With Anna Taylor

A Day of Mindful, Compassionate Yoga.

So often the demands of life mean that our energy and awareness are cast outwardly into the world. We can feel as if we are forever active and distracted with little space to pause and tune inwards.

We all need moments when our care and attention can gently fall back on ourselves and this day retreat will offer you the time and space for just that.

Through both movement and stillness we will learn how to meet ourselves with mindful, compassionate awareness; opening gently to ourselves and tuning into the felt sense of our bodies, hearts and minds.

Rather than our yoga practice being another thing we need to ‘do’, we will reframe it as offering ourselves space to ‘be’, to breathe, to listen and tend to our varying needs. 

The day will incorporate self-compassion and self-soothing practices of self-compassion so that rather than meeting ourselves from a place of pushing, demanding, judging or analysing, it offers space to gently explore and tenderly respond to what we find.

My intention is that the day will allow you to gently return to your everyday life feeling more reconnected, revived and inspired.
