Yoga, Healing and Mindfulness
During this retreat, participants will be taken on a journey of self-healing and inner enquiry. The retreat combines practices from yoga and yoga therapy, mindfulness techniques and mind-body medicine. There will be a little focus on theory with time for contemplation and much time for practice. Participants will be gently and safely guided to explore the physical, energetic and mental-emotional layers of their being. There will also be a focus on deepening the connection with the inner healer-doctor.

Deeper Into the Healing and Spiritual Journey: A Time for Practice
This retreat draws from yoga therapy practices, yoga psychology, Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness techniques, and modern day mind-body medicine. It is a retreat in which you will be fully supported to take time out from all the outer distractions of life and to take a journey deep into the inner most core of your being. You will be guided to enquire into the nature and root of that which you would like to heal in your life (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relationship issues) and to uncover that place within where all the answers to all your questions are waiting to be revealed to you. There will be time spent in silence and alone time for journaling and written “inner enquiry” assignments.

Yoga for The Digestive System

The gut is sometimes referred to as the "second brain". It has it's own nervous system which often responds well to specialised yoga practices designed to relieve symptoms and give support to a digestive system which has become out of balance. On this programme, you will learn about the function of the digestive system,  root causes of digestive system disorders and how to apply yoga practices specifically for relief of discomfort in the upper and lower digestive tracts, and to restore digestive function.

Yoga for Depression and Anxiety

Yoga can be very beneficial in easing mental and emotional stresses. These manifest in many in modern society as anxiety and/or depression. Yoga can work very specifically to ease these two states by bringing the nervous system back into balance and by balancing irregularities in the brain and in the glandular system. During this programme, you will learn about depression and anxiety from a modern psycho-physiological and from a yogic perspective. You will practice techniques for easing symptoms of depression, for relieving anxiety and for restoring balance to the body-mind. You will also experience the powerful tools yoga offers us for deeper self-knowledge. This can help us rediscover our own power and come to a place of self-acceptance and deeper inner healing.
