Slow Down Yoga Retreat

Slow down. Breathe deep. Move a little more gently. And give yourself permission to simply be. This retreat is an invitation to step out of the rush of everyday life and into a slower, softer rhythm. A week to reconnect with your body, soften the mind and create space for the things that often get pushed to the bottom of the list: rest, stillness, nature, pleasure and simply enjoying the moment.

Our practices will focus on slowing down and tuning in. Expect strong but gentle yoga, yin, restorative movement, breath work and meditation, with enough variety to keep your energy flowing while never feeling like another thing you have to do.

We’ll start our mornings slowly, with a strong and grounding practice, designed to wake up the body without rushing it into the day. After breakfast we have a little break and then we’ll come together for gentle activities that invite connection and presence. Think nature walks, journaling, breath work, meditation, ceremony, or creative practices.

After a deliciously nourishing lunch, there’s space for anything you feel at that moment. This is your time to rest, explore the island’s beautiful beaches or indulge in some serious “dolce far niente”.

As the day comes to a close, we’ll return to the mat for a deeply soothing evening practice. Expect slower movement, longer holds and plenty of stillness. The intention for these practices is to leave you feeling grounded, relaxed and deliciously sleepy.

Renting a car gives you the best flexibility during the week if you would like to explore the island a bit during free time. We will go to the beach with a van at least twice that week (included).

On arrival day there are no classes, we want everyone to land well, feel welcomed and to rest from your travel.
