An Urban Wellness Retreat at The Marker

A few snaps from last Saturday’s Urban Wellness Retreat at The Marker with the inspiring Liz Costigan from Positive Fitness. 

The day started with clean treats and green juices at the rooftop bar, followed by a lovely talk from Liz about health and wellness; she goes beyond just simply explaining the benefits of exercise and healthy eating. She makes you realise it’s about investing in yourself, and in feeding your mind, body and soul which, in turn helps you be calmer, happier, and just generally nicer to be around. Doing a full day of it also makes you see how everything – mindfulness, exercise, sleep, balanced eating – is all connected, and how they all feed into each other. Starting one makes the others easier.

Covering yoga, nutrition and how to work out basically anywhere, it was really fun day, with seriously delicious eats from The Marker (dying to get their recipe for those dark chocolate peanut butter cups, above). I treated my mum to a ticket, and it was lovely thing to get to do together. 

Fingers crossed she’ll do another one soon – I’ll make sure to post up deets if she does!
