HEALTHY MAYS

Mays and Scarlett will hold space for you throughout the retreat inviting you to move into a safe, effective and therapeutic yoga practice. With over 30 years teaching experience between us, we will both be present in every class, one teaching and the other guiding and adjusting to your individaul levels - a deep dive into yoga! If yoga is new to you as a beginner we will make sure you can access the postures with modifications suited to your level and if you are a long time practitioner or even yoga teacher we meet you where you are allowing you to take your practice to the next level.

We will start every morning with a Dynamic Yoga Practice based on elements from ashtanga vinyasa to activate your physical and energetic bodies. Using breathing techniques such as pranayama and guided meditations, we will support you to balance your physical, energetic, emotional and mental bodies.

In the afternoon we enjoy a different flavour of relaxing practices such as heart opening yin or hatha yoga. These meditative sessions are your invitation to slow down and cultivate a loving and gentle attitude to yourself allowing you to open and release at the level of the heart centre.

The evening practice of Yoga Nidra meditation will be a deeply restorative & relaxing practise to help send you off to a blissful sleep. Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep is shown in research to help reduce stress, anxiety, depression & improving mood disorders. If there is some habit or addiction that you are working to eliminate from your life, this magical practice could be the key to long term change and healing.
