2026 Schedule: Somatic Retreats in Shrewsbury, Shropshire & Franklin Method® Immersives in York, Edinburgh, London & Virtual
My Somatic Movement & Day retreats are always popular and frame the seasons. They are the perfect chance to dip your toe into Somatic Movement and are a good way to have a day of immersion in your body, and a day out for you. Come and work with me in person in a small group setting!
My Immersives & Livestreams are a somatic exploration within somatic movement education on a theme and last usually 2-3 hours and are in person & virtual. It’s your chance to experience some very rare and unusual work.
Like all of my sessions I work with small numbers as at the heart of somatic work is community and you.
Current events are listed below. Join my mailing list below and be the first to discover new events. In 2025 I have presented across the UK, Shropshire, Birmingham, London, York and Edinburgh and virtually across the world.

Coming in July and finally returning to Birmingham, my latest workshop Your Embodied Pelvis: Optimal function, dynamic movement and health.
The pelvis is a keystone in our body - a place where force is transferred and a place we can call our centre.
If you have suffered from lower back pain, or have problems with your hips, knees, ankles or feet it is possible that some of the solutions you are looking for are to be found in your pelvis.
If you practice or teach a movement modality such as Pilates, Yoga or Dance understanding how your pelvis functions and moves in movement is critical for healthy movement, precision and alignment.

What My Clients Say…
“Personally, I valued the space and the small group which created a very personal experience with a clear connection to the other participants, whose stories were very powerful. I loved the softness of the approach and the connection to the beautiful and powerful act of breathing and how breath connects to all systems of the body (the soma) including physical, emotional and spiritual. Breath is apparently such a simple act and yet such a beautiful act of self care and healing which can easily be incorporated into daily life and practice. ”
— A.G. Medical & Movement Professional, Summer Retreat 2025 Shrewsbury
“The retreat day was so relaxing in terms of location- beautiful rural scenery, warm almost festive sense of comfort from the fire, and healthy snacks and drinks on offer. Sarah brought the potentially baffling area of somatics to life and made it really relatable. For someone like me with a significant eye issue I learned techniques to refresh tired eyes and feel more comfortable. It was fascinating to hear about the vagus nerve and how your well-being can be enhanced and senses enlivened and refreshed with somatic movements. The whole day was firstly relaxing and the theory of the system was fascinating to learn about. I would recommend Sarah’s retreats to any on whether they want intellectual stimulation, body and mind relaxation, or both.”
— S.P. Civil Servant, Seasonal Somatic Day Retreat 2024 Shrewsbury
“Just wanted to say thank you for a really lovely day. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about my body, especially the heart!”
— R.S., Returning Home: the Felt Heart Retreat 2026 Shrewsbury
“I attended Sarah lungs workshop. it had a very marked and profound on my thinking about my body and my approach to my health. I often think in negative ways about my heart and breathing. Sarah’s language and movement really helped me feel better and I continue to use the movements. I also really love the Franklin balls. Thank you Sarah for your ability to notice and help..”
— J.S. Movement Professional Franklin Method® Livestream, The Lungs, Breath, Energy & Movement and Edinburgh
“Her enthusiasm and passion for sharing her knowledge of anatomy, coupled with her deep experiential understanding of the subtle rhythms of the body result in engaging classes; while her creativity in explaining these ideas and capacity to bring them into an embodied experience make the learning experientially-informed.
I’m so impressed by her own capacity for embodiment and her passion for sharing this with others, in which gentle attention and curiosity results in movement that’s joyful and pleasurable. By the end of her sessions I feel relaxed and delighted by the potential of my body as a place of rejuvenation and power..”

“I attended Sarah’s somatic event the Felt Heart in February. Sarah created a safe and welcoming space for us. We learnt about our heart and breath. We did gentle movement and journaling. I really started to understand how to move and breathe in an embodied way. I now have some tools to help me when I am overwhelmed. I highly recommend Sarah. She is kind and very skilled.”
— J. S. Movement Professional, Returning Home: the Felt Heart Retreat 2026 Shrewsbury
“If you’re hypermobile and / or a dancer keeping your body healthy through movement is crucial. But, understanding movement is essential... Sarah’s Franklin Method® classes are mind blowing and I can’t recommend them enough.”
— Lorna Ryan, MA, DIPION, MBANT, RCNHC, Nutritionist with Specialisms in Dancer Health and Hypermobility, Franklin Method® Classes Virtual
“The Franklin Method Breathe and Relax class was amazing. At the end of a busy, mind stretching day I anticipated struggling to switch off and relax. Following Sarah’s gentle prompts I was delighted. The breath work is immersive and my mind chatter stopped! The session left me relaxed but feeling healthy and energised... I highly recommend Sarah to anyone.”
— H.C. Shropshire, Company Director, Franklin Method® Classes
“I attended your pelvic floor workshop about a month ago, and I wanted to thank you again. It was truly eye-opening for me, and I deeply value everything I learned. I can honestly say that the embodied approach you teach feels like something my body needs and deserves—especially after years of pushing my body and dealing with pudendal nerve inflammation a little over two years ago”.
