Program
Do you often feel overwhelmed by the pace of life? Would you like a more easeful and healthy relationship with food? Are you kind to yourself even when things are going wrong? If you are looking for balance, transformation, and profound rest then join Michelle Levi for a few days of yoga and related practices that focus on finding ways to be more kind, nurturing, and compassionate to yourself.
As you take time away from your usual stressors, you can bring some fresh awareness to your habitual ways of thinking and consciously encourage a more generous attitude toward yourself and others.
The yoga will be suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners. Michelle Levi has over 20 years of practice in teaching a range of abilities.
- Hatha yoga
- Meditation
- Pranayama
- Guided reflections
- Mindfulness of eating - for improved digestion
- Yoga Nidra - transformative inner journeying
- Bhajans - singing from the heart
- Fire ceremony
- Relaxation - massage, walking, fun, and laughter
All in all, the schedule, the venue and location, and the generous care from the team will ensure that you are safely held in a nurturing environment making way for deep relaxation, growth, and healing. There will be some silent periods to give you the freedom to truly connect with your inner landscape without worrying about others. You will explore mindfulness of eating to improve your relationship with food and enhance your digestion.
In the evenings, you will enjoy a little time to sing together. With no need for musical ability, singing is a gentle form of exercise. It works the lungs and heart, oxygenates the blood, and generates endorphins - happy hormones. You are invited to arrive from 4:30 p.m. with the first session beginning at 5:30 p.m.
