The Autumn Equinox is a time of preparation as we shift our focus to the beginning of Autumn and a season filled with change, reflection and gratitude. We find an internal and external balance, much like the equator, and purposefully pause. This is a unique point of transition in which the northern and southern hemispheres have a balanced exposure to light from the sun. To harness this inner balance, we can also practice alternate nostril breathing or nadi shodhana to balance the left and right hemispheres of the body.
This unique retreat is designed as a slowing down, drawing in, restorative time. We welcome yogis of all levels, from absolute beginners to those with significant experience and training. The emphasis, therefore, is on moving with awareness, breathing fully and intelligently, and practising hatha yoga in a safe and mindful way.
We recommend that those with extensive experience approach this weekend as a chance to re-connect to the fundamentals of practice, while those newer to yoga will find plenty to work with. We look forward to gathering together to luxuriate in a healthful and mindful space.
Look forward to meditation, relaxation and yoga as well as walks amongst hundreds of acres or big long siestas to bring you back to a proper and full nights sleep!
Big fires crackle in the Dining Room and in the Library you will find comfy sofas to curl up in with a good book.This is a well earned "look after you" time and it is our aim to help you to slow down your pace of life and rejuvenate your body by stepping away from the worries and stresses of work or family.
