"It's not only moving that creates new starting points. Sometimes all it takes is an intentional pause and reset." — Kristin Armstrong

You're warmly invited to join me, closer to home, for a monthly reset and restorative retreat in North London and if you're unfamiliar with my practice you can read some client reviews HERE .

WHAT WILL THE RETREAT INVOLVE?

Mat Pilates Workshop - Many of my students will know that I teach a wide range of mat Pilates classes which cater for beginners to advanced levels and across classical, dynamic and HIIT styles. The London day retreat sessions will still challenge your core stability, but in addition, we will deconstruct and then reconstruct a particular principle with the corresponding exercises; and as the class sizes are smaller, there will be more opportunity for individual coaching and correction. If you've ever wanted to improve both, your understanding of and your progress within, Pilates, these workshops are for you.

Vin To Yin Yoga - I often say that yoga is my heartbeat, not only as it's the first discipline I qualified in, but because I consider it a gift to share my practice with others. For the London Day Retreats, you are invited and will be guided to balance the energetic yang energy of vinyasa flows with the calming and more grounding energy of yin practice. This will provide the perfect foundation for the crystal sound bowl mediation, which follows thereafter and allow your body to release any residual tension and fully relax.

Candlelit Crystal Sound Bowl & Instrument Meditation - Sound bath meditation draws from the belief that everything is in a constant state of movement and emits a vibrational frequency that can be measured and recorded. This means that when the vibrations from the quartz crystal sound bowls reach our physical bodies, they are receptive to absorb the frequencies and calm the body and mind. With a different theme each time to ground your thoughts and colour changing glowing candles, you'll be invited to let go as you're immersed in the blended sounds of crystal glass bowls, drums, chimes and other instruments.

Sharing Circle - Often, after classes, there's insufficient time for reflection and sharing, so my London Day Retreats will provide an opportunity to learn from each other but also to consider how we can maintain the feeling of calmness and serenity long after the session has closed. There's no obligation to share but the space and time will be yours to use in whatever way feels right.

All the above are designed to leave you feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and ready for the new week and month ahead.

WHERE & WHEN?

The London Day Retreat will be held in a light and airy ground floor studio at Woodhouse College, Woodhouse Road, London N12 9EY from 11am - 2pm.
