MIXED RETREAT

I'm thrilled to be going back to Vale de Moses in 2022 as one of their guest teachers. I've hosted many retreats here and it's one of my favourite places to visit.
You will be lovingly taken care of by their incredible team, and the nature and the food is out of this world!
Please note that I am the yoga teacher for this retreat, but this retreat is organised and hosted by Vale de Moses.

FORREST YOGA IMMERSION
Breath // Integrity // Strength // Spirit
This retreat is open to everyone! All ages, sizes, and levels of yoga experience. You are all welcome here.
During our week together I will introduce you to the power of Forrest Yoga, a healing, empowering, intuitive, and strengthening practice developed over the past 45 years by Ana Forrest.
With 2 daily yoga practices, ceremony, chanting, walks in nature, nourishing food, and peaceful nights, expect to leave feeling rested and rejuvenated.
WHAT TO EXPECT
My retreats are much much more than just a yoga holiday. They are a sacred pause from daily life and our habitual patterns and routines.
They are a space for you to reflect on your life, to have some deeply restful and restorative time for you, to relax and connect deeply to nature, and to rediscover and explore your relationship to joy, pleasure and playfulness.
What I love about organising retreats, is that each time a completely unique group of people come together to share and participate in an adventure together. We have this sacred time together, and my intent is to help you make the most of it!
At the heart of all of my retreats, is embracing self acceptance, self love, and confronting fears and doubts that hold you back in life. We will practice a lot of yoga together. We will meditate, and music and ceremony will play a big part in our time together.
This is space for you to be yourself. Every single part of you is welcome on these retreats. It's a place for you to be seen, to be heard, and to be accepted for you are, and a space for you to do the same for others.

ABOUT FORREST YOGA
Created by Ana Forrest over the past 45 years, Forrest Yoga is an intensely physical practice that will make you sweat and ignite every cell in your body through deep breathing and powerful, healing poses.
Forrest Yoga teaches you to go deeper to find your truth, and encourages you to take these gifts you have earned beyond the mat and into the rest of your life.
Forrest Yoga honors and celebrates the beauty of life and the power of Spirit. It is an inspiring yoga practice that builds flexibility, intelligence and strength while helping deepen the relationship with your authentic self. Accessing your intuition - the voice of your Spirit - builds personal strength and ushers integrity into your daily interactions.
Forrest Yoga challenges you to heal, grow and welcome your Spirit home.
Forrest Yoga does not require strength or flexibility; it only requires a willingness to learn how to feel authentically and respond honestly. The practice is founded on four pillars -- Breath, Strength, Integrity and Spirit.
BREATH
Forrest Yoga teaches you how to breathe deeply, connect in feeling with your body, use the power of breath to bring aliveness into every cell of your body and ignite your passion for living.
STRENGTH
Forrest Yoga teaches you to connect to your core, to be strong and centered. The intense pose sequences are designed to help you develop the skills to awaken each of your senses. The long holds help you progress in the poses and go deeper. Aided by the use of heat, your body is freed from toxins; the deep breathing oxygenates and rejuvenates every cell in your body.
INTEGRITY
Forrest Yoga teaches you to become proficient at safely tailoring each pose to work best for you, particularly with physical and emotional injuries. By learning to work honestly at your edges, you develop effective tools to deal with fear and struggle. This makes it possible for integrity, self-awareness and playful curiosity to become part of your daily life.
SPIRIT
Forrest Yoga's intent is to create a sense of freedom, a connection to your Spirit and the courage to walk as your Spirit dictates.
