Benefits
One-of-a-kind retreat that combines the benefits of daily yoga and meditation with the power of good nutrition and food for women’s health.
Our 3 day/2night programme comprises a total of 4 yoga and meditation sessions, 2 nutrition and healthy cooking classes plus daily vegetarian meals so that when you go home you feel healthier, centred, motivated and armed with a new range of tools to face daily life.
With our full body and mind approach will meet you where you are, and you will also feel nurtured and supported by the group. We have learnt from previous retreats how powerful this combination can be. We just can not wait to have you there!
The morning Yoga Flow and Meditation class is centred on movements coordinated with the breath. Agata will remind you to bring your awareness back to the breath which will allow you to go deeper into the experience of being one with the body energy and mind. This class focuses on rejuvenation and gentle warming, starting the fire within the body that transforms. As cyclical moon creatures, we will work on getting rid of the old, and making space to bring the new.
The evening Restorative Yoga revolves around resting yoga poses and deep relaxation.
Additionally, guided meditations are a lovely way to let go and be guided by Agata’s soothing voice to enter a deep relaxing state of awareness.
Participants will attend 2 (2hr long each) Nutrition and Healthy Cooking classes where they will be involved in food preparation, cooking and tasting.
Recipes will feature feel-good foods for women and discover the secret of balanced meals including healthy fats, carbs and snacks.
