Immerse yourself in nature in the beautiful natural surroundings and the calm and tranquil atmosphere of Northblows House in the South Downs.
Take the time for yourself on this nurturing and nourishing retreat, resting and eating delicious locally sourced healthy meals in the company of your fellow yogis. Spend your weekend listening to the wildlife around you and practicing gentle, cleansing and relaxing yoga. Taking time to notice the earth around you literally coming alive. Learning techniques to reconnect and enjoy your body in what ever shape or form you arrive in.
This will be a gentle transformative and rebalancing physical practice. Let your host Nicola and yoga teacher Rebecca Oura take care of everything else.
Relax in the wood-fired hot tub
We will practice our yoga together to create a space for quiet self enquiry using the art of yoga to connect and rebalance ourselves through our breath and movement. Using the physical movements of yoga asana we will explore postures and stretches, particularly inversions, that help us relieve and even remove old tensions rebalancing the bodies systems. Through thoughtful movement we will begin to reconnect with our bodies finding a joyous space within and practising turning our worlds upside down.
Rain or shine we will be cosy and exceptionally comfortable in the fabulously designed setting of the houses, glamping tents and lounges. There are many spaces to choose from to find your own quiet and peaceful place.
The weekend of yoga will be gentle and inclusive, honouring this time of year -energising and awakening – with sense of balance and self care.
On arrival on Friday evening we will settle in with some more restorative style yoga and meditation and enjoy a healthy meal together,
On Saturday we will wake to a quiet meditative early practice, building up to stronger awakening postures and then a hearty healthy brunch. There will be a more dynamic style of yoga later in the morning which a chance to explore some more challenging postures relative to each person.
After lunch on Saturday we will have time to rest or enjoy a walk along the river Adur. This is also a good time to book in a treatment such a massage with the amazing Yana.
Saturday evening we will share a meal after a gentle restorative yoga practice and immerse ourselves in the Elements of Yoga soundbath meditation, with Lois Richards. After supper the rest of the evening is yours to relax. If you have a hot tub you are welcome to fire it up during the day for an evening of relaxing in the wood fired heated water under the stars.
On Sunday morning we will visit the local Yoga Garden Yurt at Knepp Safari for an energising practice, then we will return to Northblows for breakfast or take breakfast with you and enjoy the opportunity to wander around the diverse and natural rewilding landscape of Knepp Safari.
There will be another meditation session around midday before a healthy lunch and a get together in the late afternoon before we depart.
