Root Down to Rise Up Retreat Weekend

‘Like a tree you have to find your roots before you can bend into the wind’ – Angela Farmer

The shift of season – one of adventure and exuberance to one of routine and introversion – can be a challenge to navigate gracefully. This weekend retreat has been designed specifically to help you find your centre and open your heart to the beauty that exists within this changing season and within you. Like a tree that sheds its leaves when summer ends you will practice letting go of past experiences and beliefs that no longer serve you and gift yourself the chance to bare a freer heart.

Aisling and Casey’s root-to-rise workshop-based yoga classes are intended to teach you how to go deeper into your practice through acceptance and create space to listen to your inner teacher. Learn how to use your breath to guide you through both grounding and uplifting apex yoga poses from splits to variations of wheel. Throughout the weekend, these sunny and playful yang practices are balanced by quiet and moonlight-still yin classes to leave you feeling nurtured, soul-fed and prepared to harvest autumn’s energy. 

While off the yoga mat, take time to bring joy to your heart: put your bare feet in the soil, feel them tickled by grass or dig your toes into the sand to experience healing, nourishment and a sense of grounding. Morning walks – with the option of silence – and afternoon free time will reconnect you with the wisdom and teachings of nature and ignite a compassionate and loving relationship with human spirit.
