Paddleboard Yoga


Description

I’m delighted to be out on the river working with Paddleboard Maidenhead to explore yoga, breath-work, meditation and relaxation (and of course, some paddling)  out on the river, enjoying the gifts of nature. 

I’ll lead the retreats … and of course, we’ll have support from the Paddleboard Maidenhead team to ensure everyone feels safe, secure and can be as relaxed and confident as possible.  

You’ll enjoy..

  • Rejuvenating yoga river flow: (There’ll be modifications for beginners and the more advanced - ensuring the practice suits everyone).  

  • Paddle-boarding:  Whether a beginner or competent paddler - you’ll get to enjoy nature, the river and literally ‘go with the flow’. 

  • Breath-work: We’ll be exploring the power of pranayama. Learning how to use our breath to calm, reset and energise.

  • Restorative yoga practice: After some paddling and exploration of the river, the second part of our yoga will focus on slowing down our yoga practice to focus on getting present and enabling the body to deeply release and restore. 

  • Meditation / yoga nidra - final relaxation: The ultimate deep yogic sleep to allow you and your body to absorb all of your practice, restore, replenish and nourish mind, body and spirit. Drifting along on the water - fully embodied and connected. Bliss!

Menopause Yoga River Retreats

Menopause can be seen as an empowering transition into our ‘Second Spring’. Stepping into a new phase with confidence and compassion for who we are becoming. For the Menopause Yoga River Retreats - the yoga and breathing elements of the practice will focus on serving menopause symptoms, cooling ‘meno-rage’, supporting relaxation and releasing emotional tension, managing anxiety and feelings of sadness.  We’ll hold a ‘women’s circle’ - giving opportunity to talk to one another and share experiences, we’ll talk about the symptoms, natural remedies, raise and answer questions about hormones and HRT - and generally support one another with love, empathy, laughter and kindness.  I’ll share some inspirational reading and poetry to enable a sense of self-assuredness and connectedness and to lift our spirits and help you to realise that you are not on your own. As women, we really are all in menopause together - and of course… are stronger together.
