with Louise Neicho
As we enter the new year we see that we have ahead of us another 365 days to begin again, to adjust our sails and ensure that we're on the right path for us.
This retreat will give you the time and space to be nurtured and supported so that you can reconnect to what is truly important to you.
All too often the busyness of life gets in the way of connecting to our deepest desires so this retreat will illuminate your path and generate the clarity and space to launch into 2024 feeling vibrant and alive.
Through yoga, mindfulness, breathwork and connections with nature, we will let go of what’s no longer needed within, create space in the mind and body and kick start our innate healing capacities.
Allow yourself to be held in a safe space to explore the wisdoms of the body, mind and Mother Nature to create greater calm, freedom and lasting happiness. As we learn to keep in harmony with the seasons, we naturally encourage a flow and ease to return.
No experience necessary, just a love of nature and readiness to journey inwards.
What you can expect:
This full-day retreat will begin with a welcome warming tea and a settling meditation to ground and become present, to set intentions and recognise where we are at this time. We’ll move slowly into a soft flowing yoga practice to gently open the body and awaken subtle energies and we’ll complete the morning with pranayama and yoga nidra, a powerful lying down meditation to bring us into a state of calmness, bliss, joy and connection.
We’ll then enjoy a nutritional plant-based lunch before heading out to the beautiful nearby woodland for mindful walking (barefoot optional!) and deep connections to nature . Once we’ve had our fill of nature, we’ll journey back to the comfort of the studio to enjoy a deeply nourishing yin and restorative yoga session followed by a another yoga nidra session. To top off the day we will close with meditation and pranayama as well as reflections.
