FLOW & FLOURISH
A PILATES AND FLORISTRY WORKSHOP
Flow & Flourish is a creative collaboration between myself and Jess founder of @fluoresse_. The essence of these workshops is to offer you a fully integrated experience combining Pilates movement and intentional floristry that is restorative, nourishing, and creative.
We launched the first Flow & Flourish workshop in Autumn 21, followed by Winter’s traditional wreath-making workshop. Our goal is to continue these workshops seasonally throughout the year.

Flow & Flourish - winter
What you can expect…
After a quick intro, you will start the workshop with an energising Pilates class led by Lauren Pool. You’ll be guided through poses and breath work aiming to focus the mind, engage with your body and end the session feeling more grounded. This class is suitable for all levels.
We will then break for a hearty candlelit supper. We cater from vegan and gluten-free, to full fat and sugar (we’ve got you covered) and washed down with botanical cordials and herbal teas.
Once rejuvenated Jess founder of Fluoresse will introduce you to ‘intentional floristry’. Many plants and flowers have hidden meanings, symbols, and botanical properties. Rather than creating a festive wreath based solely on the styling or aesthetic, Jess will teach you the origins behind wreath making and the meanings of certain foliages. As well as learning traditional wreath-making techniques, you will set your own personal intention with each sprig added.
Our aim is you leave feeling nourished, taking home with you a wreath for the festive season with your personal intentions woven into your creation.
We welcome all aged 16+, each workshop is limited to 12 spaces to ensure we create a personal experience and to meet covid safety regulations.
About the Hosts
Lauren is a Comprehensive Pilates Practitioner, based in Brighton, and founder of Movement with Lauren. Jess is a floral designer based in London. The pair met when they both worked in luxury fashion and shared a flat in Hackney. As coincidence would have it, both were diagnosed with cancer within six months, which led them to revaluate their lives and careers. Three years on, in remission and living life to the fullest, they ditched their stressful jobs and kickstarted their career changes.
Neither of them has looked back… much!
