Holistic Yoga – Day Retreat 
Cultivating Peace – Finding Your Centre

 

Next Retreat: Saturday 2nd December 2023
12:00pm – 5:30pm

These day retreats offer an affordable, convenient way to support your inner being and reconnect to the wisdom within you.  
Unwinding the deeply-held tensions and tendencies (samskara) that we hold in our being begins a process of fundamental and transformative change. 
When we take the time to unwind tension before we explore ways of developing strength, we can harness the strength that was locked up in stuck stress to better support ourselves at a deeper level.
This longer immersion in a broader range of yoga practices will enable you to reconnect with your inner strength, your inner truth. 
This is an invitation to drop into this deeper nourishing practice of yoga, I would love to welcome you!

Whole Yoga for the Whole Person 

In the one-day retreats, we’ll work with the Eight Limbs of Yoga, to rebalance the Five Layers (panchamayakosha) of our embodied selves. Aspects of yoga philosophy will be gently woven into the movement practices. 
The movement is suitable for everyone, beginners, intermediate and those with aches, pains or movement restrictions, are all welcome. Individual adaptations are provided so you can find your own expression of the poses that feels just right for you. 
You might feel inspired to come with a friend, partner or family member who might not have a regular yoga or movement practice.
