Midwinter Medicine Day Retreat

About the workshop

Chase away those January blues with a blissful, restful yoga retreat in the beautiful surroundings of Knepp Wildland Safari, where we will be cosy and warm in the yurt what ever the weather. After the festivities of midwinter January is the best time to nestle down and get into our soft animal selves and enjoy the nurturing quiet resting body. We will start the morning with an uplifting cleansing energising yoga practice leading to a guided meditation. Then a delicious healthy nourishing lunch of local seasonal foods, a walk around the wilderness of Knepp in the afternoon followed by a deeply restful restorative practice and a Sound bath with Lois Richards to really take us into that calm, deep nurturing space, to reset and revitalise our body, mind and spirit. There will be lots of lovely healthy teas and warm berry toddies, creating a day of healthy self care through the all senses. This day retreat is open to all levels and experiences, so whether you are adept yogi or a beginner, or recovering your strength, come and spend a deeply restful day at the Yoga Garden, guided through your practice of self reflection and sowing seeds of good intention for the new year ahead. £108 (Early Bird £90 before 14th December) Rebecca Oura is a local and long time teacher at the Yoga Garden.
