Our friendship started when Elissa came to one of Em’s yoga classes. We soon went on our first ‘date’ - a cold water dip! We were hooked from that moment on.
The feeling we get in the water is so similar to the calm and presence we find on our yoga mats. We wanted to create a welcoming space to encourage more women to feel that true sense of calm and belonging regularly.
At Dawn was born from our love of the sea, yoga, breathwork, and community, and we’re so excited to share it with you.
Our Ethos
At Dawn is built on it’s core value of connection. We are committed to offering events, retreats, and products that provide opportunities for true meaningful connection: to nature, to each other, and with ourselves.
We care about people and the planet above all else, which is why we partner with sustainably-conscious, local, ethical businesses for our events and retreats.
Our core values are: community, connection, and nature - and we bring these through in all our work as they are so close to our hearts, as individuals and as a business.
