Moving into Autumn
This 3 day retreat comes at a time when we are shifting from the strong, yang, summer energy into autumn.
The days get shorter and the natural seasonal energy is beginning to gather in and return to ground.
Like a tree storing its energy, shedding its leaves and slowing down growth, our bodies are also preparing for the onset of winter.
We will honour the seasonal energy with yoga and food that specifically prepares us for cooler yin seasons: autumn and winter. Autumn is the perfect time to shift our focus back inwards, to focus on breath and listen to our internal nature.
Yoga Postures, Pranayama & Meditation
Yoga at Clearview Mountain Retreat
With yoga postures, breathwork, self-shiatsu, meditation, deep relaxation and self inquiry we will work to strengthen our lungs, centre and ground ourselves and build up a reserve of energy to sustain us through the colder months.
Expand and Deepen Your Yoga Understanding
This is a range of workshops to expand and deepen our understanding of yoga. In a class situation we often only get to practice postures, yet yoga has an insightful, practical and fascinating body of knowledge regarding the workings of the mind and the soul, as relevant today as it was 4,000 years ago.
This retreats has 5 yoga sessions. Free time between yoga sessions allows guests to rest and explore. Optional massage can be booked separately. Class sizes are kept small and students of all levels of experience are welcome. If there are areas of particular interest or special needs, i.e. injuries or pregnancy, please let us know in advance so we are able to better tailor the program to suit you.
Yoga can refresh and revitalize you mentally and physically! Learn asana sequences to help you through menstruation and menopause, and practices to ease stress and promote energy and vitality. There will be a special focus on twists, balances and core strengthening postures to enhance good digestion and your body’s own cleansing abilities. The physical practices will be supported by deep relaxation, meditation and pranayama (yogic breathing). Cultivate physical and mental harmony as spring blossoms in a beautiful bush setting.
