Where there is flow, there is connection.
Begin your journey into the practice of yoga or deepen your existing practice with Flow – A Yoga Journey. Whether you are brand new to the mat or have a strong yoga foundation and want some more specific guidance, this retreat is for you.
What we have found is that so many people miss out on the benefits of yoga as they believe they are not flexible enough or ‘can’t touch their toes’. But the practice of yoga is so much more than downward facing dog, it is a way of being that allows us to find a sense of much needed balance on a mind, body and soul level. It is a way to guide us into the present moment, and breath by breath, we allow ourselves to connect with our internal flow.
During this retreat we will guide you through the foundations of yoga, both on a practical and philosophical level, so that you will leave the weekend feeling inspired to establish your own daily practice. A focus on deep inner connection and understanding of the self that can be taken into your everyday life and a feeling of rejuvenation after a weekend spent connecting with yourself in nature.
