What to Expect on a Yoga Retreat
Each day of the retreat is thoughtfully designed to create balance, renewal, and deep connection—both within and around you.
Morning Practice (3 hours)
Our mornings begin with subtle yet energising pranayama (yogic breathwork) to awaken your life force, followed by a guided meditation to center the mind.
We then move into a dynamic Yang Yoga practice, with a strong emphasis on alignment to support safety, build strength, and cultivate vitality.
Afternoon Practice (2 hours)
Afternoons are dedicated to rest and rejuvenation. These sessions include restorative postures, Yin Yoga, and gentle stretches to release tension and nourish the nervous system.
You’ll also be guided through calming Yin-style pranayamas and a closing meditation to deepen your inner stillness.
