Welcome to the Imbolc Yoga Retreat!
We are so delighted to have you join us as we celebrate the light returning and the promise of new beginnings. Before we dive into our journey together, let us introduce ourselves so you can get to know us a little better.
Meet Alice and Sandra!
Alice is a yoga and mindfulness teacher. Yoga has been a part of her life since 2004, and it became her anchor during challenging times. It inspired her to share its transformative power with others. She’s passionate about creating spaces where people can connect deeply with themselves, find joy, and embrace life’s silver linings. When not teaching, Alice enjoys exploring the Outdoors, spending time with her partner, young child, and furry companions, or enjoying a cozy moment in a local café.
Sandra is a herbalist, soon to be a medical herbalist. She brings her deep knowledge of plants and their healing properties to everything she does. Sandra’s practice is deeply grounded in connecting the physical and emotional aspects of well-being. Outside of her work, she loves gardening, crafting herbal remedies, and immersing herself in nature.
We both share an immense love for the outdoors, spirituality, nature, and the changing seasons. We’re passionate about increasing resilience through the healing power of nature, movement, breathwork, connection, and lightness of being—and we’re excited to share these tools with you. More importantly, we are best friends who have a great sense of humor, love to laugh, and enjoy having fun!
Let’s take this journey of renewal and connection together. We’re so excited to share this day with you!
Join us for a rejuvenating day retreat as we bid farewell to winter and welcome the unfurling light of spring with yoga, herbal medicine and connection with like-minded individuals. As vitality is stirring under the surface into gentle emergence, we will gather to celebrate Imbolc - the halfway point between winter and spring, a perfect time to reflect and set intentions for the new season ahead. Within the warmth of the yurt, the invigorating weather and the land in awakening, this in-person retreat will confer nourishment to your body, mind and spirit.
What to Expect: Together, we have crafted a retreat experience that blends yoga, mindfulness, plant medicine and the essence of Imbolc. Our aim is to guide you in releasing the old, planting seeds of intention, and welcoming the fresh energy of the season.
• Opening the space: We will create a sacred space together, weaving a collective altar as a reflection of Spring rebirth. Through guided meditation, we will set personal and shared intentions, grounding ourselves in the present moment and inviting the energy of renewal.
• Flow and Fire Yoga practice: An hour of embodied movement to honour our inner flame. This yoga flow is designed to awaken our energy, stoke our creative fire and encourage fluidity in body and mind. A perfect balance of strength and grace, fire and water.
• Weaving of a Brigid’s cross while we share stories of similar celebrations from around the world.
• A delicious, nourishing and warming light lunch (GF, plant-based) and herbal teas throughout the day to reflect the nurturing hearth of Imbolc.
• Nature walk: Step outside for a walk, turning our senses and awareness on our surroundings. We will tune into the stirring energy of the earth, seeking inspiration in the first signs of Spring and reconnecting with the cycles of life.
• Rituals: This is a time to tune into the inner wisdom and guidance that we received during the depths of winter to reflect on what is bursting to come to life within us. A beautiful opportunity to get to know who we want to be and realise what we want to let go of.
• Plant medicine: In the depth of the phlegmatic season, we will introduce you to the lymphatic system and associated bioregional and seasonal plants. We will work with Water medicine and craft a herbal remedy for cleansing and washing away winter’s stagnation.
• Bonfire and Embodied Movement: We will gather around a bonfire, embracing the element of fire as a symbol of transformation. Through guided, expressive movement, you will connect deeply with your body. A closing meditation will invite clarity, grounding and gratitude, leaving you ready to rebirth within.
• Community and Connection: Enjoy the company of like-minded individuals in a supportive, friendly and nurturing environment. We will journey together towards renewal and growth.
What you need:
• A journal and pen for reflection
• Comfortable clothing suitable for the weather (we’ll be outdoors some part of the retreat) - extra layers, extra socks.
• A blanket and cushion for sitting comfortably, if you wish
• Indoor shoes if your feet tend to be cold, as we don’t wear shoes in the yurt
• Bring something special for the Imbolc altar
• Ribbons or fabric scraps
• Snacks if you feel the need to
• You may also want to bring your favourite crystals
This retreat is open to all levels, from beginners to experienced yogi (options and variations always offered). Come with an open heart and a willingness to explore the depths of your being. Together, we will celebrate the light within and the promise of new beginnings.
You will leave feeling focused, balanced, lighter & energetically restored as your nervous system has calmed on a cellular level; all ready to awaken with Spring.
We truly look forward to this empowering day with you.
