Early Spring Day Retreat - £95

About the workshop

Welcoming the season of new growth and rest at Imbolc As the winter season lingers and we turn into lighter days we recognise this time of Imbolc. The ancient Celtic celebration of nurture and growth. Through our yoga practice and meditation we will honour this time of year and movement of the cycle of nature and our environment. This time of new growth and new beginnings and how that might shape us, with an emphasis on energising, nurturing and rest. Practising so close to nature in the yurt creates a deeper connection to our elemental selves in our yoga practice, a deeper sense of grounding. We will start the morning with an uplifting, cleansing and energising yoga practice leading into a guided meditation. Then a delicious healthy nourishing lunch of local seasonal foods, a walk around the wilderness of Knepp in the afternoon followed by a deeply restful restorative practice and a Sound bath with Lois Richards, to really take us into that calm, deep nurturing space, to reset and revitalise our body, mind and spirit. There will be lots of lovely healthy teas and warm berry toddies, creating a day of healthy self care through the all senses. This day retreat is open to all levels and experiences, so whether you are adept yogi or a beginner, or recovering your strength, come and spend a deeply restful day at the Yoga Garden, guided through your practice of self reflection and sowing seeds of good intention for the new year ahead.
