‘getting fit’ and kicking bad habits the strict routine, mix of tension and release and breathing exercises captivated Martin immediately. He finds teaching a yoga class creates a special energy within an incredibly supportive and non-judgmental environment, something that every human being can benefit from. He feels blessed to be part of a great community striving for health and self-awareness.

Mandy has been a holistic practitioner since 1998. Her early career and toxic lifestyle as a singer and dancer eventually took its toll. A homeopath diagnosed her with a common western yeast infection Candida Albicans. This diagnosis changed her life, motivating and inspiring her to take responsibility for her health – physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Mandy brings a mountain of experience to Wild View Retreat. She went on her first detox retreat 17 years ago in 2001 and spent 12 years running her own successful Retreat company in the UK. Being in the retreat environment is where Mandy feels most at home. “It’s where you see incredible transformations take place, literally in front of your eyes, and I simply love being able to support people through that process. It never fails to lift my heart”.

Daisy bridges the gap between yoga, barre, callisthenics and functional training. Formally a long distance runner, racking up the miles obsessively week by week, Daisy learnt the tough lesson through long-term injury that this was neither a kind nor efficient way to utilise the body. Movement should make us feel stronger, calmer, healthier, happier and more energised. Make your body function better so you can live with more vitality. Daisy works in London’s leading gyms and helps support clients achieve body confidence through skill-based training.
