A warm welcome to the Yoga and food growing retreat
Yoga and food growing! Connect and ground yourself. Enjoy the peace of rural mid-Devon and soak in the prana of nature. A chance to unwind and revive. We’ll be practising yoga, doing gardening, cooking, eating and practicing nidra and meditating together. There will be time for rest and personal reflection too.
You’ll have a chance to develop your understanding of yoga and learn some horticulture. Specifically on this April retreat we’ll be sowing, pricking out (yes, that’s an actual term) seedlings and working on other seasonal jobs.
This is a retreat for people at mixed levels of yoga experience and options will be given in the class. As ever, ‘maturity’ in practice is about breath awareness and connection, which will be facilitated whatever the fitness and mobility.
