What you’ll practice:

• Start with a Breath – It’s in the stillness of our meditation practice that our breath connects us to our body, mind and spirit. Slow deep breathing allows the body to relax as you gently exhale, simple instructions, intended to slow down the heart rate, but what you may not realise is that these slow deep breaths, especially the exhalation, signal to the body that it’s in a state of calm. It can now rest and digest, tend and befriend.
• Gentle Yoga – will be slow, smooth and steady – grounding on our foundation – to create stability by connecting to the earth.
• Guided Mindfulness practices – an opportunity to experience how mindfulness can help calm the breath and heal the mind and body.
• Yoga Nidra – A deep, healing relaxation for both the body and mind, allowing our nervous system to do it’s job of maintaining balance – ‘rest & digest’.

Going on a retreat is a great way to change perspective or kickstart a new habit – whether you’re working too hard, dealing with stress, or simply need some time to pause from the pressure of everyday life – this short retreat will give you time to switch off your phone and give yourself a good dose of essential self-care.

The Retreat is perfect for beginners and those with a little more experience. It’s a day to meet up with old friends and mix with like-minded people. So simply bring your mat, perhaps a blanket, and any other props that will allow you to stay comfortable. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about how mindfulness can help manage anxiety, stress, insomnia or illness.
