With Bernie Lee
A day retreat filled with yoga, nature, delicious food and beautifully concluded with a sound bath.
This day retreat will be filled with:
We greet the morning with a mindfulness practice of sun salutation and build on the foundations of the physical practice. We follow on from there learning about alignment and the art of mindfulness.
We stop for a tasty and nutritional lunch from Mama G – the local house chef. And then, we have time for a walk exploring the surrounding landscapes at this historical location.
The afternoon session is about relaxing our body with a restorative yoga practice of deep relaxation techniques that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga before moving on to the sound bath. Martina Saorin uses Gongs and Himalayan bowls to bring the body back to its natural state of balance and harmony. Relax and let the sounds soothe your nervous system, quiet your mind, alleviate deeply held tension.
Through the sound bath you may experience a loss of body awareness and become so relaxed that you may even have dreams or feeling of elated happiness. You may even dose off which is perfectly fine, being conscious during a sounds bath is not essential. So sit back, lie down and just enjoy the vibrations of the gong as it instantly harmonizes your body’s vibrations, bringing you back into your natural balance by releasing stress caused by trauma, illness or lifestyle.
Emerge feeling a new sense of calm, serenity, refreshed and rejuvenated.
The retreat is kept small, hosting 20 guests maximum to make sure each guest can get plenty of personalised advice and attention
Appropriate for all levels.
