Wellness Program: Yoga, Meditation and Workshops
This retreat is suitable for all levels of yoga experience from beginners through to those with an established yoga practice.
There will be energising and uplifting morning yoga (not too early…you are on holidays!), designed to put a spring in your step. The sunset yoga sessions will be restorative and gentle. We’ll explore guided relaxation and yoga breathing techniques called pranayama.
As we watch the waves on the beach, we’ll watch the waves of our own breath, the ebb and flow of thought and of sensation; we’ll remember to gently trust in the flow of life.
You will leave Shoreham more in tune with your body and mind, better equipped to manage the stressors of daily life.
