Fri 23rd – Sun 25th September 2016 From £310pp Sharing A weekend retreat including energising morning yoga, restorative evening yoga and 3 meditation sessions with time to enjoy the natural surroundings, go on walks, relax in the beautiful walled garden or head for the beach. Staying 2 nights in the West wing of Wiveton Hall. Situated on the North Norfolk coast between Blakeney and Cley-‐next-‐the-‐Sea, Wiveton Hall is a dreamy, flint-‐ faced, Dutch-‐gabled, Jacobean manor house built in the 17th century. Fully catered for with a delicious vegetarian and whole foods diet – take the chance to unwind, rejuvenate and restore body, mind and soul in the gorgeous grounds, soaking up the fresh sea air and relaxing in the serene setting.
YOGA AND MEDITATION Each day will begin with a 30-‐minute guided meditation followed by an energising Vinyasa Flow yoga class. This will awaken the body and warm you up for the day. The evening classes will be more restorative to stretch out tired or tense muscles, helping you to sleep and wake up feeling rejuvenated. This retreat can be a great introduction for beginners to yoga, as well as building on knowledge for those with more experience and who want to challenge and enhance their practice. ABOUT THE YOGA PRACTICE Lisa Dunn & Penina Reynolds both teach Vinyasa Flow yoga, a dynamic style of Yoga, where movement is synchronised to the breathe. Every pose connects and flows from one to another to become almost like a dance. The classes, though at times vigorous, are always accessible and modified to the level of the student. They teach creative and intelligently sequenced classes that include a warm up and a cool down to keep the body safe from injury. The classes are energizing and breath-‐focused to encourage strength, flexibility and awareness -‐ which will leave you feeling recharged, revived, and centred.
