Back for another wonderful day retreat in Ballintotis, Midleton, East Cork on Saturday the 14th October from 10am to 5pm.
This day will take place in Ballintotis Community Hall which is about a 25 minute drive from Cork city.
Included in this day is a morning 2&1/2 hour focus workshop, 2 course lunch provided by Nourished Cafe and the afternoon will be a 2hr yin yoga workshop finished off with yoga nidra (deep relaxation).
This day is suited to all levels of yoga practitioners. It is €60 for the full day with a €25 deposit to secure your spot.
*Focus Workshop: Yoga workshops work differently from your standard yoga classes. Workshops allow the teacher to focus on certain areas and break them down for the students so that they can gain a better understanding of their own bodies and connect more deeply to their practice. When flowing through a regular class a lot the time the teacher doesn't have time to stop the class and explain things in more dept and during a workshop this is the perfect opportunity to do that. On the day I will explain in detail what areas we will be concentrating on.
*Yin Yoga: This style of yoga is a passive, slow, deep meditative practice. It is static stretching where you hold various floor poses for longer periods of time(3-5mis). By doing this you help to put necessary stress on the connective tissues, ligaments and tendons and fascia, improving the circulation in the joints, increasing your flexibility, relieves stress and anxiety from the mind and body by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system and overall leaves you feeling more grounded and revitalised.
*Yoga Nidra - Yoga Nidra is basically deep relaxation or as I like to call it easy lying down meditation. It is the state between being awake and asleep. During this practice you will be lying down and guided by my voice through a journey of sensations and feelings in the body which will help to induce total physical, mental and emotional relaxation. If you have never tried this before then you need to. It truly is a peaceful, calming, self connecting, easy and highly beneficial practice that I absolutely love and can't wait to share with ye.
Lunch: Lunch will be prepared by the super delicious and healthy Nourished cafe {click to view Facebook page) which will include homemade soup and Arbutus homemade fresh breads to start, a pre-ordered salad of your choice and some yummy protein balls and tea and coffee to finish it off. After lunch there will be plenty of time to go for a walk and chill out before starting back again.
