Our Retreat

Yin yoga works on the yin tissues – also known as the connective tissues. Connective tissue responds best to a slow, steady load, which is why we hold the poses for longer. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time in this way, the body will respond by making it a little longer and stronger – which is exactly what you want.

Becoming still in a pose and staying for a while creates those gaps that I referred to earlier. Keeping the gaps empty creates space for anything that wants to come up. This could be anxiety, happiness, sadness, boredom …..... any emotion or feeling you suppress with all busyness in your life. Yin yoga gives you the time and space to allow emotions, thoughts and feelings you have kept in the shadows, to surface.

Embracing the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof method can generate some profound health benefits. Reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, improving sleep, quality, increasing concentration, and creating greater stress resilience can all be reached through the mix of mindset, breathwork and cold exposure.

We will explore all three of the pillars, including taking an ice-bath, and empower you with simple techniques that can be adopted in everyday life.

Meditation is the habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts. The popularity of meditation is increasing as more people discover its many health benefits. You can use it to increase awareness of yourself and your surroundings. Many people think of it as a way to reduce stress and develop concentration.

People also use the practice to develop other beneficial habits and feelings, such as a positive mood and outlook, self-discipline, healthy sleep patterns and even increased pain tolerance.

The way you breathe influences the way your body works and how it responds both external and internal stimuli. Embracing and controlling our "vital life force", we can consciously work our breath to bypass the mind and enter a different state of awareness. This is what most people seek when meditating, and breathwork takes us to that place very quickly.

The practice gives the brain's executive functioning something to focus on, so you can bypass the mental level of consciousness and drop into a deeper state of consciousness, where healing, spirit, and love reside.
