Description

The is a timely opportunity to recharge the spiritual batteries for the coming year ahead. This weekend retreat aims to give you the motivation, inspiration and aspiration to set your spiritual compass in the right direction for 2012.

The Yoga Immersion retreat is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with your inner journey and gain a new perspective. This is a beautiful occasion to discover and learn yogic techniques to help lead a more balanced and harmonious life.

The weekend will consist of sun salutations, hatha yoga classes, meditations, discourses, spiritual games and lots of free time to explore and relax in this natural paradise.

A specific theme of this weekend retreat is spiritual transformation in the 21st century. This retreat will focus on evolution on the spiritual path and how practitioners can embrace life in the modern world from a spiritual perspective. This will create a new vision and a new potential to experience the joy of life through the eyes of a yoga practitioner.

An additional theme of this weekend is to facilitate the connection between individuals from all backgrounds who share the common goal of inner peace and a spiritual lifestyle. For this reason a focus will be on the bonding and sharing of experiences.

Connect with other like-minded individuals and engage with a community that has a fresh, exciting perspective of the emerging of a new consciousness.

The type of yoga we practice focuses on the activation of the 7 chakras and is both gentle and revitalising. This retreat is suitable for all levels and no previous experience in yoga is necessary.

The weekend will also feature a nutritious vegetarian menu.
