Restorative Yoga Half-Day Retreat - Earth Element for Ease, Balance and Abundance

At this time of transition between summer and autumn, come together with like-minded rest-seekers to experience the magic of a whole morning of practice.

We will concern ourselves with grounding, softening and paying attention to our body sensations and breath. I am really looking forward to having space and time together. There will be no rushing. There will be time to go off plan and respond to what might emerge.

The gifts of a morning of practice can be:

• A chance to soften and practise relaxation
• Time out from life to gain perspective, reflect and let go
• Reduced tension
• Clearer mind
• Going slowly, experiencing flow and stillness, becoming more tuned in to the waves of experience in the present moment
• An encounter with yourself and the group in a small, friendly and welcoming environment
• Practices of awareness and rest which you may wish to take with you into daily life

What to expect:

Opening and Closing Circles - A chance to share if you wish to. Your voice and your experience are so welcome.

Restorative Yoga - Nourishing yoga poses supported by props like blankets and bolsters. Settle in for a chance to reconnect with yourself and your place on this Earth.

Pranayama - Yoga breathing practices to find focus and balance. Noticing the inherent abundance gifted us through our breath.

Qigong forms - Flowing forms from qigong that help us find ease in transitions (seated and standing option)

Savasana with massage - Resting in corpse pose with the option to receive a nurturing neck, head and shoulder massage

Yoga Nidra - Guided journey of deep waking rest

Ways to connect to the Earth element, its gifts and shadows. Space held for all the feelings as we recognise our relationship to the Earth, our home and the environment.
