Christchurch retreat
Saturday 27th Feb 2021
On this one-day Yoga Retreat you will unwind, and have space from your daily pressures to top up your reserves and to feel more physical vitality and mental peace
Have you wanted to go on a wellness retreat but found it hard to find the time or money? That’s one of the main reasons I’ve created this 1 day weekend retreat. You get the benefits of time away, a moment to yourself, and that feeling of rejuvenation without too much time off work or spending a load of money.
Yoga helps restore balance in our body and mind. When life gets challenging, or we have a fearful situation in front of us, we get out of balance and we experience stress. The experience of stress affects our breath, our immune system, and our general state of health
Its important that we know how to bring ourselves back to a place of balance and vitality. People find the poses in yoga help shift the energy in the body to feel more overall vitality and energy for daily life.
This unique retreat will combine both body and mind practices to help you boost your health and general feelings of positivity. We will get out of our head and into your body utilising the combination of ancient yoga wisdom and wellbeing science techniques will help you release tension and grow your inner strengths.
