'New Year, New You' One Day Yoga Retreat

"New Year New You" yoga day retreat

No better way to start off 2018 than a yoga retreat. I will hosting this event in Ballintotis Community Hall, Midleton on Saturday the 20th of January.
This day is all about creating balance in the mind, body and spirit through a yang style dynamic morning workshop and a yin style afternoon workshop and delicious healthy food provided by the one and only Nourished Cafe.
The morning will be a 2 & 1/2 focus workshop where we will spend time breaking down different poses and areas to gain a better understanding of our bodies and learn how to practice more safely and with integrity.
We will then break for lunch at about 12.30 for a 2 course lunch of homemade soup with fresh breads and either a salad of you choice or a Thai curry finished off with the nicest chocolate protein balls I have ever tasted and tea or coffee. All the food is made fresh by Nourished Cafe. There's a reason I always get the same people to do the food and that's cause it never disappoints.!!
We will be back on mats at about 2pm for a 2 hour yin yoga and yoga nidra workshop. In our yin practice ye will guided through a variety of seated poses which will be held for a few minutes at a time. This is a slow, passive, meditative style of yoga which helps to calm the mind, open the body (especially the hips) and create space for us to gain a deeper connection to ourselves. We will then move into our final stage of the day and probably the main reason people come on the retreat, yoga nidra. Yoga nidra is a guided meditation / relaxation through sensations of the body while lying down. There is no right or wrong way with yoga nidra the hardest part about it is trying to not fall asleep. It is both a simple and beautiful practice that will leave you feeling content and relaxed, almost as if you're floating. The only way to understand something is to experience and believe you will definitely want to experience this.
Full day costs €60 with a €25 deposit and if you have already done a day retreat with me you will get it for €55. To book contact me on 0863241168. This day is fully booked with a waitlist.
