Spring Day Retreat

About the workshop

The Spring Equinox is upon us, heralding lighter, warmer days. Green shoots are all around, bright early flowers already blooming, reminding us through the natural seasons that life cycles in nature are arising - a sense of renewal and starting afresh. Spring brings promise and good things, a literal buzz and chatter in the air as the earth wakes up once more and slowly rumbles over the land like a giant wave. Through our yoga practice and meditation in nature, we attune ourselves a little deeper to the elements, honoring this time of year and harmonizing with our environment. We tune into the upsurge of energy, warmth, and light—this time of new growth and new beginnings—and explore how that might shape us, with an emphasis on energizing, nurturing, and rest. Practicing yoga so close to nature in the yurt creates a deeper connection to our elemental selves and a deeper sense of grounding. We will start the morning with an uplifting, cleansing, energizing Hatha yoga practice leading to a guided meditation. Then enjoy a delicious, healthy, nourishing lunch of local seasonal foods, followed by a walk around the wilderness of Knepp in the afternoon and a deeply restful somatic and restorative practice. We'll finish with a sound bath by Lois Richards to really take us into that calm, deeply nurturing space, resetting and revitalizing body, mind, and spirit. There will be plenty of lovely healthy teas and warm berry toddies, creating a day of healthy self-care through all the senses. This day retreat is open to all levels and experiences. Whether you are an adept yogi, 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 year ahead.
