Reverting the twist of the spine requires understanding of how it is, here and now, then carefully working out a strategy of unwinding and moving back towards a comfortable centre. During our time together we will :-
Relax and listen in to our bodies rhythm and direction. Wholeheartedly explore strong foundations. Mindfully breathe into the spaces we notice. Purposefully moving, opening and empowering weaker musculature. Actively take responsibility and joy for the changes we create. We will practice together for half of each day, share in a healthy organic lunch and light supper which is provided and you will have plenty of time in between to rest, reflect, read or walk in the magnificent countryside. Your gîte (home to stay) is a 5 minute walk away. See 'Gîtes' for more. |

The energy of yoga calls to the powerful feminine aspect to rise, to be seen and heard.
The power of yoga insists that we tend to our own needs so we are free of expectation from others. The alchemy of yoga transforms our view of the world and our place in it. It is liberating and joyful! Come and join us as we play, practice, reflect and rest, honouring who we are and giving space to evoke our imagination and access our potential into which we desire to expand and move towards. Yoga asana, Shaking, Pranayama, Meditation which will be offered twice a day. A delicious daily lunch is provided. Optional shared supper. |

'I honestly had such a wonderful welcoming experience staying at blue echoes for my first ever retreat, Nikki is an excellent yoga teacher, she is both highly intuitive, extremely gentle with the body and also very informative explaining in some depth the purpose behind each move. The food was outstanding, freshly made using local ingredients everyday and unlimited herbal teas using fresh mint and sage leafs picked from the garden. We were surrounded by beautiful countryside and breathtaking views and walks. I would also highly recommend having a cranial for your own unique deep body and mind relaxation experience. You’ll love the whole experience, can’t wait to go back soon.'
