“You possess that ability to make everyone in the room feel as if you are teaching to them. It’s really an interesting and special quality. You made me feel seen, heard and cared for after a one-minute interaction.”

LIVE EVENT
Autumn 2023 Retreat
October 13-15, 2023 - FULL
WAITLIST OPEN
‘Finding Centre’ is the theme of our autumn retreat in October. This is a yoga with meditation retreat that includes silent times, but is not a silent retreat in the strict sense.
Many of us live in our periphery - the perimeter of our Self - always responding to others or doing doing doing. Even our insides are energetically directed outward, so much so, that when we take the time to look inside we may find the need for both quiet and stillness, as well as meaningful presence in connection.
This is the theme we explore in practice and conversation this weekend. Yoga practices will be responsive and accessible.

This retreat is offered in the spirit of the Buddhist practice of dana - material expenses are covered by retreat participants, but teaching fees are offered at the end of the retreat at the discretion of the practitioner. This allows more people to participate in retreat and gives us the opportunity to practice truthfulness and generosity. Some guidelines on dana will be provided.

ONLINE COURSE
Yoga Nidra Foundations
Yoga Nidra is a research-backed form of guided meditation with a specific approach and journey. Nidra is premised on supportive presence, making it ideal for practitioners feeling fatigued, over-whelmed, needing additional support, or who have experienced trauma. As a potent practice, we must know how to facilitate and support in a way that promotes self-realization responsibly. As Yoga Nidra helps various needs, we will explore a variety of approaches, different Nidra content styles, and intended audiences.
This course is for yoga teachers, therapists, counsellors, health professionals, parents, and anyone interested in guiding others to relax while learning how to be present with their minds.
