We enjoy our Yoga Spa Day at Park Farm Hotel, a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! This blissful retreat is set in 200 acres of idyllic countryside, a few miles south of Norwich. The perfect spot to relax and unwind for the day…

In the morning I guide us through a variety of Yoga styles to help lay the foundations and deepen our Yoga practice. Starting with fun dynamic Vinyasa Yoga flows that enable us to connect movement with the breath. Creating space for us all to have our own experience and explore our awareness. I enjoy supporting each student on their journey with variations and adaptations for injuries, health conditions and physical limitations. Using the elements from Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda to aid in restoring the body safely and creating deep relaxation and harmony.

We play with Restorative Hatha Yoga and Guided Mindfulness Meditation to explore the 8 limbs of yoga; the practices and observations, postures, breathing, withdrawal of the senses, focusing, meditation and oneness. Sessions incorporate Binds where we will exercise opening, releasing and relaxing in postures longer to feel the benefits. the body. During Yin and Yoga Nidra sessions we explore Mudras; playing with hand positions and their symbolic meanings. Also Bandhas (stomach, chin and root locks) to allow us to practice controlling and directing our energy in gestures to help visualise and channel calming energy. Finally practicing mantras: repeating affirmations to focus us and increase our sensitivity and alertness.

Our Creative Workshop includes Journaling into Moonology and Astrology using NLP Coaching to intentionally raise our vibrations and enable us to share what we are grateful for in the present, lessons learnt in the past and manifest for the future. We have the opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us, see feelings, thoughts and patterns that have been holding us back in order to change and break old habits stories. Making space to focus our intention on new dreams and what we want to create and invite in, now and for the year ahead.

Together we hold and share the space, allowing the deep, clearing, cleansing, purifying power of retreating to transform us all! Then finishing our morning with warming nourishing seasonal lunch that can be adapted to suit any dietary requirements with a selection of teas, coffee and refreshments available throughout. Bliss!
