One Day Yoga Retreats
Monthly Sunday Yoga Retreats at Lauderdale House
Next Retreat: Sunday 3rd April 2022
Being on retreat enables you to take a deeper dive into yoga practices that a 1.5 hours class or even a 3 hour workshop can offer. It takes time to unravel the tension that builds up from our being in the world living our lives.
A Deep Dive into the Gentle Power of Breath – Yoga to Restore Health and Vitality
Retreat in Laid Back Style
Lauderdale House is set in the beautiful Waterlow Park, they are both public spaces. During the lunch break and after the retreat you’re invited to explore the surrounding areas and enjoy the nature. We will weave in some nature immersion practices to the retreat so we can learn from the Wisdom of Nature herself.
You are invited to bring your own lunch, or to visit the Lauderdale House cafe, which has a selection of salads, sandwiches and cakes.
In between classes there will be some opportunities for nature connection, and reflection. Although the park is a public space, there is space enough to find a quiet spot to contemplate whether walking or sitting quietly on the grass or a bench.
