Join Virginie on a Rural Day Retreat in Woolley, near Bath. Spring is a time to cleanse and rejuvenate as well as a time to be creative and playful; longer days and usually finer, warmer weather makes us want to lift and open up. During our morning meditation, we will practice ‘open presence’ then use our guided morning yoga practice to energise our liver & gallbladder meridians (Spring meridians); we’ll use pranayama (breathing techniques) to cleanse and purify, followed by a gentle stretch for awakening and a stronger Yoga & Core sequence including hips/ pelvis and side body. After our delicious lunch, our afternoon practice will be slow, restorative and intuitive, using breath and asanas to create space in our body & mind with particular attention to the hips, side body and gentle heart opening; we’ll be concluding our day with Yoga Nidra (Yogic sleep) to feel fully relaxed, centred & present.
The Retreat will include a light yet nutritious vegan/vegetarian lunch and a healthy morning/afternoon snack of clean, nutrient-rich and locally sourced food, provided by South West catering business Goodness Grazers; during lunch, you can choose to chat and relax at the barn, which offers a vast upstairs room with plenty comfy seating space, sipping on a cup of cleansing herbal tea or go for an uplifting 20 min circular nature walk, enjoying the amazing views and glorious countryside that surrounds Summerhaze Farm. (If the weather is mild enough and sunny, we may take our morning meditation outside)
