About
This retreat welcomes yoga practitioners of all levels, beginners to seasoned yogis.
Our morning class will cover a wide range of yoga practices such as warmups, tendon awareness, stretches, twists, inversions, backbends, and balancing poses, followed by a relaxing, aroma therapy induced savasana (rest). We will also incorporate meditation and explore different types of breathwork, known as pranayama, in all classes, and its impact on our practice and overall well-being. Additionally, we will cleanse our bodies through a specially prepared diet and kriyas, and meditate on the beach at sunrise. This retreat aims to help us learn, deepen our practice, and gain a better understanding of what yoga means to us personally and how it assists us in our daily life.
In the afternoon, we will gather for smoothies and conversation in the cafe, followed by a gentle practice such as restorative yoga, guided or walking meditations, breath exploration, yoga nidra, dharma talks and/or soothing sound baths using Tibetan singing bowls.
Restorative yoga promotes relaxation on physical, mental, and emotional levels, allowing us to relearn the art of relaxation and develop self-soothing skills.
Meditation will be explored through different methods with tools to help us focus and quiet the mind. Breath exploration, or pranayama, involves regulating our breath to achieve different effects such as calming the mind, energizing the body, and supporting manifestation and visualization.
Sound baths provide an opportunity for introspection and inner peace as we immerse ourselves in the soothing sounds.
On the morning of the solstice, we’ll rise with the sun, meditate, and set intentions during this powerful moment. We’ll enjoy earths bountiful gifts during our brunch and dinner, and meditate as the sun sets, setting intentions and manifesting.
We will learn new things, deepen our practice, and gain a better understanding of the transformative aspects of yoga.
