In other Slomo news I’m running my last Learn to Meditate course in a couple of weeks and there are two spaces left.. dates are Weds 20, Thurs 21 and Friday 22nd Nov and the course will be 6-730pm each evening. It’s an effortless and hugely rewarding technique to learn and if you’re sat there thinking ‘you’ll never be able to tame my mind and my racing thoughts, Robby,’ then try me! If you’d like to know more hit me up on the old DM 🙌🫵
First day at the UKs first floating sauna done… what a dream to finally have her afloat ❤️ 🎥 by @samscadgell
If you want to turn off your phone and forget about the real world for a minute then the Slomo Winter Warmer @tapnellfarm is almost ready for business… launching tomorrow and the Floating Sauna is nearly fully booked but still avails all weekend for the different spaces … we want this to be contrast therapy nirvana but also a much needed wellness space for the Isle of Wight and is out first stab at that. Look out for a weekly schedule of everything from soundbaths and thermal seated yoga (in a sauna) to Shamanic Kundalini, meditation and massage … get ready to get Slomo 👌
As we head into slightly chillier climes our two Lithuanian wood fired beauties are stoked up every weekend by our sauna don @niktorrens … what Nik with his Finnish heritage doesn’t know about sauna’s isn’t worth knowing and we really recommend the intimate lantern lit Friday Night Float and Saturday Night Sweat sessions if you want to treat yourself at the weekend and just escape for 2 or 3 hours … currently booking up til Christmas and we can take private and group bookings of up to 16 #slomo #christchurch
Me and Josie have spent a year planning the Slomo floating sauna with our mates and we’re so happy with the result and seeing the first customers using the sauna, lake, cold plunge and daybeds to chill out on. We’re not stopping there though as we open the main @tapnellfarm Slomo sauna set up right next to the floating sauna this Thursday with capacity for 14 and even more options to jump in and out of… if you’re on the Isle of Wight this winter make sure you come by as we’re creating a whole wellness world with yoga, meditation and soundbath sessions upcoming … and finally more big news incoming this week too if you’re living in London #slomo
30 years ago I learnt to meditate as a spritely 20 year old juggling full on raving, DJing and my inward practice … fast forward to 5 years ago and I graduated as a meditation teacher of the @1giantmind technique… both of these events have been life changing beyond measure and made my life so much more meaningful and very probably less stressful… I’ve had my fair share of nuttiness and battles thrown at me over the years and always seem to come through it feeling stronger with more clarity and an insightful understanding of how ‘life works’ which seems to arise from having a regular twice daily practice.. I could fill a book with all the positives of learning this technique and I actually don’t teach too many courses but as the last one sold out with a waiting list I’m doing a final fling for 2024 on the evenings of Weds 20, Thursday 21 and Friday 22 6-730pm.. Gis a tinkle (DM) if you’d like to learn more and ill leave you with some words on how two of last months pupils felt about it

I attended Rob’s meditation course after trying various other forms over the years and being somewhat ADHD have struggled to stick with anything regularly. This very simple way of meditation however seems to have stuck with me and 2 weeks on I can honestly say I have been enjoying the many benefits of this daily practice. Thank you Rob for introducing this little bit of calm into my life.
CHARLOTTE
For me the course was a game-changer. I needed a way of finding some calm in the madness, a way of reconnecting with myself - regular and deep time-out for me. This course has given me a new life skill, a daily practice, a new habit. It has taught me to zoom out, be my own witness and focus on Being. I’m so grateful.
Half term dragging on? Join our family Friday Float at our Christchurch site this week from 4-8pm where all ages are welcome. If you’ve never saunaed with your kids it’s a lovely screen free activity and with our grassy riverbank site, seating and cold plunges the kids don’t need to be in the saunas for long. If you’re looking at this and thinking taking kids into a sauna is irresponsible go to Scandinavia where it’s a weekly family date and has been for time. We recommend 3-5 minutes at a cooler 60 degree heat (which we run one of our saunas at) for smaller kids and we’d really recommend age 6 and over and up to 15 minutes to mid-teen level and we always have a sauna master on hand to advise… as a family we enjoy weekly sauna seshs with our kids from 8 to 18 years old and they absolutely love just having mum and dad to themselves where we can’t be on WhatsApp or checking our insta likes 🤣 … thanks to our mate @benjamin.a.cooke and his lovely kids Uffa and Eti for letting us use this pic ..float on ❤️

There are incredible, beautiful opportunities out there.’ @juergentellerstudio … bravo to Candice and the girls for braving the cold water, pushing it along when things get a bit challenging and really getting that contrast therapy buzz… when’s your next date with the 🔥 and 🧊? #slomo
