SGP COASTAL RETREAT

Posted on by SGP

MAY 20-22 2022 inclusive , check those numbers out!!!!

bookings are open again for 2022 retreat, at the time of writing this there are only 3 rooms left, so do get in touch as soon as possible if you are interested in joining us.

Set in the beautiful village of Mortehoe in North Devon, amongst the best beaches and coastline protected by National Trust. Right on the South West Coast Path.

Your stay is in the lovely Smugglers Rest, which has undergone extensive renovations over the last 2 years offering gorgeous ensuite rooms and AMAZING food in their own bistro.

Sessions are held 1 minute walk away in the sweet village hall next to the church and coast.

Sessions include Yoga Flow, Yoga Chill, Pilates, Garuda, a workshop, meditation, soundbath and gong bath

There are options to add on private studio sessions, duo studio sessions, massage, sound therapy, surf lessons, paddle board hire or just swim and play, read, walk in your spare time.

The Retreat is designed to optimise your stay so 3 days feels like you have had a long break away from the normality of life.

Advising you to arrive early Friday to walk, lunch out, sit on the beach and read, or book in your private sessions and then the group will meet and start at 2pm for coffee, tea and cake followed by your first movement session at 4pm followed by a SoundBath to take you into deep relaxation.

What’s included

Ensuite Room

3 course meals Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday lunch time

Breakfast and hot drink/juice Saturday and Sunday

take away lunch Saturday

Classes, workshops, meditations and Soundbaths

goody bag

fun, laughter, connection, joy, stunning scenery

what is not included

drinks, equipment due to covid you are expected to bring your own mats, blankets, bolsters/cushions

2 yoga bricks , long yoga strap – ( these can be supplied by myself and bought in advance ready for your arrival)

treatments or one to ones

I throughly recommend

I thoroughly recommend you book an extra night Sunday (this can be arranged on booking, if they are not booked out already so please check in asap)

Sunday lunch is usually around 2/2:30 it seems a shame to rush off, so staying an extra night gives you time to digest, go for a walk, and continue the wellbeing experience and that gift of time to yourself. A nice breakfast Monday, a final walk on the beach or a one to one session before you head off home leisurely. It makes sense, right?

you deserve it!

I look forward to sharing a retreat with you, if not this one maybe another. Retreats gift us time to replenish, feed our soul, learn something new about ourselves and build bondings with like minded souls

YOU DESERVE IT.

lots of love

Sound Immersion

Posted on by SGP

Lie, be still, immerse yourself in sound vibrations and frequencies, taking you on a journey into deep relaxation and altered state of consciousness.

Using Himalayan bowls, gongs, crystal bowls and percussive instruments.

This journey is totally unique to you how you experience it, and each soundbath will also be unique in itself.

Soundbaths can bring about immense changes on every level of being: physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual.

We will start this session with setting an intention and breath awareness meditation as we then settle into a respectful silence.

The sounds will then start to play, dancing in and around you as your analytical brain tries to make sense of the sounds , it finally gives in and the creative brain emerges.

Ending with Sunyata- the nonexistence of the elements of things and of the self, the liberating feeling that arises during meditation, the sense of freedom from ones thoughts and distractions. In this silence we let the healing work of the sounds be experienced.

Relax, be and surrender to the sounds in this sonic immersion.

I look forward to sharing the space with you.

invite you to step away from the daily “have to’s” and pressures to come and

indulge, nourish, nurture and replenish, finding sanctuary for your soul

Lie, be still and be bathed in sound.

Connect back to YOU. Your time.

Gentle yoga, moving through asanas and breath to release built up tension and make space in our bodies and mind so we can feel more ease and flow

Sound Baths help trigger the relaxation response helping us to return to our natural resonance and harmony creating positive wellbeing.

Sound can be our anchor to help us shift our focus away from the constant fluctuations of the mind, allow us to be present, absorbing the sounds, it is possible to release tensions, discomforts, release emotional pressure, gain clarity and insights, feel grounded, it can help with burn out and frustrations and help us find joy and calm.
