new year, new opportunities

Welcome to our New Year members magazine.

What a wonderful few months it has been settling into my role here at Champneys Henlow! I truly feel at home, and I’m so grateful to have built such an amazing team around me. Every day, I am inspired by the passion, dedication, and positivity that our team brings to the spa, and it’s a real privilege to work alongside them. Your support and energy as members also make every day so enjoyable and motivating, and I want to take this moment to thank you for being such a vibrant part of our community.
 
We have some truly exciting workshops coming up that I can’t wait to share with you. Our PTs have been working hard to design sessions that are not only fun and challenging but also tailored to help you reach your personal wellness goals. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve flexibility, enhance your mobility, or simply reconnect with your body, there is something for everyone. These workshops are designed to complement your regular routine and provide an extra boost of motivation, education, and support. Each session is a chance to learn new techniques, refine your form, and enjoy the camaraderie of our amazing Champneys community.
 
In addition to our regular PT-led workshops, we have some very special collaborations in store that I’m particularly thrilled about. We’ll be welcoming Bianca Caplan and Rosie Hill to host holistic workshops that are designed to guide you gently through the winter months into spring. These workshops will focus on nurturing your body, mind, and spirit, helping you maintain balance and wellbeing even during the darker, colder days. Bianca and Rosie bring a wealth of experience in holistic practices, and their sessions will provide unique insights and techniques to support your emotional, physical and spiritual wellness. They’re perfect for anyone looking to recharge, reset and set intentions for the new season ahead.
 
We are committed to offering experiences that align with Champneys’ four pillars of wellness – nutritional, physical, emotional and spiritual and social –so you can leave each workshop feeling refreshed, motivated, and more connected to your own wellbeing. Whether it’s through mindful movement, breathwork, strength training, or holistic practices, our goal is to provide you with tools that enhance your everyday life, help you manage stress, and inspire a sense of balance and vitality.
 
Thank you again for being part of this journey with us. Your enthusiasm, participation and feedback mean so much and they help us continue to create a vibrant, welcoming and inspiring environment for everyone. Keep an eye on our calendar for all the upcoming workshops and make sure to join us for these exciting opportunities to learn, grow, and enjoy the support of your Champneys community. Here’s to the coming months of wellness, connection, and inspiration – I can’t wait to see you at the workshops!

Warmest regards

Your member benefits

thai yoga bodywork
Taught by the talented Alberto De Fortuna.

Alberto employs a number of techniques including:

  • Acupressure - (using Hands, Thumbs, Fingers, Feet) to apply pressure directly along the energy points (meridians, or Sen Lines) in your body. Your therapist will focus on ten main Sen Lines. This will release areas of blocked energy in the body, helping to bring the body back to a state of natural equilibrium, where balance and wellbeing are present. The main energy lines run throughout the whole body, with some focus applied to legs, back, head and shoulders.
  • Manipulation – the lengthening, twisting and mobilisation of limbs, joints and spine.
  • Dynamic Movements – gentle rocking and assisted yoga style stretches. Using body-weight instead of strength and a steady and meditative rhythm, Thai Yoga bodywork looks and feels like a graceful dance between giver and receiver.

The benefits are countless. 

By freeing the flow of vital energy in the body, Thai Yoga Bodywork can improve posture, breathing, flexibility, digestion and circulation. Muscles are stretched, inner organs toned and emotional and nervous tension is reduced. Often a deep sense of peace can be experienced during and after the service.
