The retreat

Yoga is the practice. Self is the exploration.

A short, immersive introduction to the Yoga & Self journey.

Three days that move from arriving in the body, to observing the mind, to asking how you want to live.

What “Yoga & Self” means

Yoga as a way of observing ourselves.

We often experience yoga as something we do — we come to the mat, practise asanas, stretch, breathe and move. Across the retreat, we use yoga as a tool to explore:

There is no expectation that you will find all the answers. The intention is simply to create enough space to notice yourself without judgement.

  • How do I move?
  • How do I breathe?
  • How do I respond?
  • What happens when I slow down?
  • What am I carrying?
  • What do I actually need?
  • What does being present feel like?
