Restorative Yoga Day In The New Forest

  • The Retreat New Forest Lyndhurst Road Christchurch, BH23 7EF (map)

This day retreat is aimed at regular yoga practitioners who have been taking classes for at least 6 months or more. The theme is "restorative" where we will explore the art of letting go by using supported poses and pranayama as well as exploring philosophical themes to help us reflect, quieten and calm the mind, heal the body. The morning session will consist of more active poses, but from the view point of going deeper inwards and to prepare for pranayama.

A lovingly prepared vegan lunch will be offered and then the afternoon session will consist of restorative poses and pranayama.

The day is not suitable for beginners, but for those with a regular yoga practice (experience of Iyengar Yoga desired but not essential) and knowledge of using props.

The Retreat New Forest is in the heart of this beautiful part of the UK and the venue has acres of grounds to explore and is close to wonderful beaches and walks. The food that is provided is both healthy and delicious, all plant based and gluten-free options are also available. Everything is lovingly prepared by the retreat chefs and there are also onsite therapists to provide massage treatments - accommodation is available if you wish to extend your stay into a wonderful weekend in the New Forest.
