Day Yoga Retreat

Our new  day yoga retreats are split into two sessions:

Morning Session: XL Yoga Class

This extra long yoga class includes breath work, meditation, and intention setting, followed by a Vinyasa Flow session. You’ll be provided with several variations, ensuring that everyone has the appropriate choice, regardless of their level or ability. We’ll finish with powerful breathing, leading directly into relaxation.

Afternoon Session: Myofascial /Yin Nidra

The afternoon session start with Myofascial Release using therapy balls, followed  Yin Yoga. The final 30 minutes will be a guided Yoga Nidra, helping us transition our awareness from the external world to our inner selves, bringing about deep relaxation and a sense of peace.

Pricing

You can book the whole day for £60 or individual sessions for £30. (Subject to availability)

Who Should Attend

Both sessions are suitable for all levels and abilities.

This is also an excellent opportunity for athletes, as there will be plenty of tips on gaining flexibility through the use of therapy balls, it is also great for anyone looking to reconnect with itself. 

What to Bring

All equipment will be provided, but for hygiene reasons I recommend bringing your own therapy balls, mat, cozy blanket and thick socks.

Please bring something veggie to share for lunch. Salad and hummus will be supplied as well as hot drinks.

Yin Nidra

Carve Out Some ‘ME TIME’

Yin Nidra unites two of the most powerful relaxation techniques:

• Yin – a grounding, deep relaxation practice
• Yoga Nidra – the art of conscious sleep

These sessions are specifically designed to bring you into a state of complete relaxation.

What to Expect

In Yin Yoga, asanas (poses) are held for extended periods, applying moderate stress to the connective tissue in the body, aiming of improving flexibility. It encourages you to slow down, stay still, and be fully present.

Yoga Nidra involves moving from consciousness while awake to dreaming and then to not-dreaming while remaining awake, going past the unconscious to the conscious.

This unique combination of Yin and Nidra allows for deep relaxation, both in mind and body. You’ll leave feeling as though you’ve had a massage, with increased awareness, and equipped to face your thoughts one breath at a time.

Yin Nidra is an ideal counterbalance to stress and stress-related conditions.

During these sessions, I will also offer Reiki to every participant and share empowering stories, reminding you of your inner strength and ability to face the world when you stand in your own power!

Focus

The focus of Yin Nidra is to:

•  Increasing circulation in the joints
•  Gain flexibility on the outside
•  Build strenght on the inside
• Enter a state of deep relaxation

What to Bring

You may wish to bring:

• Blankets
• Blocks and bolsters
• Extra layers of clothing

Unlike other forms of yoga, Yin Yoga (and therefore Yin Nidra) does not generate internal heat. You may find yourself feeling cold after the session, so we recommend coming prepared with multiple layers of clothing.
