Retreats

Be Liberated

I have been holding the space and leading yoga holidays now for 14 years and absolutely love this aspect of my teaching more than ever. Teaching a retreat is so rewarding both for the student and the teacher. I never ever feel drained after teaching a retreat because one of the most magical things is its ability to always give me back more than I give.

There is always an element of the unknown, to begin with, however, I try my best to humble myself to the power of yoga and encourage the students to do the same from the very beginning. Every class becomes progress and even more so on a yoga holiday, we learn to trust, never to lose hope and believe that anything is possible with a little bit of patience and perseverance. We love, we let go, we play, we form strong bonds, we always laugh lots and of course we get out of our heads and open our hearts to it all. After a couple of days, the yoga connects us all like a close-knit family, then in no time at all, a special vibe begins to emerge, both from the yoga space and from the group.

Consequently, we come home feeling completely nourished, nurtured, renewed, re-inspired, refreshed and with a new passion or even a vision for all that lies ahead of us. A week of yoga with an amazing group of people literally changes your perception of life.

I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all of the beautiful souls who have attended past retreats and made my job so rewarding.

Yoga & the 7 Chakra Retreat

& Our yearly Meditation Retreat has been

Rescheduled for 2021

The seven chakras explained

The chakra system is a seven levelled philosophical model of the universe. It is a center that receives, assimilates and expresses life force energy. The word chakra translates as “wheel or disk” and refers to a spinning sphere. There are seven main chakras stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the top of the heard. This chakra system is a bridge between polarities, heaven/earth, inner/outer, above/ below, matter/consciousness. Chakra one is our center of stability and basic needs, located near the base of the spine, element-earth, colour-red. Chakra two is our center of creativity and sexuality, located in the pelvic area, element-water, colour-orange. Chakra three is our center of power, located in the navel area, element-fire, colour-yellow. Chakra four it the center of love it is situated in the heart area, element-air, colour-green. Chakra five is our center of expression, located in the throat area, element-ether, colour-blue.  The last two chakras connect us beyond this earthly realm, chakra six is our center of intuition, located at the eyebrow center point (third eye), light-element, colour-indigo. Chakra seven is the center of our spiritual connection it is situated at the crown of the head, cosmic energy-element, colour-violet/white. For optimum health and to harness the power of the chakras this retreat will explore the use of yoga postures, chakra meditations, essential oils, crystals, affirmations, and colour vibration. Ideal for beginners to well-seasoned practitioners.
