What To Expect:

A HALF DAY YOGA RETREAT SET IN THE STUNNING WOODLANDS OF UPPER SWANMORE. THIS retreat is calling you to step out of your normal patterns and reconnect to self. you will embark on a 4 stage process of connection, Reset and relaxation.

Yoga

Completely relax and integrate into your surroundings. We look to the forest to guide us into our own roots, to create stability and growth. This practice targets the lymphatic system, gently twisting of the spine and compressing abdominal organs to physically prompt toxin release. The slow meditative movement allows the nervous system to relax, the body to open and tension to release.

Sauna Experience

Step into the heat and physically purify your body. A sauna allows you to excrete bodily toxins, staying connected to the forest by watching it through the large glass window for an extra special immersive sauna experience.

`Breath into stillness`

We will breath the canopy. A silent, perfect exchange -inhaling resilience the trees give us, and exhaling what we no longer need to carry. There is a deepening that comes with this breathwork. Allow yourself to let go.

Meditation

We will sink into the stillness of the forest, allowing our minds to settle, falling deeper into the silence of the body and allowing any last residue of stress to leave.

Refreshment

Refreshments – A light breakfast of toast, croissants, tea and coffee will be available after our sauna session

is this retreat for you?

this is a retreat for anyone needing the space to relax. you do not need to be a student of yoga to come to this event. the retreat is suitable for both complete beginners and experienced yogi’s. no need to be flexible, everything in this day is suitable for most. Please note, there is a sauna included in this retreat, so I advise this part is not suitable for those with a heart condition or who are pregnant. the sauna is optional and can be skipped for an early breakfast.
