Yoga and Meditation Retreat / May 24th – 26th

About the retreat: 

Bringing together the practices of yoga and meditation this weekend will aim to help participants to reconnect with the simplicity of being and the natural flow of life.

The yoga sessions will concentrate on hatha yoga, kundalini yoga and yin yoga, and will help us to sensitively and compassionately return to the body and breath/prana.

The meditation practice will be from the sammatha-vipassana tradition and we will use sitting and walking practices, both indoors and outdoors, to help cultivate an inner gentleness and kindness that can flow to ourselves and others.

Yoga will be led by Eva Fransen, meditation by Stephen Bushell.
