# Event Details - **Event Name**: Winter Re-TREAT: A Restorative Mini Retreat for Mind, Body & Nervous System - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: WINTER RE-TREAT: A RESTORATIVE MINI RETREAT FOR MIND, BODY & NERVOUS SYSTEM Suitable for all levels, no prior yoga experience required As the pace of life continues to accelerate, the season of winter offers us a natural invitation to slow down, turn inward, and rest. Join Felicity for Winter Re-TREAT, a nourishing two-hour mini retreat designed to support deep relaxation, mindfulness, and nervous system restoration. This gentle and supportive workshop will guide you through a carefully curated sequence of practices to help you unwind and reconnect with yourself. We will begin with calming breathwork and soft movement before exploring a unique chocolate mindfulness meditation, adapted from practices used in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Through this sensory experience, you'll be invited to slow down, engage your senses, and meet the joy and bliss of the present moment. From there, we move into a deeply restorative, yin-inspired yoga practice featuring long-held, fully supported postures designed to encourage physical release and relaxation. Using bolsters, blankets, blocks, and other props, you'll be guided into comfort and ease, allowing the body and mind to settle. To close the afternoon, you will create your own cozy "rest nest" and be guided through an extended Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) meditation. This profoundly restful practice combines body awareness, guided imagery, and deep relaxation techniques to access a state between wakefulness and sleep. Many people leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and deeply restored. What You will Experience: * Gentle breathwork and mindful movement * A guided chocolate meditation inspired by MBSR practices * Approximately one hour of restorative/yin-style yoga supported with props * A 30–40 minute Yoga Nidra meditation * A peaceful, trauma-sensitive environment designed to support rest and relaxation Who Is This For? This workshop is for anyone seeking a pause from the busyness of daily life, wanting to explore mindfulness, deepen their meditation practice, or simply enjoy an afternoon of nourishing rest and a tasty treat. Whether you are completely new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, you will be supported with options throughout the session. And yes, it's also perfect for chocolate lovers. What to Bring: * Water bottle * Comfortable layered clothing suitable for gentle movement and relaxation Please note in states of deep relaxation your body temperature can reduce significantly, therefore, it’s important to bring warm layers that you can take off and put back on easily. * Optional: socks, eye pillow, and any favourite yoga props *We have limited yoga mats available to use at the studio, however, where possible we would recommend bringing your own. *Bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps will be available, though you're welcome to bring your own.
