“February is the single rose in the cold. The hesitant rise of hope. The cracked heart still opening”,
Victoria Erickson
Join myself and Charlie Anderson Sumner with over 30 years of yoga teaching experience between us for an afternoon exploring how we can both nourish and nurture our hearts with a full programme of yoga practices.
This retreat afternoon offers an opportunity to embrace and explore mindful movement, breath and rest - shifting the stagnant energy and lethargy of winter, make our hearts sing and prepare for the vibrancy of spring ahead.
A chance to foster compassion to self and others at this challenging time of year.
‘There is a brilliant lotus in the heart decorated with twelve petals with brilliant signs. It is ornamented with twelve letters from ka to ṭha. There lives prāṇa, decorated with various desires, together with its past karma, which has no beginning, and infused with its egoism.’
Siva Samhita 3.1-2
February can be a challenging month…it is far into winter but also a long way from true spring. However, it is traditionally a month centred around love, with hope arising, a month of unfurling and giving way to an urge to move forward and prepare for spring ahead.
Together Charlie and myself will lead you to embrace the awakening with a creative heart focused flow which warms and revives and to indulge in deep rest and intentional Self Care through yoga philosophy, restorative yoga and meditation.
You can expect:
- An extended, heart-awakening creative vinyasa flow yoga session underpinned with metta meditation and featuring twists and backbends specifically designed to energise and uplift. A challenging practice with modifications offered for all.
- A heart-centred restorative yoga session (using *all* the props) designed to deeply nourish and relax your body and mind
- An interweaving of pranayama and mudras throughout the afternoon
- Yoga philosophy centred around Anāhata, the heart chakra and all the mystery it holds
- Time for tea, delicious sweet treats and to connect with us and your fellow retreaters
- Gifted Self Care treats to take home with you.
