Come and slow down with us in this winter weekend of stillness and gentle movement in the middle of nature.
The yoga classes will be gentle with one or two exceptions. We are moving with the pace of nature, creating space for recovery and introspection. When the body comes to rest, the mind calms down. And when the mind calms down, we can get in touch with our essence, our being and our truth.
The food will be vegetarian and made by Amy. She is a gastronomic wizard who creates flavours that will make you body and being dance.
We are looking forwards to having you!
