Yoga Day Retreat in Tonbridge
Beginners level, all levels.
The retreat is for you if you feel depleted and need to recharge. Taking time to pause in a busy schedule is crucial to enable the body to recover, strengthen and reset your nervous system.
The focus will be on grounding and balancing energy as the season shifts. It is ideal if you are feeling a bit “off” after summer indulgence or travel and want to reset.
You will be offered space to nurture your body and mind. Expect slow yoga movements, qigong, music, chimes, breath and deep relaxation with Yoga Nidra.
In Qigong, we will focus on the Late Summer season, the related meridians (or energy lines), the organs, their correlated emotions. We will clear the meridians, unlocking energy. You will feel energised, your tensions released, a feeling of reset with your energy levels.
The retreat includes:
Breathwork
Yoga & Qigong Flow
Music, Sound Healing
Yin Yoga
Restorative Yoga
Yoga Nidra
Yoga and Qigong
The movement practice will be a blend of Yoga & Qigong. Qigong is an energy practice involving slow mindful movements. The practice has a nature theme and changes according to the seasons. I work with the meridians to eliminate blockages and reinforce the immune system.
In China, Qigong is used as a preventative medicine.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a restorative practice, a form of guided meditation. You will be lying down on the floor and make yourself as comfortable as you can, using a blanket to cover your body.
You will draw your attention inwards. You will be in a state between awake and asleep, listening to my voice, sound healing will be played to enhance your experience.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a meditative yoga practice that involves holding passive poses for 3 to 5 minutes.
It is based on the Taoist concept of yin and yang, the meridians (energy lines) and incorporates principles of Traditional Chinese medicine.
The stretches can be particularly useful if you feel stiff to increase mobility. It also improves sleep and the immune system as we work with the meridians to eliminate energy blockages.
