What is included in the price?

Your retreat includes women’s circles, childcare each day, yoga, meditations, womb circles, kids yoga and full board nourishing meals. You’ll also have time to relax by the pool, connect with other mums, and enjoy a slower, more supported rhythm throughout your stay. Check out the extensive list on our Upcoming Retreats page for even more information!
Do you have travel cots, car seats and highchairs?
7
Yes! Please let us know what you'll need when booking, and we'll have it ready for your arrival where possible.
We can provide travel cots, highchairs, and car seats. We can also arrange nappies and other baby essentials for an additional cost. If your little one has specific sleep needs, including co-sleeping arrangements, let us know in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
If there's anything else that would make travelling easier for your family, just ask—we're always happy to help.
Is this retreat suitable for all mothers?
8
Absolutely. Held Within is a space for all mothers. We welcome women of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, abilities, family structures, and life experiences.
Whether you're newly navigating motherhood or have been on this journey for years, whether you're feeling confident, overwhelmed, connected, lost, or somewhere in between - you are welcome here.
Our intention is to create a supportive, non-judgemental environment where mothers can show up exactly as they are. There is no expectation to look a certain way, parent a certain way, or have it all figured out. We believe every mother deserves to feel seen, valued, and held.
Do I need any previous yoga experience?
9
Not at all. Our yoga sessions are designed to be accessible, gentle, and supportive for all levels of experience and fitness. Whether you practice yoga regularly or have never stepped onto a mat before, you will be able to participate comfortably.
The focus is not on performance or ability, but on creating space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and enjoy mindful movement in a nurturing environment. You're encouraged to move at your own pace and honour what feels right for you.
What is a women's circle?
10
A women's circle is a space for women to come together in connection, conversation, and community. It's an opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and spend time with other women in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.
At Held Within, our circles may include guided reflection, sharing, meaningful discussion, and practices designed to help you reconnect with yourself and others. There is never any pressure to speak or share more than feels comfortable - you are welcome exactly as you are.
Many women describe circles as a chance to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. In a world where mothers are often the ones holding everyone else, a women's circle offers the opportunity to be held too.
