About Us
Jo has practiced yoga for over two decades - this personal pursuit of yoga has taken her on many adventures across the world to numerous yoga retreats and to study with many renowned teachers. She has a particular passion for bringing ancient yogic philosophy to life, making it relevant to our everyday challenges, both on and off the mat.  Jo has a warm and calming nature and her yoga sessions are friendly, open and accessible to all. Many students return to Jo’s classes again and again, due to her depth of knowledge and the sense of safety and trust she creates.

Jane loves to weave soothing, meditative and mindful movement throughout her classes, which serves to nourish and calm our so often overworked nervous systems. With a real emphasis on kindness and compassion, Jane aims to create a space for you to pause from the busyness of modern life, move inwards and listen to your own deep inner wisdom.  Jane loves any excuse to be out in nature, whether it’s walking, gardening, camping, wild swimming or picnicking. Combining yoga and nature is her idea of a little slice of heaven :-)

A little more about Wise, Wild, & Well...

Wise, Wild, and Well arose from a close friendship between myself & Jane Rourke (YogaMagic) & was born during the many long walks and chats that kept us sane during lockdown. As the world started to open up, we hoped to be able to bring like-minded women together to enjoy yoga, nature, and connection in a supportive and nurturing community.
Our values are demonstrated in our name:
Wise: to show our deep trust in feminine intuition and wisdom
Wild: to indicate our passion for nature and the environment
Well: to support our health through yoga and meditation
As we build our community locally, and recognise how privileged we are, our thoughts go to empowering others. Wise, Wild and Well supports Hella, a Chippenham based mental health and wellbeing project for women.

Our Cancellation Policy

Once you book your place, we stop trying to sell that place (and may even turn others away).  We start investing our time in the event and you - sorting out all the paperwork, planning and prepping the wonderful plant based food, thinking about: the theme of the event; the timings; the yoga; even whether we need to invest in more props; and also the little details to make the event as special as we can for you.  We have also likely invested substantially in the venue hire.  This is why, if you cancel, we are unable to provide a refund except as below:
 
When your payment is secured by deposit you can choose to cancel 90 days or more before the start date, and we will be more than happy to refund your payment (excluding the non refundable deposit). At this stage we still have time to try and fill the space. At less than 90 days before the event, payments are non-refundable, for any reason at all.
When your payment is made via a payment plan there are no refunds, at any point, under any circumstances. 
In both instances you are welcome to transfer your place to a friend, and we will try our hardest to resell your space via a waiting list.

Regrettably and rarely, there may be unforeseen circumstances (including Covid) that hinder, delay, or lead to cancellation of the event. This includes but is not limited to, severe weather, acts of terrorism, disease epidemics/pandemics, government actions, natural disasters, war, strikes, and failure of 3rd parties such as venues/caterers to provide their services.  In such circumstances we will seek to offer you an alternative date, but a refund will not be given.  We will also not be responsible for any other costs or damages you may incur as a consequence of the cancellation, such as travel costs. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance, which for a weekend in the UK is under £10. 

As you are aware Covid has hit so many small businesses hard. Yoga teachers are no exception and whilst we are sympathetic to Covid illness and isolation, we also need to make sure our little business survives.  As such, the terms above apply equally to Covid restrictions and isolation, as to all circumstances. 

If necessary, we reserve the right to send a substitute teacher if either Jo or Jane are prevented from teaching, due to unavoidable circumstances.
