Mini Yoga Retreat 9am -12 noon, £65
A great way to dip your toes into the immersive yoga experience. You’ll begin with an all-levels yoga class to mobilise, stretch, energise and open the body. Yoga can improve flexibility, strength, balance, joint health and fosters ease in the body. Katie’s mindful approach and accessible style creates a lasting harmony in the body & mind. As a group, you’ll then walk to the Lochan Mor (the Lily Loch), approximately 30 mins each way, for a mini breathwork session to warm the body followed by an optional healing cold water dip. You might just enjoy dipping your toes in the loch, everyone will do what they’re comfortable with. The cold water experience has numerous benefits – as the cold water stresses the system you’ll work with the breath to remain calm, building resiliency within your own nervous system to handle any life’s stresses. You’ll be supported by the group energy for this genuine life-enhancing experience. Cold water therapy also helps you release negative thinking patterns & increase your motivation to create change by shifting our environment & everyday inputs. Then you’ll warm up with some loving homemade coco loch-side before heading back to the tipi for goodbyes.
