Sara Leathes Yoga Retreat 2012
| Thursday 7 June – Thursday 14 June |
“We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains”
Over the years Sara has developed her own individual style of teaching, gathering inspiration from nature, poetry and the ancient sacred texts. She has personally gone through many and varied training hoops, but is now more interested in drawing the “core light” from her students rather than the attainment of the perfect pose. As an ex-dancer she sees the body as a superb vehicle for the exploration of energy flow in asanas, and with pranayama, chanting and meditation, her classes are a supportive place of peace and trust.

08.00 Pre-breakfast (fruit and fruit juices)
08.30 Meditation (optional)

Yoga of Sound Retreat 2012
| Tuesday 26 June – Tuesday 3 July 2012 |
Silence through sound
Time of the timeless
Space that is spaceless
Stillness in movement.
Led by Russell and Polly Stone
Following on from last year’s hugely successful retreat in the beautiful Ligurian hills, and in response to requests for a repeat experience, we are delighted to announce that there will be a retreat in June 2012.
Yoga of Sound is a process that uses the voice in a vocal technique called Sounding, a way of singing without words that needs no previous experience (go to www.yogaofsound.co.uk for more details). This deepens inner exploration of self in a gentle, compassionate and loving way. People may experience shifts in consciousness that bring them to a deeper understanding of their depth and breadth (koshas) that is not acknowledged in our modern-day culture.
Self-limiting patterns (kleshas) are recognized as such and ways to break through these limitations are explored.
Polly is a British Wheel of Yoga teacher who explores the mind through the body in a way that is inspired by her own inner journey. The emphasis of her yoga is on gentle flowing movements leading to stillness.
Between them they will facilitate deeper understanding of mind-body-soul connections through the use of the voice, gentle asana practice, relaxation and contemplation. This retreat will help participants come to a deeper understanding of themselves and others, bringing habitual patterns in relationships to the surface and creating new ways of being.
Approximate daily schedule:-
07.15 Early morning Sounding to greet the day
08.00 Fruit and fruit juices
09.00 Asanas leading to Yoga Nidra and Sounding
12.00 Brunch
18.30 Dinner
20.00 Sounding + group dialogue & meditation (most days)
In the afternoons participants have the opportunity of a one-to-one with Russell to explore any emotional issues that may arise and a one-to-one with Polly to explore individual asana practice.
Cost for the week (excluding air fare) is £730 (pounds sterling) and includes:–
- Airport (Nice) transfers, and transport for local excursions during the week
- 7 Nights B & B in twin rooms (there is an opportunity for two non-residential single rooms)
- Fruits and brunch
- 5 in-house 3-course evening meals plus 2 evening meals at a local restaurant
- A mountain walk with Sounding
- One day's relaxation when you can explore one of the beautiful local mountain villages
- Use of swimming pool, garden, terraces, sitting room with library of books
The wonderful evening meals cooked by our hostess Marina will be vegetarian but also include some fish.
The retreat will be alcohol and recreational drug free to facilitate deeper self-connection.
Please bring a yoga mat.
Numbers are limited to 12 people, 10% (£70) deposit, balance to be paid by 10th May. (Cheques should be made
payable to Valerie Stone and sent to address below).
