Restorative yoga:
This has been a game changer for your teacher Phoenix Arrien. She has resolved much of previous body pain, vertigo, migraines and stress through this gentle yoga.
Restorative yoga is a restful practice that helps you slow and open your body through passive stretching, breath and slowness.
In this kind of yoga you do not move much, it is more about settling and letting go into the poses that are designed to help you release tension without much effort.
This practice of deep relaxation emphasises the meditative aspect of yoga—the union of body and mind. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held effortlessly.
Restorative yoga is very useful for stress relief, increased relaxation, better sleep, improved wellbeing, is a mood uplifter, helps with pain reduction and is very gentle and supportive of your body joints. It can be done by most people regardless of age and ability.
Practicalities:
We will be outside in nature if good weather and/or in a Marquee with rugs, cushions and chairs, heater or fan. The house has a fridge if needed and a comfortable gathering lounge space and fireplace if weather is challenging.
Outside of the program or if you stay the night before or night after, you can relax on the hammock, watch the birdlife, reflect by the river, explore the forest walking trails or do nothing at all. Relaxing and fulfilling time is offered according to what you feel like.
We have the ideal location and experiences for a relaxing day for you to later emerge with less tension and stress and more clarity, ease and energy.
Location:
Mountain Riverside SoulSong Sanctuary is an eco-friendly retreat, just over an hour from Melbourne but a world away from the city, consisting of 2 beautiful acres of tall trees and lush ferns bordered by a burbling brook and backed by state forest. Birds and wildlife visit, the air is fresh and you can see the sky in the day and stars at night. People find it very tranquil and welcoming.
A house with a lovely back deck with views to forest and creek grace the property, along with accommodation, camping and a heated/fanned marquee for group gathering.
Enquiries for private days for your group, workplace, family, friends day out, etc are welcome.
