Hi Shayla ~
This Soma Yoga Retreat sounds wonderful. Can you tell me please, how and where is the yoga? Is it just in Nelson on Saturday morning, and then we travel to the pools, or is there a place at Ainsworth where more yoga is done? Thanks! Trish
Hi Trish
Good to hear from you. Id’ love to have you come to the retreat.
The yoga morning at Shanti is optional, because most of the yoga happens at Ainsworth. We arrive at 2pm, and have an afternoon of yoga, finishing up a long session in the baths. Then dinner, followed by deep relaxation, contemplation and meditation.
The next morning we start yoga at 8, and do a morning session of at least 2 hours, followed by brunch..Then we’re done, just before noon.
The emphasis, for the yoga part of it, is very much on the restorative, renewing aspect of the practice-working with our life force, so that we can connect with our own capacity to regenerate, ground, and deeply rest.
The focus is in this direction, because that’s what the women who come are asking for. And because this is a resting time of year..There’s a deep stillness in the earth right now, and we can learn to open the body and the energy field so that we receive this stillness, become deeply receptive to it’s healing and renewing power.
