Solid Ground Open Heart
Yoga from the inside out… In yoga, the aim is to open the body, the heart, the mind… Often one approaches asana work from the surface – working from the outside and moving inwards; from the periphery moving toward the centre.
It is never about the finished form of a posture – but about the exploration and the journey. The postures need to grow from the inside out. But one also needs to be grounded and anchored to the earth. One needs to attune and align with nature, with the primal rhythms that surround each person.
On this weekend, you will explore asana, breath work, relaxation, restorative work and meditation – and work from the inside, moving outwards – and returning back again to the centre.
About Retreats at Clearview
This is a range of workshops and retreats to expand and deepen your understanding of yoga. In a class situation, you often only get to practice postures. Yoga has an insightful, practical and fascinating body of knowledge regarding the workings of the mind and soul, as relevant today as it was 4,000 years ago.
Each Weekend Mountain Yoga Retreat involves yoga classes, relaxation, meditation, some periods of silence, and guided walks. The structure of each workshop is the same, but different themes are focused on each weekend. Two-day retreats have five yoga sessions. Three-day retreats have seven yoga sessions. Four-day retreats have nine yoga sessions.
Free time between yoga sessions allows guests to rest and explore the natural beauty of Victoria. 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.
Home-cooked, delicious, inspiring vegetarian meals are provided, beginning with Friday night dinner. Special diets are catered for.
