Seasonal practices enable us to nurture, support and unite mind, body, soul and spirit in harmony. Working with the cycles of nature creates a sense of balance and ease.

Step into a sanctuary of warmth and renewal as we gather to honour the Winter season. This nurturing day retreat is designed to help you slow down, rest deeply, and reconnect with your inner light.

We’ll begin with a slow and gentle Hatha yoga practice, moving slowly and intentionally to align body and breath with the grounding energies of Winter. A soothing Yin yoga session focusing on the Kidney and Bladder meridians will guide us deeper, inviting stillness and reflection in harmony with the quiet of the season.

Throughout the day, there will be space for journaling and guided meditation prompts, offering moments of personal reflection as we honour the season of Winter Solstice. You’ll be nourished by a delicious vegetarian lunch, prepared with care to warm and comfort.

We’ll close with a deeply restful Restorative yoga practice, accompanied by the soothing sounds of Crystal and Himalayan Singing Bowls, leaving you restored, balanced, and gently renewed.

Join us in this sacred pause — a day to embrace stillness, comfort, and the quiet beauty of Winter.
