Sam Alexander-Vasey
Sam is a yoga teacher, immersive workshop leader, reiki practitioner, mentor and coach. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance and completed her initial yoga teacher training at a beautiful residential training school in Rishikesh. She is particularly interested in exploring how yogic principles, practices and lifestyle can be used in the West as a way of creating greater peace, fulfilment, belonging and joy in a world that sometimes feels set up to put these things perpetually just beyond our reach.

Description

Join us at the Balance Wellness Centre in Knaresborough as we connect with the theme of balance and explore the ways that balance is important in our minds, bodies and lives.

In this retreat day we will connect with the theme of balance, through a range of discussions, yoga and qigong practices and breathing and meditations. We will also end the day with a deeply replenishing Yoga Nidra, one of the most wonderful practices for exploring opposites and allowing every aspect of our being to find peace, stillness and ease.

The retreat will include the following key elements:
☯ Meditation and mindfulness practices
☯ Awakening hatha yoga flows and stretches
☯ Qigong for Balance
☯ Stories, poetry and group sharing
☯ Nourishing Yoga Nidra for balance

Who is this for?
The retreat is suitable for all abilities and everyone from experienced yogis to complete beginners are welcome. Full instruction is given for all postures and more advanced versions are available for those wanting to go deeper. The only requirement is an open mind and a curious spirit to explore how the ancient practices of yoga, meditation and qigong can support you to flourish in the modern world.

The Retreat Day is £40 for the full day of yoga, meditation, qigong and teachings.
