CELTIC DAY RETREATS

CELTIC DAY RETREATS

The Ancient Celtic Wheel of the Year gives us the opportunity to connect more deeply to Nature and the seasons so that we can create an ease and flow in our everyday living.

At Woodland Yoga we celebrate the well know Solstice and Equinox, also know as Solar Festivals. See the Winter Solstice Celebration page for our next event.

In between these festivals we celebrate the lesser known Fire Festivals with a whole Day Retreat. Our next one on Sun 27 October will be based around Samhain (pronounced Saw-win), the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year.

Nature is getting ready to let go and move into a time of rest and renewal. Can we follow her wisdom and accept this period of release to turn inwards, to nurture new dreams and new seeds of intentions?

The turning of the seasons gives us the opportunity to recognise and honour new beginnings in the midst of endings.

Taking time out from the material world is essential to keep mind-body-spirit balanced and healthy. Making your wellbeing a priority will keep you feeling replenished and vibrant ready for the shorter days ahead. As we learn to keep in harmony with the seasons we naturally encourage a flow and ease to return.

This day retreat will be filled with:

• energising and awakening flowing yoga practices
• meditative yin yoga and restorative postures to relax and heal the body
• pranayama and chanting to awaken the bodies subtle energies
• mindful barefoot walking in the forest to connect with Mother Earth
• delicious homemade healthy lunch 
• mindfulness techniques that you can take away to integrate into your life
• deep yoga nidra session which will be recorded so you can develop a home practice

No experience necessary, just a love of Nature and the outdoors!
