SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga Immersion
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nCome discover the power of relaxation and restoration over this 4-day immersion long weekend focusing on the practices of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra. \nYoga Nidra is a profound\, yet simple\, practice that encourages the mind to let go of the external world and turn inwards\, giving the senses a deep rest from the activities of contemporary society. The mind is gradually trained to connect into tranquility effortlessly. Ultimately the practice works on the mind to release impressions from the past and anxieties about the future. It helps us to retrain the nervous system and create new neural pathways that support the relaxation response and build resilience. Yoga Nidra is a powerful tool to enable the parasympathetic nervous system and enhance deep sleep\, thus supporting health and well-being at many levels \nRestorative Yoga has been shown to support the dismantling of chronic tension patterns\, enhanced immune function and effective cellular respiration. It has also proven to reduce hypertension and mental and emotional stress to facilitate more homeostasis in the body-mind structure\, returning it to a natural state of ease and equilibrium. \nBOOKING: To book your place\, complete this online form. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]RETREAT PROGRAMME INCLUDES[vc_column_text]\n\nShared Accommodation\nNourishing organic vegetarian food (dietary requirements accommodated)\nYoga Nidra Relaxation Practice and Restorative Yoga\nHatha Yoga\, Mantra Meditation\, optional Karma Yoga\nGroup Discussions & Theory Sessions on the science\, psychology and principles of the practices as well as sleep hygiene; daily life hacks to create calm; somatic (body oriented) techniques to manage trauma.\nFire Ceremony (Havan) and Chanting (healing sound vibration)\nOpportunity for private sessions (bodywork\, healing\, 1:1)\nRelax in our Woodfired Sauna\nEnjoy the stunning natural environment\nConnect with likeminded people in the community\n\n[/vc_column_text]ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[vc_column_text]ARRIVE: 3pm-5:00pm Wed. 2nd / bus pick up 3:00pm iSite\nDEPART: Sun 6th. after lunch / bus Mon 7th 8:00am iSite \nEXCHANGE: \n$650.00pp \nSpecial Dietary Requirements: All meals provided are vegetarian.
