5 day Yoga and Wellbeing Course

About the Course:

This course is for those who have a desire & curiosity to find out  how Yoga can become a way of life, more than something you ‘do’ once a week. We will explore how you can take yoga off your mat and make it part of your everyday. Learning to live with more resilience, compassion  and connection to life.  

This year we are offering the course as 3 or 5 days, join us for the whole course or come along for 3 days. If you can we encourage you to attend all the days to get the most out of it.

Course structure

This course offers a Sunday style retreat days - come along to move, learn, be still and grow.

On this course we will explore;

Breath work - how to breathe effectively - to manage stress, anxiety and mood. How different practices influence our state - leading to greater awareness and choice.

Movement - embrace your body and learn how to work with it rather than against it both on and off your mat. Yoga is so much more than shapes on mats!

Yoga philosophy - Patanjali's yoga sutras - learn the art of compassion, patience, acceptance, gratitude - qualities at the heart of yoga.

Cultivating awareness - Understand the benefits of meditation, mindfulness, concentration, mantra. Find a practice that works for you.

Stillness - whether you love to be still or find it a challenge, we will explore a range of practices to explore being.

A Typical Sunday;

Mornings - will be spent experiencing yoga asana, mindfulness, Kriyas (cleansing practices) and breath work.

Afternoons - dedicated to group work, exploring a variety of mind body approaches including: yoga philosophy, neuroscience, physiology, positive psychology, life coaching, family constellations, Internal family systems.

“I would definitely recommend this course, it covered a wide breadth of practices for self awareness and self-care, balance and the ability to start your own self practice of Yoga with confidence. I loved learning the breath work. This has brought more peace into body and my life. We were given simple yet powerful tools for self awareness, like observing thought patterns and tools for building resilience.”
