This Winter Solstice day retreat is an opportunity to slow down, soften and restore.
Together we honour the turning of the wheel and the deep stillness of this pivotal point. This is a sacred pause — a invitation to rest, reflect and give thanks as we journey through the darkest day and begin to welcome the returning light.
If we allow it, winter can teach us how to turn inward, to release the weight of the year gone by and root down into the quiet wisdom within. This is your time to gently let go, to be still, and replenish.
You’ll be guided with care through a restful blend of traditional yogic practices, including gentle movement (Asana), breathwork (Pranayama), mantra, Yoga Nidra, meditation and a soothing sound bath.
A nourishing homemade lunch, warm drinks and sweet treats will be served to delight and replenish the senses.
Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or completely new to yoga you are warmly welcomed. I look forward to holding space for you to tend to the temple of yourself, in alignment with the sacred stillness of midwinter.
My approach to yoga is that is can be accessible to anyone with the right guidance and props. There is no one 'right' way to move, only what feels good in your body. I offer variations and support for all bodies.
The booking cost of £50 includes homemade lunch, cakes and refreshments. I provide mats and all the props. You might like to bring your own blanket and/or cushion to get really cosy. Wear comfy clothing, whatever that looks like for you - yoga clothes are whatever you feel comfiest in! Layers are best so you can take on and off as you need.
The session is in the studio upstairs at Westmorland Crossfit. There is disabled access. When you enter reception use the stairs or the lift on the right to go upstairs. If using the stairs the studio will be on your right. If using the lift the studio will be on your left.
Free parking is available for the duration of the event. You MUST provide me with your vehicle registration on the day so that this can be shared with parking enforcement. Breach of this will result in a £100 fine from the parking enforcement company.
We start promptly so please arrive 5-10 minutes early to get yourself cosy (but no earlier as I am setting up). Late arrivals ruins the experience for other attendees.
