Are you looking to go deeper with the yoga experience? Experience deep relaxation and explore the benefits of yoga nidra? Enjoy ashram-style living for the day at rural retreat place Viveka Gardens Yoga Farm.
The theme for the day is Summer Solstice. We’ll be looking at fullness and turning, setting intentions for the next stage of the year. Likewise, in the garden there’ll be harvesting and sowing.
This day will energise your yoga practise and relax your being. Take time out to get perspective, nurture and nourish yourself. Enjoy the peace of rural mid-Devon and soak in the prana of nature. A chance to unwind and revive.
This day retreat includes a yoga class with yoga nidra, a workshop with second longer nidra, karma yoga, a delicious vegan lunch, tea and a snack.
Viveka Gardens Yoga Farm: a retreat place where community and visitors can ground themselves through yoga practices and food growing, and so connect with their true self to embody peace and unity.
By the end of the workshop you will:
Have experienced two nidras and reflected on what nidra can do for you
Have formulated or developed a personal sankalpa
Know about the stages of nidra and their rationale in terms of neurophysiology, psychology and yoga philosophy
Sankalpa, Sanskrit meaning intention, life-purpose, heart’s prayer, can be an affirmation that goes deep into your psyche to support you in your aims. Yoga nidra is also an opportunity for information to rise from the subconscious.
