I’m very excited to share my first Wellness Day Retreat: Learn to Relax, at beautiful Sourdown Farm, Butleigh, near Glastonbury.

This will be a gentle, supportive day of simple chair-based yoga, relaxation, mindfulness and wellbeing activities — created for anyone who feels ready to pause, breathe, reset and take a little time for themselves.

No yoga experience is needed, and everything will be gentle and adaptable.

You’ll also receive a small take-home wellbeing toolkit to help you continue the feeling of calm afterwards.

My aim is not for you to need another retreat — it is to help you create one within your own life, every single day.

Where: Sourdown Farm, Butleigh, near Glastonbury
When: Wednesday 29th July 2026
Limited to 20 spaces

Hello everyone,

I know I haven’t posted on this page for quite a while, but I haven’t disappeared — I’ve been busy with my yoga work in specialist settings, supporting children and young people with additional needs.

I’m now simplifying things and bringing all of my yoga work together in one place.

Rather than having several separate pages for different areas of my work, I’ll now be using my main page:

Wendy Sugg Yoga

This will be the best place to stay connected and see updates about my yoga work.

My approach is gentle, accessible and inclusive, and can support children, young people and adults, including those with additional needs, disabilities, anxiety, stress, limited mobility, fuller bodies, or anyone looking for a calmer and kinder approach to yoga.

Please follow my main page here:

"In June 2015, I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia, severe bone marrow failure. The condition which is rare, is treated initially through a drug regime, but if not successful, could require a bone marrow transplant.

I have been very fortunate, as I have responded well to the medication, but I also believe that the alternate therapies that I have received have gone a long way to assisting this process.

Whilst in Hospital, I was able to receive some aromatherapy and reflexology. Not knowing anything of these therapies I questioned their place, however I could clearly see that I felt good after they had been delivered. Whilst in hospital I spoke to the therapists in regard to getting further treatments when I had left and what they suggested. I spoke of reflexology and of yoga.

On discharge through local directories I found details of both Wendy Sugg, yoga teacher, and Jane Clisby reflexology and reiki therapist, both very local to myself, and arranged to meet them both.

Wendy came to my home and we spoke in depth regarding my condition, of which she had been unaware of, but she was already thinking of solutions that could be found within yoga, to assist with stimulating my immune system. The sessions were to be one to one and every week, she comes to my home which initially takes away lots of other concerns as travelling was not always possible.

Initially I was unable to complete all the yoga poses due to my condition, but Wendy is fabulous, offering loads of support and encouragement, but more importantly ensuring that each session is bespoke enabling me to fulfil my potential each time. This might be achieved by use of additional equipment or aided through changes in the way the poses are completed.

She is passionate about yoga and how it works with a whole lifestyle, she is always ready to give other advice relaxation, meditation and diet that make up a complete therapeutic system to aid recovery and always willing to temper the sessions to the individual.

I know that my continuing recovery from what is a serious condition is subject to many factors, these include my response to the medication without any sizable side effects, my positivity which has continued throughout my treatment, but I now believe that all these areas are significantly increased with Yoga and Reflexology which ensure that I feel relaxed and able to face this severe illness head on together, with the right frame of mind.

I cannot praise them enough for their work with me and hope through I continuing therapy I will see a full recovery."

It all started back in 1974, when I was 10 years old.

I found a book about yoga in the local health food shop and I was hooked!

Fast forward to 2010 and I was involved in a serious accident which left me in a wheelchair for 9 months.

During my long, slow recovery, I developed my own gentle yoga routines that I could do from my bed or from my wheelchair.

The accident was the gift that set me on the path to specialising in gentle yoga for people with limitations, disabilities, mental health issues and special needs, including those with sensory impairment (deafness and blindness).

If you're like most people, you probably think of yoga as a way to stay fit and flexible. But did you know that yoga can also be a powerful tool for managing stress? In today's fast-paced world, it's more important than ever to take some time out for yourself and de-stress. And there's no better way to do that than with some good old-fashioned yoga.

Yoga is a great way to manage stress because it helps you to focus on the present moment. When you're focused on your breath and your body, it's impossible to worry about what's going on in the outside world. Yoga also helps to boost your mood by releasing endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good chemicals. And last but not least, yoga is a great way to get in touch with your inner self and relax both your mind and your body.

You might be wondering if yoga is a good activity for your child with special needs. The answer is a resounding yes! Yoga can help children with special needs in so many ways - from improving flexibility and muscle strength to promoting concentration and calmness.

Yoga for children with special needs is more than just exercise. It's a way to help them focus, find calmness, and feel good about themselves. Here are some of the many benefits of yoga for children with special needs:

◾ Yoga can help improve flexibility and muscle strength. This is especially beneficial for children who are confined to wheelchairs or who have other mobility issues.

◾ Yoga can help promote concentration and calmness. This is helpful for children who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, or other mental health issues.

◾ Yoga can help children feel good about themselves. This is important for all children, but it can be especially helpful for children with special needs who might not feel included in traditional sports or activities.
