with Dina Cohen
9 days
4th Jan – 12th Jan 2024
Let’s begin the New Year clearing away the old, setting intentions for the new, and nourishing ourselves from the inside out and the outside in, with practices to sustain us through the ups and downs of the year ahead.
We’ll have early morning silent gatherings for quiet meditation and contemplation, before cleansing and stimulating breathing techniques prepare us for a daily energising and grounding Vinyasa Flow practice. We’ll play with fun sequencing, exploring possibilites for all levels and bodies, whilst building strength, flexibility and stability. In the afternoons we’ll regroup for a gentler more relaxing session of Yin and Restorative yoga as well as everyone’s favourite, Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation).
All the while enjoying the stunning surroundings, sensational sunsets and delicious meals with the friendly and efficient Bamboo team to look after us. What’s not to love?
After breakfast, in the shade of the seafront shala overlooking Polem beach, we’ll gather again for a dynamic Vinyasa Flow Yoga practice.
Starting with a slow and easy warm-up, gradually building in intensity, linking postures together in a creative flowing sequence. We will accommodate everyone’s needs and preferences, offering a supportive environment for both beginners and more experienced practitioners alike. Everyone will be encouraged to progress at their own pace. As the week progresses we will incorporate a variety of more challenging variations, playing with possibilities whilst building strength, stamina and flexibility.
After a delicious lunch and free time to lounge on the beach, get a massage or explore surrounding areas and local shops, we will regroup as the heat of the day begins to recede, for a gentler, more relaxing session of Yin and Restorative yoga. We might look at inversions, hip or shoulder openers, explore the guided relaxation of Yoga Nidra or some of the more esoteric/philosophical aspects of the practice. Finishing in time to marvel at yet another stunning sunset.
We will dine together at Bamboo in the evening (included in price).
There will be one half-day off mid-retreat for those who would like to explore further afield.
