This full-day retreat will begin with welcome warming tea and a settling meditation to ground and become present, to set intentions and recognise where we are at this time. We’ll move slowly into a soft flowing yoga practice to gently open the body and awaken subtle energies and we’ll complete the morning with a kirtan session. Kirtan is the yoga of sound and a form of meditation that effortlessly quietens the mind and opens the heart to bring us into a state of calmness, bliss, joy and connection.
We’ll then enjoy a homemade yummy lunch before heading out to the meadows and woodland outside for mindful walking (barefoot optional!). Once we’d had our fill of Nature, we’ll journey back to the comfort of the yurt to enjoy a deeply nourishing yin and restorative yoga session followed by a powerful yoga nidra (lying down meditation). To top off the day we will close with meditation and pranayama as well as reflections over tea and sweet treats.
Absolutely no experience necessary, just an open mind and a love of Nature!
