Yoga & Meditation Long Weekends

Yoga enriched with meditation and Buddhist teaching. Each day includes two yoga sessions: a morning practice with gentle sequences to mobilise joints, build strength, and enhance vitality; and an afternoon restorative session with meditative postures, props, and deep rest. The programme also offers Buddhist meditation, chanting, devotional practice, silence, pranayama, yoga nidra, group discussion, and quiet reflection. FOR PEOPLE WITH SOME EXPERIENCE of YOGA & MEDITATION.

Deepening our exploration of Yoga and Meditation, including Pranayama, Yoga Nidra and Ritual, we will create a rich, open inquiry into this being human, all within the context of Buddhism. Explore safe alignment in yoga practice, using the Bandhas to support the practice, working from the deep energetic core, with all the senses alive and vibrant. Through the practice we connect deeply to the Elements, to Aliveness and the Pranic body. Asana, Pranayama and Yoga Nidra connect within the flow of deep awareness and Presence.
