This day is all about creating balance in the mind, body and spirit! It will take place in Ballintotis, Midleton East Cork on Sunday the 25th of February from 10-4.30pm.
The morning will be a 2 & 1/2 yang styled 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 a super delicious lunch provided by the one and only Naturally Nourished This will be 2 course lunch including 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 locally sourced and made fresh. 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 our inner selves. 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.
This day is suited to anyone looking to dive a little deeper into their practice and willing to challenge themselves.
