Ashtanga, Yin and Sound Meditation Winter Retreat
with Raili Maripuu and Lorena Rodrigo
6 – 9 February 2025
Estonia
We are so excited to announce this unique collaboration between the two experienced Yoga Reading teachers – the amazing and talented Lorena Rodrigo and our own teacher Raili Maripuu.
In February 2025, Lorena and Raili will be running a 4-day yoga retreat in Estonia, to kickstart the year in an amazing winter wonderland setting. The focus of this retreat to combine the feminine yin and masculine yang energies and find the balance of both, in our bodies and minds. This retreat will offer a combination of ashtanga and yin yoga practises with deeply relaxing sound journeys.
The retreat will also include a taster class of Anusara yoga, focusing on alignment, heart opening and spiritual aspects of hatha yoga.
The retreat will take place in wonderfully spiritual Estonia that in February is usually immersed in snow, making it a perfect location to find some harmony and balance in our busy lives. The exact retreat location will be confirmed closer to the time and will be dependent on the number of students, taking place either in Tallinn or in a suitable venue in the countryside.
The dates of this 4-day yoga retreat are 6 – 9 February 2025. More details about the retreat will follow very soon. Until then, please save the dates in your calendar.
For our students in the UK, we will also be running a Retreat Taster Day on Sunday, 1 December 2024. This is a half day event that introduces our collaboration and the retreat, includes an ashtanga yoga class, a mini sound journey and a delicious brunch. The Taster Day event will take place at Raili’s own shala in Reading, the details of which will be shared to all attending participants. The Taster Day is open to all interested yogis and does not require a commitment to attend the retreat.
