Moving into Silence: Yoga Retreat in the South of France

Moving into Silence
Dates: Saturday 11 May to Friday 17 May 2024
Treat yourself to a week of yoga ~ Relax, Restore, and Rejuvenate
In a world that seems to be moving ever faster
it is vital that we take time out, slow down, and restore
In this Yoga retreat, we will use a wide variety of yoga postures to free the body and its systems of tensions often secretly held. As the tensions in the body ease, we can start to relax the organs of perceptions during guided restorative postures and deep relaxation. This prepares us to explore the breath and let go into the empty spaces between the in-breath and the out-breath to naturally and effortlessly return to our true nature: open empty Consciousness, resting into Silence.
This retreat is open to all. The yoga explorations are very accessible to all and pre-existing health conditions can be accommodated by giving safe alternatives, on an individual basis.
