The Centre of The Hills
Welcome to The Centre of the Hills. The Centre of the Hills (formerly known as The Wheel of Life Centre) has been a therapy centre for over 20 years.
I was excited to take over the management of the centre in June 2021 and coordinate the provision of a range of holistic therapies, groups, venue hire and training in this special corner of the world. The centre is nestled in the Malvern Hills, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Please feel free to contact me to enquire about therapies, training, or venue hire. We are perfectly placed for corporate away day sessions or corporate meetings with the Malvern Hills a stone’s throw away. We can provide space and catering for mini conferences, meetings or hire out the entire venue for a child’s birthday party or special family gathering.
In our current climate, emotional support and connection is more important than ever. All our talking therapists work online as well as face-to-face in clinic. All our therapists are highly regulated and accredited by appropriate training bodies, hold insurance and Disclosure and Barring Service Certification (where appropriate Enhanced). We are always pleased to hear from fellow therapists, if you feel that your skill set would complement the Therapies Team please do get in touch. Please note that therapies and group attendance are by appointment only.
With warm wishes

range of Therapies available
Adult Yoga
Scaravelli inspired Yoga – The focus of this Yoga is healing the spine through movement, breath and grounding. It involves postures, breathing techniques, relaxation and meditation. Each week a varying sequence of movement will take place with a range of breath work and often relaxation at the end of the session. Each week the class is different, this work is gentle but equally, deeply strengthening. If you have practiced yoga before you will recognize many of the poses and practices. Research shows that Yoga can lead to improved health related quality of life and emotional wellbeing and can positively affect the anatomy of the brain.
Children's Yoga
This class focusses on breath work and movement to improve strength and flexibility and promote relaxation whilst also improving overall mental health and well-being. Research has shown that Yoga can support Children’s motor skills, behaviour and self-regulation skills, general mental health, attention span and memory. The research states that children “can adopt yoga as a powerful tool for themselves to minimize stress, as well as develop resilience to deal with it [stress]”. These are fun and engaging children’s classes. Age ranges may be split between tween/teens 12 years – 16 years and a younger children’s class.
Parent, Pregnancy and Baby Workshops
Zoe’s classes and retreats are relaxed, friendly and supportive. She has been teaching yoga for 9 years and offers Pregnancy Yoga, Postnatal Yoga, Hypnobirthing, Baby Massage, Women’s Yoga and Retreats.
