EVERYONE NEEDS A REST SOMETIMES. ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE SUPER BUSY.
Introducing the You Go | Do Yoga ‘Reconnect’ retreat for busy people: not designed to detach you from your regular life, not to ‘detox’ or to ‘switch off’ but instead to help you to reconnect to what feels good! Think of it as an annual ‘spring clean’ for your mind, tidying your thoughts, leaving your head uncluttered and re-energised with renewed clarity and focus.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
Maybe you just need a break, in the sun, with some yoga by the pool.
If you already practice yoga, prepare to go deeper into it, using the practice to enhance your life ‘off the mat’ and set new goals and intentions for moving forwards.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Mornings will start with short mindfulness sessions followed by a Hatha or Vinyasa practice (depending on the group desires). After a delicious breakfast the rest of the morning is yours to spend as you wish. Lounge by the pool with a book, catch up on emails, write in your journal or take a walk in the stunning national park. After lunch, you’ll spend some afternoons in workshops in which you’ll explore the practice of yoga a little deeper; from the ‘off the mat’ lessons to more practical, alignment-based sessions. You’ll learn easy stress-management techniques, how to face your fears, work with others and identify and set achievable goals. Other days we might spend the day at the beach, or take part in a traditional Italian cooking class, or sunset wine tasting.
Each evening we’ll come together again for a gentle, relaxing yoga practice, followed by a traditional fresh, home-cooked Italian dinner. The evening is yours to spend it how you please.
Everything is optional, allowing you to listen to what you need, and create your own experience. There is no strict, regimented routine other than the coming together for yoga sessions and meals. We simply want you to enjoy your time in whatever way you chose in this beautiful, peaceful environment.
HOW IS THIS RETREAT DIFFERENT?
What really makes it different is that there are no restrictions or judgements about what you should be eating, drinking or how you should be spending your days. Don’t feel like practising one day? That’s OK, take a break. Want a glass of wine? Help yourself. Not vegetarian? No problem, meat options are available.
Beginners have nothing to fear, and even if you’re sceptical about yoga, we can help you explore it as an option, in a relaxed, natural and non-judgemental environment.
If you would like to to bring your partner along, that’s great! We know it can be tricky to find a time when you can get away with your partner, friends or family members, so why not combine the two? We even have an option if they just want to come for the sun and don’t want to join the yoga classes or workshops (email me for more details).
