with Anandana & Mimi

Spring is the season of rebirth and renewal. It’s the perfect season to leave behind old patterns, reset and make space for new possibilities and growth.

The journey of life can so easily drown out our inner voice – a voice that speaks with authenticity, clarity, and wisdom, if we only make the time and space to listen and hear what it has to tell us.

This retreat will create the space for you to tune into your authentic feelings, gently let go of all that does not serve you any longer, and create space for things that bring you peace and fulfilment as you move forward.

This nurturing spring retreat is for anyone looking to reconnect to that deep reservoir of peace and serenity that exists within us all. Through connection with the heart and inner voice, we can plant and cultivate our truest intentions to lead us to our most joyful new beginnings in the year ahead.

How the retreat will unfold:

• 10am —Intention Setting & Tea Ceremony
  Start your day meeting your hosts on the grounds of the beautiful Oak House, where you will be served a special home made Ayurvedic herbal tea concoction, and set your intention for the day.

• 10.30am- Refreshing Springtime Nature Trail & Grounding Practise
  Guided nature trail within the expansive grounds of Hatfield House, soaking in the refreshing energy of the springtime. This will be the perfect setting to do a grounding practise, connecting with nature, the elements and our heart space. Letting go of the old, and bringing in the new you.

• 11.30am - Surya Namaskar Yoga with Anandana
  Starting with Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation which is a sequence of 12 powerful yoga poses. This will energise you and have an immensely positive impact on the body and mind, guiding you to a wonderful session further. Yoga mats and yoga blocks will be provided.

• 12.30 - Reviving Spring Yoga with Anandana
  Spring yoga will help you create space in your body for the new, wringing out sluggishness accumulated over winter and releasing frustration and anger, emotions associated with the imbalances in spring. Yoga practice at such time will reawaken your vitality and encourage you to renew your commitment to your wellbeing and healing deep within, just as renewal occurs in nature. It’s a great way to release soreness and tightness in the muscles and tendons, which so many of us experience in spring due to liver chi imbalances. We will look at some twists, side stretches and chest openers - to help relieve congestion and stimulate the lungs and abdominal organs as well as improve the body’s digestion, detoxification and elimination processes. Finishing our practice with some Yin Yoga, where the longer-held postures will stimulate energy flow to the liver by targeting the liver and gallbladder meridian lines: the channels through which Ki, chi or prana (life force energy) flows. Yoga mats, blankets, cushions and yoga blocks will be provided.

• 1.30pm - Lunch
  Bring along a light packed lunch to eat within the beautiful grounds of the Oak House, or within the expansive grounds of Hatfield House. The Coach House Restaurant in Hatfield House is also open for lunch. Please be mindful not to eat a very heavy lunch, which might make you lethargic during your afternoon practise. Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
