Wintering: a quiet resilience
A Winter Gathering at Parnham
Parnham Park, Beaminster, Dorset
Thursday, 19 November 2026
This day has been carefully considered to be more than just a yoga and fitness morning — one which invites you to lean in. It is suitable for people of all ages, abilities and stages of life.
Your Hosts
Hannah Gilbert
Strength and movement
Hannah has worked with bodies for fifteen years, and knows the difference between a day to push and a day to pull back. Friendly and approachable, with a wealth of experience worn lightly, Hannah trains people of every age and stage and has a knack for meeting you exactly where you are on the day. Her belief is a simple one: training through the winter should leave you stronger and more alive, never depleted.
Katie Horne
Yoga, Qigong and somatic movement
Katie will weave together an hour of yoga, Qigong and somatic movement, inviting you to slow down and listen to your body's wisdom. The session will draw on the element of water, the Chinese element associated with winter.
Katie believes that only we can offer the best judgement on what feels right for our own body, and so although she will guide you through the flow, she encourages her students to tune in and find the confidence to move in a way that is truly beneficial to them on that day.
