Mind, Body & Spirit Benefits from attending the Retreat:
We welcome you for a Yoga Weekend Retreat to learn simple pleasures, yogic tools and self-care rituals that you can apply to your life in a meaningful and lasting way.
Our take-aways:
Yoga foundations: The 8 Limbs of Yoga explained - The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali refers to 8 limbs of yoga, each of which offers guidance on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. Learn about each one and how to incorporate them into your practice.
Asanas: Learn Asanas, or Yoga poses that support revitalizing our Joy.
To embody these experiences we need to be well grounded in our Root Chakra. Located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor, and the first three vertebrae, the root chakra is responsible for your sense of safety and security on this earthly journey.
Pranayama Breathing: Simple Breathing exercise with Mudras (hand gestures) can bring a sense of wholeness and decrease anxiety levels. A take home practice will be provided.
Yoga Nidra and Meditation: connecting with your inner wisdom with a regular Yoga Nidra meditation practice can aid in managing anxiety, promoting mindfulness and instilling a deep sense of calm within you.
Gratitude: How to find simple joys by developing a gratitude practice.
INTENTION, SPACE and TIME to embody your experience
JOY, RENEWAL and INSPIRATION from your yoga practice
