November Full Day Retreat
Always taking inspiration from the seasons and cycles of nature, Claire has designed a day filled with a blend of both uplifting and soothing practices.
Gentle Yoga Workshop
In the morning session Claire will compassionately guide you through Gentle Yoga movement and Pranayama (breath practices). Beginning with a centering meditation then easing into yoga asana, we will mindfully and intentionally move the whole body. This will be a wonderful reset as we edge closer to winter and an opportunity to devote time to yourself before the hectic festive season commences.
Restorative Yoga
In our afternoon Restorative Yoga session Claire will guide you into a state of complete ease in both body and mind. Using props to facilitate deep physical relaxation she will show you how to rest without distraction. Blissful restorative poses and Yoga Nidra will be shared to soothe your adrenals, bring balance to your nervous system and leave you feeling completely rested. The ultimate way to relax & de-stress!
