One Day Silent Yoga & Meditation Retreat

Such a gift to spend a day in silence and reconnect with our hearts. We're really happy to be able to offer this space for practice and exploration. With very little to distract us, we're free to redirect our attention from outside to inside, to the Heart of our being, to who we truly are. Ah, so - a feeling of coming back home.

The day won't be without its challenges. Most of us either suffer from a restless or lethargic state of mind. Our state of mind will likely reveal itself quite clearly during this retreat. The schedule is there to support us throughout this process. We'll be exploring various practices that will help to:

- Quieten the mind
- Develop an understanding of the nature of mind
- Balance our energies and nervous system
- Energise us while simultaneously cultivating relaxation
- Observe thoughts with non-reactivity
- Awaken our hearts

Yoga is not a quick fix, it is a lifelong journey and discipline. Through consistent practice, we can start to touch deeper and more subtle aspects of our being. Meditation is an experiential exploration of the fundamental questions of life – ‘Who am I?’, ‘What is this Existence?’. A day dedicated to silence, can be a profound journey of self remembrance.

We guide and supervise all practices, creating safe and supportive conditions for you to go deeper into your practice. The day will likely include Sun Salutations, gentle Hatha Yoga including pranayama, and short meditations including walking meditation. There will be some short talks on yogic philosophy as well.

Every aspect of the day is fully dedicated to creating the best conditions for the revelation of our true essence and the awakening of our hearts.

Mauna (Noble Silence): The observance of mauna is fundamental to creating the proper conditions to allow us to go deeper in our practice of meditation. Pausing social interaction allows the mental energies connected with communication to cease and be redirected to the practice of self exploration.

This format of retreat provides a great introduction to the practice of meditation for beginners and can also serve to enrich and refresh the practice of experienced meditators.
