A NEW YEAR'S ONLINE DAY RETREAT - Lead from the heart

 

An event that promises to feel and taste good!

 

This day retreat is for you. It is an opportunity to pause, listen in, ground and nourish yourself.

 

Let's start 2021 off from a place that is strong, connected, filled with hope and a lot of heart. Join us for a day of inspiring yoga, breath, meditation and delicious food delivered right to your doorstep.

 

For many of us, the New Year symbolises starting afresh, it presents us with an opportunity to mentally reset. As we know, many of the resolutions or goals we set for ourselves on the 31st December however rarely stick for longer than a few weeks. I have often asked myself why that is, and when I do, I always come back to the same answer, we are leading from our heads rather than from our hearts. This was the inspiration for the theme of this retreat.

 

I believe that real, long lasting change cannot occur because our heads tell us so, whether it be the goal to 'lose weight' or 'get fit' or 'eat better' or 'alter a career path'. As the saying goes, 'we are human beings, not human doings'. What if we redirected these goals to learn how to lead from our hearts? What if new resolutions looked like, 'learning how to feel', 'learning how to listen to the body', 'learning how to breathe'? When we start leading from the heart, perhaps all the rest will just fall into place?

The Yoga

 

• The day will start with a strong and nourishing 105min Forrest Inspired yoga practice. Intensely focused breathwork and a healing yet challenging physical practice of deep core work and standing poses will lead you to strengthen, open and release tension in the body.

• We will explore the theme "Lead from the heart", which must not be confused with being flighty and up in the clouds. From my perspective, to truly lead from the heart, we must firmly root ourselves into the earth, we must feel our feet, our legs and the support of the earth beneath us. The morning practice will hence aim to ground us and help us connect with ourselves and everything around us.

• After lunch, we will gently move through a more restful and restorative yoga practice followed by a beautiful yoga nidra practice (a lying down meditation), otherwise known as 'yogic sleep'.

• For beginners to advanced students. Modifications will also be given for pregnant and postpartum mamas. Every body, age, level, ability is welcome.

• Recordings will be available for 1 month for those that cannot join the live sessions (including those in different time zones).
