We’re Hannah and Mollie, two friends and mums raising five little ones under five when the idea of Elevate Retreats came to be.
Amid the beautiful whirlwind of motherhood, we discovered that yoga and the natural world weren’t simply hobbies for us, they were lifelines. Moments of stillness, spaciousness, and deep breath that reminded us of our own softness and strength.
From that need, Elevate Retreat's was born: an intimate sanctuary crafted with intention, where every detail invites you to slow down and be cared for.
Hannah brings over 18 years of dedicated yoga practice and teaching experience to her role as your retreat teacher and host. Her journey with yoga began as a personal source of strength and guidance, evolving into a
passion she now shares with others. After completing her first teacher training with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2015, Hannah deepened her expertise in 2017 with a 200-hour training in India, specialising in Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Aerial, and Meditation.
Residing in the serene mountain landscapes with her family, Hannah draws inspiration from nature to craft meaningful and transformative retreat experiences.
Her teaching focuses on blending dynamic flow and mindful practice to
help participants connect deeply with themselves. Hannah is honoured to
guide you through our retreat, creating a space for renewal, growth, and inspiration.
Mollie’s love for both cooking and the Alps began in 2012 when she worked as a chalet host in France. After many
seasons in the mountains, she and her partner Tom moved to St. Gervais les
Bains in 2019, where they spent two years lovingly renovating their dream
chalet. Since welcoming guests in 2022, Mollie
has delighted in hosting and preparing delicious, nourishing meals for
hundreds of visitors.
Now, she is thrilled to open her chalet to Elevate Retreats. Thoughtfully designed for
relaxation and connection, it’s the perfect place to escape, unwind, and fully immerse yourself in the retreat
experience. With her culinary knowledge and passion for nutrition, Mollie will craft
perfectly balanced meals to fuel and energise you throughout your stay while ensuring you are comfortable and content over the course of the retreat.
