​

Vinyasa yoga, is a style of yoga which links movement with breath. It is excellent for students who want to flow between postures (almost in a meditative way) and experience deep relaxation after class.

Have you heard the expression yin and yang? Our morning practices will be ‘yang’; active and dynamic, while our evening practices will be ’yin’; passive and slow, to rebalance ourselves physically and energetically.

As humans, our personality will naturally be drawn to one type of practice or way of life, so this retreat will give you that moment of pause to explore another way of being - both on and off the mat.

MORNING PRACTICE

Morning practice will be a dynamic vinyasa flow, focusing on asana alignment and technique … can you think of a better way to start the day than bringing movement into the body?  Depending on how the class flows, we may take the time to break down one or two postures more deeply in a workshop style class, or just continue exploring and building our strength and flexibility.

EVENING PRACTICE

Evening practice will be deeply nourishing, and peaceful… a slower and more mindful practice. We’ll take the time to surrender into postures, so you can be truly present with yourself.

During shavasana (relaxation) and the special one hour yoga nidra and sound healing workshop, you will be bathed with the healing sounds of Tibetan singing bowls, and gongs, which is an amazing experience! On the most basic level, sound healing brings about a deep state of relaxation, allowing your unconscious to process and heal. You will be sure to sleep soundly afterwards!

“So much wisdom exists within the body. We often come to class with the ambition of accomplishing something physical and forget that if we let go of any ambition we can create space for a more significant unfolding. The intention is to work through self-limiting habitual patterns and shift to place of more tolerance and acceptance."
