Mana & Wak
Website design & development.
When Toby Gillingham approached me to create a website for his yoga retreat centre, I knew this wouldn't be your typical wellness website. Mana & Wak needed something that captured the raw, spiritual energy of their practice while keeping a modern booking system effortless.

Project Overview
I created an atmospheric website that merges ancient spiritual aesthetics with modern functionality.
The design features stark typography and ritualistic imagery against clean white space, creating a unique visual journey that reflects Mana & Wak's transformative approach to yoga. The site seamlessly integrates booking systems for daily classes, retreats and their boutique ashram hotel experience, while maintaining the mysterious, compelling atmosphere that sets them apart.
Key features include an events calendar, class booking system and partner retreat hosting information — all wrapped in a design that feels more like an ancient manuscript than a typical wellness website.
The Solution
A bold, ritualistic design wrapped around a booking system that just works.
Atmospheric Design
Ancient spiritual aesthetics merged with modern functionality — closer to a manuscript than a wellness site.
Bold Typography
Stark type and ritualistic imagery against clean white space create a distinctive visual journey.
Class Booking
Daily classes are bookable in a few taps without breaking the mood of the site.
Retreats & Ashram Stays
Retreats and the boutique ashram hotel experience each get their own booking path.
Events Calendar
An events calendar plus partner retreat hosting information keeps the schedule live.
Key Takeaways
Character can convert
Breaking category convention made the brand memorable without hurting usability.
Bookings come first
However bold the design, the booking journey has to stay effortless.
Design to the practice
The site reflects how the retreat actually feels, not a generic wellness template.
