EXPERIENCE THE ESSENCE OF RETREATING

This event is brought to you by Joie Yoga Studio in the Jewellery Quarter and our sister business Sole Wellness who have the same founder, your retreat host Maria. Collaborating to bottle the essence of a yoga and wellness retreat across this day experience for you. 

We can’t wait to share this experience with you.  

Switch to 'airplane mode' for a few hours—no busyness, no to-do lists …

Yoga ~ Breathwork ~ Nourishment ~ Jewellery Workshop

This retreat experience has been lovingly curated to give you intentional time and space to reconnect.

Reconnecting with your Self, your body and to creativity.

We understand that you’re busy, life is busy, which is why taking time to slow down is so essential and sacred. It’s in this stillness that you rediscover presence.

LET’S NOURISH

Maria will guide you through a Hatha Yoga practice, giving you several breaths in postures so you can really lean into how it feels in your body, disconnecting from what it looks like. 

Our yoga is accessible to all levels, whether you’ve never stepped foot onto a mat before or, are a seasoned yogi, Maria will give you different options of each posture. 

You’ll experience a blend of yoga, breathwork and somatics to guide you out of your head and back into your body. The movement will be slow yet strong, steady and intentional. Leaving you feeler lighter and physically freer, calm internally having self-soothed your nervous system. 

After your yoga practice, you’ll be nourished with the most beautiful hand prepared lunch. From selling out countless London supper clubs, Jade is now Midlands based which means you’re in for a real treat. Your lunch will be lovingly curated using seasonal ingredients for large sharing platters, catering for all dietary requirements. Nourishment on every single level imaginable. 

A real leisurely, family style lunch giving you time to take in our beautiful retreat setting, minima.

There’s lots of cosy corners to grab a tea, meeting like minded souls or catching up with your bestie.

Connection is at the core of this day.

LET’S CREATE

Your afternoon experience will be guided by our dear friend Roxanna Moznabi ~  British-Iranian Jewellery Designer and Award winning Goldsmith, Founder & Creator of Moznabi Fine Jewellery.

Roxy will take you through a wax carving workshop creating your own Talisman pendant, either for yourself or someone you love. 

Starting with a short meditation setting your intention for your talisman with focused love and attention. During the workshop she will guide you through all the hand carving techniques, experimenting with different wax carving tools to create your very own eye of protection talisman. 

Your Talisman pendant will be cast in sterling silver here in the historic Birmingham Jewellery Quarter. Roxy will clean up your castings and you’ll receive these in the coming weeks after your retreat experience. 

This is something to re-remind you of your retreat experience and the intention you set. There will be some eye of protection designs made by Roxy to perhaps inspire your own creation but each one will be beautifully unique.

The design is a symbol of protection blending ancient tradition with modern design to offer holistic protection and positive energy. Protecting you on your soul’s path, in your everyday.

 After this immersive experience, you’ll walk away feeling creatively inspired and deeply connected to your inner self. As you craft your talisman, you’ll set a powerful intention to protect and nurture yourself as you move into the winter months. This talisman will serve as a gentle reminder to be kind to yourself, to nourish your body and soul, and to embrace the slower pace that this season invites. You'll feel a renewed sense of calm and purpose, carrying with you the positive energy and mindful intentions set during the workshop. This experience will not only ignite your creativity but also empower you to approach the coming months with care and compassion for yourself.

MEET YOUR HOSTS

  • Founder of Joie Yoga Studio in the Jewellery Quarter & Sole Wellness ~ Yoga & Wellness Retreats

    Maria is the face behind Joie Yoga Studio here in the Jewellery Quarter and launched it’s baby sister business last year, Sole Wellness , curating nurturing yoga and wellness retreats in dreamlike locations.

    Having opened Joie Yoga Studio almost two years ago to offer a space outside of your walls where you can go to simply disconnect…“

    Without sounding too cliche… yoga saved me. Honestly. I was in high paced sales roles for 10 years which I gave my all to. But this was 100% to the detriment of my health, my relationships and my soul. I moved to the Jewellery Quarter to be closer to my work and by luck/the universe, my flat happened to be directly next to a yoga studio. I didn’t understand how or why at the time but my yoga classes soon became my non negotiable. Slowing me down, I earnt how to breathe consciously, to be still and that’s where everything changed – for the better. My beloved studio closed down which left a big void for so many of us and from there, I started teaching pop-up classes which after a couple of months spring boarded me into opening a studio. Joie Yoga has almost been open for two years now which is just incredible. However, I know I’m not alone in saying that sometimes a yoga class just isn’t quite enough which then resulted in me launching Sole Wellness for all things yoga and wellness retreats. This Spring I held our first retreat in Ibiza which completely sold out and our next one is taking place this Autumn. I know it’s not always possible or affordable to get away and so, day retreating is the way forward to have experiences and pure disconnection like you’d embody on retreat. I’m so excited to be able to have this day with you in my home town, it’s going to be magic.”

     Making jewellery with meaning is so important to Roxanna. Persian culture and all the beautiful ancient history has strongly influenced her work. She believes jewellery tells a story, holds memories and gets passed down generations, therefore it is something sacred.

    Roxanna has a home studio in Birmingham.

    Having grown up in a western culture but with deep Persian roots, she connects the two worlds and creates exotic and contemporary designs. Her pieces are timeless and authentic to her heritage.

    Her work is continuously influenced by the artistic and romantic cultural history of Persian designs, motifs and architecture.

    She creates an elegance and charm using warm colours and fluid forms in her collections, building precious treasures that will be passed down through generations.
