This retreat offers sessions to nourish many levels of our being from the powerfully physical to the quiet space within. Each yoga session will build upon the previous session logically and sequentially. In between, Menla offers a magical array of mountain walks, nourishing food, supportive company, spa treatments, and the quietness of your own self care.
Yoga ultimately teaches us to find a sense of retreat within ourselves where we can re-align and re-energize physically, mentally and emotionally regardless of our external circumstances. For many of us, this experience becomes more accessible and profound when we withdraw for an extended period of time from our usual routine and environment to a place that supports mindfulness and slowing down. Without the distractions, responsibilities and stresses of our daily life, we have an opportunity to touch the depth of our practice; gain insight and perspective, re-assess our circumstances and weave that understanding into the way we live our lives.
Eve will lead two daily extended yoga classes suitable for all levels. As the retreat progresses, we will build upon a steady foundation of fundamental principles, towards a deeper, more refined practice that addresses individual needs, and develops each student’s skills and abilities, bringing physical, mental and emotional strength and stamina.
