Rest & Rejoice!

Welcome, welcome, beautiful beings from far & wide, it's time for us to gather together to rest & rejoice in celebration of summer!

You are invited to a full-day Yoga retreat in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, an exploration into the true nature of Yoga.

What is Yoga?

True Yoga is a way of life.

True Yoga embodies the physical, mental, and spiritual systems that help us bring the body and mind into balance.

True Yoga is an inspirational guide to overcoming difficulties and creating sustainable joy.

True Yoga is learning how to rest consciously.

True Yoga is integrity, honesty, kindness & presence.

Rest & Rejoice!

"Be kind, forgive, love more, share, serve, eat healthy, move your body, do Yoga, commune with nature, meditate & pray." The recipe for creating a life you love.

Many people are 'put off' by the idea of Yoga, as they have this pre-conceived idea that they need to be super flexible, strong, and spiritually minded. But the truth is, none of this matters.

Yoga is not just Asana (movement), Yoga is a philosophy, Yoga is how we choose to live our lives, which actions we take, and how we think, and there are many different tools that we can use to help us along the way.

At the Rest & Rejoice Retreat, I want to introduce you to lots of different ways of practicing Yoga, in the hope that you will find one (or perhaps more) practice(s) that you enjoy and can continue to use as a tool to assist you in elevating your own life to greater levels of joy and abundance.

What to Expect:

All ages, genders, and levels of experience are welcome at this retreat, from absolute beginners to seasoned Yogis.

We will be exploring the following practices:

• Mantra: Spoken word/prayer/sound meditations
• Mudra: Hand & body gestures
• Yam/Niyam Philosophy: The 10 foundations of Yoga
• Pranayama: Conscious breath work
• Kundalini Asana: Poses/Postures to help expand your aura & chakras(energy field & nerve centers)
