Description

 

About the Retreat

A wonderful opportunity to take time out at the end of the year, this retreat provides a nurturing and healing environment, giving you time and space to unwind and focus on yourself and your yoga practice.

This retreat is open to everyone, offering a solid foundation for newer students beginning yoga, and refinement and depth to students with an established practice.

Twice daily yoga sessions will form the heart of the retreat, and you will instantly feel at ease in the fun and uplifting classes. Daily classes will be fully instructed as we work together intelligently with the body, to guide you through Ashtanga Vinyasa and Pranayama (Controlled Breathing), with the option of Mysore (self practice) later in the week. Along with clear and detailed instruction, the personalized teaching approach will support your individual needs.  The afternoon sessions will allow time for discussion, Q&A and a relaxing restorative yoga class to close the day.

There will also be plenty of free time to take advantage of the healing spa & wellness treatments or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings and relax by the pool.

A perfect way to take some breathing space at the end the year, leaving you relaxed, clear and present.

Testimonials

Thanks for a great retreat- I really enjoyed it! I left feeling I could achieve anything ! Thanks,

∼ Adelina 

Alison & Paul, just wanted to say thank you for helping me along this journey.  Yoga has changed my life! Thank You! Thanks again,

∼ Jamieson 

I wanted to send you a note to let you know how much I enjoy coming to your classes. You make it so easy and enjoyable. I never feel like I can’t do it or like I need to look, act or be a certain way. I feel good when I am at yoga. Thank you for that. I really enjoy the amazing quotes that you read too!

All the best,

∼ CD 

My poor stiff body has had 30 years of hard court sport, plus all that sitting at a desk etc so needs some TLC! Thanks for your words of encouragement. I enjoyed your retreat and I am grateful for your patience and careful explanation of the techniques. Cheers,

∼ D

I love coming to your classes, you are such a positive teachers who know how to challenge me in a way that is safe for my body. The atmosphere in class is always positive and non-judgemental, the instructions are so clear I know my body is being looked after.  When I first came to class I had almost no experience of Yoga.  You both made me feel so welcome and worked with where I was at, never making me feel stupid or unco-ordinated. Even as a beginner I got so much out of the first class and went away feeling positive and energised.  That feeling has continued over a year of classes that I still get that positive feeling and I have improved in my body and my mind… and definitely my spirit.   Thank you guys for guiding me through my discovery of yoga.  I feel so good after class and my flexibility, fitness and physical/mental wellbeing have all improved so much.

∼ Alex

I have been to a variety of yoga retreats in the last ten years and have found your retreats to be better balanced than others.  The instruction is not intimidating, but at the end of a session I feel that I have had a good workout.  I found the mix in your retreat a great way to relax and destress the mind.
