  • Fall Back Yoga Retreat

    27 - 29th October 2017

    This weekend allows time to retreat, time to prepare for hibernation and slowing down - autumn, a time to prepare, ready for the hibernation of winter.

    The yoga will be strengthening for your core beliefs and trusting in what you need, while also nurturing that down time and desire to fall back in winter. With delicious vegetarian meals and massage (at a small extra cost) as always this time for you should come easy - with the added extra perks of afternoon tea and a hot tub! The wonderful food, yoga and therapy is all finished off nicely with sound therapy, as lucy brings her amazing singing bowls to nurture the body even further after a days yoga.

    Sophie has taught for over 7 years, combined with her massage work she brings a strong anatomical element to her class. She teaches Hatha yoga, with some flowing elements, allowing time for release and strength and a new love for yoga nidra helps that relaxation flow easily.
