Retreat Information

Immerse yourself in a schedule of daily meditation, breathwork, morning vinyasa and evening yin yoga practice. Explore in depth yoga anatomy, alignment, energetic technique, adjustments and modifications in daily workshops detailing the anatomy of the breath, bandhas, forward folds, standing and balancing postures, twists, back bends and inversions.

Here we really put our practice under the microscope and ensure that what we are doing on the mat makes sense and is safe and effective for our body, mind and soul. Each student will also receive an optional private consultation to explore and highlight the key areas, postures and practices that suit their individual needs.

We come together as a family of kind, caring and supportive souls with a mutual endeavor to grow in understanding, acceptance and love. It is a pleasure to be able to offer both new and experienced yogis, a safe, solid and effective foundation to the practice of yoga.
