Retreat
Sound & Silence: Winter’s Rest
When you align your life and habits with the season, your entire being returns to harmony. Winter is not a season to fear or resist, rather it is the body’s most powerful time of regeneration.
This winter-themed retreat day weaves together gentle yoga, healing chant and guided meditation to lead us into easeful stillness – in tune with the winter solstice. Rest. Restore. Be.
Also inspired by Ayurveda (the sister science to yoga), some guidance will also be offered to help you support your system through the winter (kapha) months.
We are mammals. Not designed to keep “going-going-going” 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year…allow this day to remind your body, mind and heart how to slow down and be in tune with the season.
Open to all – no previous experience required. You will need a yoga mat, light weight blanket and journal/pen. A light, warming lunch is included.
