Friday 28th-30th October 2022 | Quaker Barns |

We enjoy escaping to the beautiful luxurious Quaker Barns for our retreat weekends of Yoga, Mindfulness and more! Staying in the unique, light, spacious and tranquil Barn and feeling at home in the rural countryside. I guide us through a variety of Yoga styles to help lay the foundations and deepen your Yoga practice...

Starting with fun dynamic Vinyasa Yoga flows that enable you to connect movement with the breath. We create space for us all to have our own experience and explore our awareness. Each student supported 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. With Restorative Hatha Yoga and Guided Mindfulness Meditation we will explore the 8 limbs of yoga; the practices and observations, postures, breathing, withdrawal of the senses, focusing, meditation and oneness. Sessions will incorporate Binds where we will exercise opening, releasing and relaxing in postures longer to feel the benefits. Also Bandhas (stomach, chin and root locks) to allow us to practice controlling and directing our energy in the body. During Yin and Yoga Nidra sessions we explore Mudras; playing with hand gestures to help visualise and channel calming energy. Finally practicing mantras: repeating affirmations to focus us and increase our sensitivity and alertness. With optional Creative Workshops such as Journaling, Vision Boarding, Moonology Mandalas, Shamanic Fire Medicine Ceremonies, Tarot, Astrology and Soundbaths. These Creative Workshops intentionally raise our vibrations, enable us to share what we are grateful for in the present, lessons learnt in the past and manifest for the future. We can 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 and 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 will hold and share the space, allowing the deep, clearing, cleansing, purifying power of retreating to transform us all!

I offer Complementary Treatments throughout the retreat tailored to your individual requirements. Deep Tissue, Relaxation Massage, Reflexology and Reiki. Personalised 1:1 Yoga Sessions sharing elements of Ayurveda, the Indian health system to create your own yoga practice to take home with you. Also Hypnotherapy & NLP Coaching Sessions, Tarot & Astrology Consultations and Crystal & Sound Healing. All meals are included and can be adapted to suit your dietary requirements with a selection of teas, coffee and refreshments available anytime throughout the weekend.
