The Art of Slowing Down – Mini Yoga & Wellness Retreat

Service Description

Join us at The Stretch Studio for a beautiful, restorative mini-retreat, giving you the space and time to slow down, unwind and enjoy a little time just for you. We'll begin with a slow, traditional Mountain Series yoga practice, bringing mindful movement to the upper body, helping to release tension, improve mobility and gently awaken the body. We'll then move into a deeply relaxing gentle lower-body restorative Yin practice, with longer-held postures designed to gently work into the deeper connective tissues and fascia, encouraging greater mobility, flexibility and a sense of release. With time to settle into each posture and connect with your breath, this slower practice offers an opportunity to quieten the mind, soften physical tension and find a little more peace and calm. We'll then ease into Yoga Nidra, a guided practice of deep rest and relaxation, allowing the body to settle and the mind to drift into a peaceful, meditative state. Our session will finish with a beautiful sound bath, using soothing sounds and vibrations to create a tranquil space for you to completely let go and simply be. And because a little time to yourself should include a little treat, we'll finish our afternoon together with herbal tea and delicious homemade-style treats, including bliss balls, in the cosy surroundings of the studio. No previous yoga experience is necessary. This is a slow, gentle and inclusive practice, suitable for all levels and abilities. A little time away from the everyday, to breathe, rest, restore and leave feeling lighter, calmer and more connected.
