Sacred Rest Retreat is moving beyond relaxation, into deep restoration of body & reconnection to Spirit.
Join this rejuvenating & uplifting one day immersive retreat where you will be invited into a dedicated space, with intentional energetic practices, devotional connection to the sacred, with an invitation to purify and awaken dormant energy.
We will be working on the inner levels, releasing all holding, blocks & stress which represent the unconscious, restructuring the energetic frequency of your life. Allow yourself to be subtly yet deeply guided into relaxed action, deep states of surrender, connecting within, abiding in inner stillness and renewing spiritual conductivity. This is a process of awakening; where you can open up to a greater sense of who you are as the eternal Spirit.
Spirituality is the heart & soul of yoga and yet it so common today to be offered only the physical form of yoga, but there is so much more that lays beneath the surface, and we will be tapping into it.
The intention behind this retreat is to offer you a direct experience; from philosophy to embodied unity, through an integrative approach to yoga where we marry both the form (physical postures) with the eternal formless (energetic connection through the 5 Koshas).
This is a returning to the heart of yoga through devotional practices & Divine attunement, in combination with a grounded strong and deep physical practice. Receive the countless benefits by experiencing yoga as a moving meditation, restorative yoga with supports, yoga nidra, meditation, pranayama, invocation, prayer, chanting, self-reflection & blessing ritual.
Are you ready to awaken the inner dimension of life?
