Sitting, supported by movement

Meditation is easier when the body has already been met. Practice comes first in the day, then breath, then sitting — which is why a yoga retreat is often a gentler entry into meditation than a sitting-only container.

What the practice includes

Daily meditation and pranayama, guided breathwork, deep relaxation and Yoga Nidra where scheduled, plus yoga philosophy, self-inquiry, journaling and guided reflection through the week.

No silence requirement

This is not a silent retreat and there is no vow of silence. There are sharing circles and community evenings. Quiet is available in the afternoons rather than imposed on the week.

If you have never meditated

You do not need to know how. Sessions are guided, and nothing is compulsory.
