A core focused Pilates session came after, followed by a well deserved vegan lunch of Spinach and Chickpea curry, rice and naan bread.
In the afternoon, the group had a walk around the beautiful Fawsley Estate, via the stunning 13th century church and returned to The Granary for tea, protein shakes and vegan brownies.
