A YOGA RETREAT IN SALVAN MAY 8-12 2024

LETTING GO TO GROW

It’s a moment to pause, a few days suspended in time to turn in, think about what needs to be addressed, change thus transformed through the act of letting go.

Time in the good company of other fellow practitioners, spirited beings seeking for other than the usual outer quest.

A few days tucked away from our busy lives, shielded from the daily storm of work and chores, nested in nature away from bustling cities…come and connect with other kind souls seeking for transformation.

it’s a long weekend during which we will rise in silence and enjoy tea or coffee without a word a word facing stunning Swiss Peaks…. the golden silence enables us to turn in, visit the darker corners of our mind to then dust them, wash them clean…. to renew and see all in a different light maybe.

Deep practices will set the tone of the day, in peace we will rise to start with meditation at 8am for 30 minutes followed by the experienced teacher Joanna Lancaster vocally guiding all through her tailor made spicy Vinyasa Krama classes.

Divine homemade food will of course follow the yoga and we will be fed the most scrumptious organic locally grown delicacies… we will break silence at brunch to share heartfelt conversations. Hotel Balance caters for vegetarian and vegan diets with gluten free options (all on request!)

There will be time in the afternoon to lounge, swim, go on a hike, read, nap or else.
We, are looking forward to steaming up in the sauna and immersing ourselves in the natural pool.

The classes will resume in the late afternoon with philosophy, tinted with modern psychology, Joanna’s other passion beside Asana and a long grounding restorative Class . The topic of “Letting Go” will be visited in all classes, we will seek to understand what is the idea of letting Go, learn some tools to deepen our knowledge of it and go further on the path of freedom.
