A day full of creativity, expression, self reflection and movement. This retreat blends the two arts of Photography and Yoga to create space for both inward reflection and outward expression. A day designed to help you find your creative voice, experiment with styles and take up space… oh, and meet other incredible girls on the same journey!
At first glance it’s easy to see photography and yoga as two very different worlds, but the more you practice both, the more you realise how much they compliment each other. Theres so much crossover in the essence of movement, creativity, self expression, flow and learning to ‘take up space’ - my core message with all of the work I do.
I can’t wait to see you there - Rosie x

The Photography:
We will have two different workshops during the day. The first will be a creative styled shoot (by me) to master the art of directing a model, capturing a creative concept, finding your style within a scene and more. I will offer guidance, tips and advice on shooting creative concepts throughout and you will have some time to be the soul-director of the shoot!
The second workshop will be 1:1 with a fellow retreat attendee to practice styling, creative direction and experimentation photographing eachother with some fun props provided (feel free to bring some of your own too). A chance to get creative, work closely with another photographer and have a go at being in front of the camera too. I will be offering personal guidance throughout this.
The Yoga:
I will guide you through some intentional yoga sessions and guided meditation throughout the day to set the tone and get you present and inspired - nothing intense, don’t worry! We’ll have a morning vinyasa flow to start the day off with flowy, fun, creative movement to get the creative juices flowing and into our bodies. Then a calming Yin-style practice to complete the day with time to reflect on all that we accomplished together.
I have 200hr Vinyasa & 50hr Yin Yoga Teacher qualifications and will incorporate both styles into the day, as well as lots of mindfulness and self reflection to create a comfortable, buzzing and friendly space together.
The Location:
The Peanut Factory Studio is one of my favourite studios in London because it’s so unique, well designed, full of natural daylight, versatile and beautiful! Its the perfect spot for our day because it lends itself to so much creativity and variation with shooting (i’ve even taken some funky flash photos of a client in the bathroom before… im not kidding!) It will be exclusively ours for the day.
The closest train station is Hackney Wick .
