RELAX & RESTORE

September 15 - 20 (5 nights) - FULL
September 30 - October 4 (4nights)

The concept of this retreat is very close to my heart. In todays world slowing down is kind of a radical decision. For quite a few years now I have been passionate about practices that allow us to pause, to be more present in our bodies in a gentle and nourishing way.
The daily morning and evening yoga session will combine the Yin and Yang ways to move and be in our bodies, combining different approaches and modalities. The balanced movement diet includes somatic practices and meditations,  Yin yoga, Yang yoga flows for strength and stability, QiGong, rest and relaxation orientated Restorative poses, meditation and pranayama. 
​  
Here are two links to blogs posts that might be of interest if you new to the Yin/Restorative realm or even wonder why slow yoga in the first place.  

You will have plenty of free time during the day to stay in the villa and relax or go to explore the nearby villages and markets or rest by the seaside. 

The shared accommodation during the retreat is comfortable and beautiful.  There is: 

• one apartment (bathroom, kitchen, balcony - very suitable for a couple or a family)  
• one apartment for 5 people with 1 double room with two singe beds and 3 single bedrooms. The apartment has 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living-room and a terrace. 

The closest small town is Diano Marina (3 km down the hill); in 6 km you reach a gorgeous medieval seaside village Cervo full of history, good food, excellent wine and scenic views; there's a long coast line for beach-time, walks or cycling trips. 

Your destination Diano Marina is about 3h train-ride from Milan or 2,5 hours by car. Other closer airports are Genova (1 h by train/car) and Nice, France (1,5h by car/2,5 h by trains). These travel arrangements you have to make on your own, but I am happy to assist with any questions you might have. We will pick you up from Diano train station.
