Methods
The methods we use
Everything in a programme has a mechanism behind it that can be explained to a guest in plain language. That rule decides what makes it onto the schedule.
Our science standard- Guided meditation
- Guided practice in attention and awareness of the body, matched to the time of day.
- Yoga nidra
- Structured deep rest, offered before sleep or after a physically demanding day.
- Breathwork
- Guided breathing practices for a focused start to the day or a calmer evening.
- Contrast therapy programming
- Heat and cold sessions coordinated with the property's spa team, facilities and wider guest programme.
- Sleep science
- The science of sleep, translated into practical choices about light, routines and the sleep environment.
- Talks
- Neuroscience explained in plain language, with examples and discussion shaped around the audience.
Guests learn the practices and the reasoning behind them.
