I invite you to join me for 3 nights at the lovely Lookout Lodge, located 15 minutes from Wanaka.
It's time to awaken and enliven our spirit after the colder, darker months of winter.
This is the season to sow the seeds for new beginnings, create and grow new ideas, perhaps even find a new purpose.
Let's spring clean our mind and body
.....and I've found the perfect place!
Central Otago is renown for its breathtaking mountain landscapes and we're in the midst of it at Lookout Lodge. Our private location and unique alpine setting makes this the ideal yoga retreat venue. Stunning views from every window. Nature's beauty at its best.
How does 4 days of yoga, self-care and self-inquiry with a group of
like-minded women sound? And if the weather plays its part, two days of lakeside and bush hikes.
Whilst on retreat we'll tap into the mythology of the Goddesses to inspire, guide and support us, and cultivate self-compassion.
About the yoga and meditation
Our day begins with a 30 minute early morning seated meditation. It will be a guided session which is perfect if you're new to meditation. Generally we sit cross-legged, but sitting in a chair is always an option. This is a wonderful way to greet the new day.
After a short break our morning yoga class begins. We start with a gentle warm up to wake up our body. I'll introduce you to some heating pranayama (breathing practice). Our practice builds in intensity to where we hold poses to build strength and stability with clear alignment cues. Variations of postures will be offered, so all levels of experience and physical conditions are comfortable. Yoga props are supplied and their use is encouraged!
Our afternoon class will be a restorative or yin practice. Our 90 minute class is spent on the floor....it's very relaxing! Props will be used extensively to allow us to rest deeply in order to restore our energy. This class will help to calm our nervous system. A perfect antidote after our hike.
After dinner a Yoga Nidra practice will be offered. This is a lying down guided relaxation session, an ideal preparation for sleep and the beginning of silence until breakfast the next morning.
Each class will build on itself. All classes are optional, but recommended! You'll be supported by me throughout the retreat and I look forward to sharing the power of yoga and meditation with you.
