Hot stone massage uses heated basalt stones, a volcanic rock that is dense, smooth and naturally good at holding heat. The warmed stones are used alongside the hands during the treatment. The warmth increases blood flow to the area and allows the muscles to relax.

The pace is slow and the treatment is quiet rather than energising.
At Sanctuary, hot stone massage is the foundation of both signature treatments. Sanctuary Restore is a focused 80 minute upper body treatment with heated basalt stones on the back, neck and shoulders, then head and scalp massage. The Sanctuary Experience is our signature treatment, around two and a half hours of full body hot stone massage including the soles of the feet, followed by a restorative facial and neck, head and scalp massage to finish.
Sanctuary by Run Fit Fordingbridge is a private wellbeing space for women in Breamore, near Fordingbridge, on the edge of the New Forest.
One client, one therapist. No shared spaces, no small talk required.

Between the sunshine and half‑term, most people have been moving more than they realise. Gardening, days out, carrying bags, crouching, lifting - it all adds up.

PureStretch is such a good way to prevent feeling so achy and be able to move more freely on a day to day basis, and feel more comfortable in your body again.

Meet Lisa

Lisa came to Pilates when she had her children. Like so many women, her body had changed and she was looking for something that felt right. What she found was something she hadn't expected: not just a form of exercise, but a way of moving with real intention, understanding her body, and feeling stronger from the inside out. She loved it enough to train as an instructor, not because it seemed like a logical career step, but because she wanted to share what it had done for her. That is exactly what she brings to Pilates here at the studio in Fordingbridge.

The class is listed as intermediate, but that word can be misleading. It is not about difficulty. It is about already having some understanding of how to connect to your core and engage it properly before you move. When you get that right, everything changes. Your posture improves, your movements become more controlled, and your body starts to feel more capable in everyday life, not just during the session itself.

If you have done a little bit of Pilates before, or you have been curious about it and want to experience it properly in a small group where you are genuinely coached, you can find out more and buy taster classes at https://www.runfitfordingbridge.co.uk/book-online

I am so pleased to let you all know that Run Fit Fordingbridge has been shortlisted as a finalist for Independent Business of the Year in the 2026 Business Awards . It's really gratifying to be recognised alongside so many other fabulous independent Fordingbridge businesses.

Thanks to you all, what we've built is more than a fitness studio.

It's small group training, run coaching, sports massage and therapy, with a community who turn up for themselves and for each other.

To everyone who trusts us with their training, massage and wellbeing, you help us make this place what it is. Thank you.

We all have mental health, and it's just as important to look after it as it is our physical health. But I truly believe that because it's a less visible aspect of our wellbeing, it's something we often don't give a lot of intentional support.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, my blog post is all about practical, research backed things that genuinely help. Whether you are not feeling at your best right now, or simply want to find some simple things you can do to keep you feeling well, I think you will find it helpful.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and this year's theme is Take Action — for yourself, for someone else, for all of us.

Sometimes the most powerful action you can take is for someone else. The woman in your life who keeps everything moving for everyone around her and rarely stops for herself. The one who would never book this for herself but absolutely should.

A Sanctuary gift voucher is a simple way to take action for her. High quality therapeutic treatment, genuine peace and quiet, and time that is entirely hers. No shared spaces, no small talk, no rushing. Just proper rest.

Gift vouchers are available to buy online and can be used for the Sanctuary Experience or Sanctuary Restore.

Taking action doesn’t have to be big or dramatic.

A class, a walk, a stretch, a chat before or after a session. Small moments of connection can make a real difference to how we feel.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and this year's theme is Take Action — for yourself, for someone else, for all of us.

Taking action looks different for everyone. Sometimes it's a conversation. Sometimes it's asking for help. And sometimes it's simply giving yourself permission to stop for a while — to rest properly, to be looked after.

Sanctuary is a private wellbeing space for women in Breamore, near Fordingbridge. Restorative treatments for body and mind, in a space that asks nothing of you except that you show up.
