Spring Rest and Restore Retreat

March can be a month of uncertainty, sometimes we are greeted with occasional bright, warm days, then there can be rain, even frost, and the daffodils, snowdrops and blossom must persevere towards the light.

Inwardly we can often feel the same. Wanting to emerge and grow, but also reluctant to leave the cocoon of winter. We might feel a desire to break free, but also exhausted if we were unable to slow down and rest in the winter months.

This retreat emphasises rest and restoration using a quiet type of yoga practice, but also the chance to awaken and re-energise with gentle movement and stretching. Yoga will be made accessible to all – you will be surprised at what your body can do! As always, Mel will teach in a quiet, invitational way, offering lots of space for self-inquiry, and the chance to practice non-judgement and compassion towards one’s self.

Yoga helps us reconnect with ourselves and find an inner sense of peace. From this place, we can better appreciate our beautiful surroundings and the changing light, which we explore early morning meditation walks to the woodland sanctuary. You will also be invited to bring any nature-based poetry, artwork or other inspiration to share, and we will build our connection to the nature around us with a creative meditation on Saturday afternoon – plus a nourishing gong bath on Saturday evening.
