SPRING INTO SUMMER:
YOGA AND MEDITATION RETREAT ON DARTMOOR
29 May – 2 June 2022
A delightful opportunity to brighten up your soul and nourish your body and mind in a spectacularly beautiful environment. Bala Brook is a magical place, a haven of peace and tranquility right on the edge of Dartmoor, surrounded by nothing but nature.
Ample time for gentle yoga and various forms of meditation, for walks on the moor, to meet with friends new and old and to spend quality time with yourself.
The program of the retreat includes various meditation methods, yin & yang flow, somatic movement, pure yin yoga, breath awareness, visualisation and deep relaxation. There will be ample time for a walk after lunch, local maps are available. There’s also a library with books on yoga, meditation, nature and local history.
To enhance the experience of connecting with yourself we will be unplugged and in ‘noble silence’ during part of the retreat. Silence is a time honoured tradition to cultivate a deeper quality of being. On retreat we purposely turn away from our daily preoccupations and distractions in order to meet ourselves just as we are and be open to our immediate environment.
Delicious, healthy, vegan meals will be provided by Poco Culina.
Prices still to be confirmed.
To reserve a place please contact Elles.
