Rebalance Weekend Retreat

Friday, August 20 – Sunday, August 22, 2021

Find balance this weekend!

Be supported with the gentle guidance of Andrea Leplae, and Liz Frost, sharing practices from Yoga (Hatha, Restorative, Vinyasa, Ashtanga) teachings, and Pilates, alongside Ayurvedic concepts, offering you tools to shift your balance, at home, at work and in your mindset.

Balance is never a ‘set it and forget it’, right! With constant change, eventually we learn to move with change, shift our perspective on things, and re-balance what matters, not forgetting the importance of self-care and self-awareness. This Retreat will help you better understand yourself, especially as we explore ‘Ajna’, the 3rd-Eye Chakra, the seat of self-knowing.

‘Blossom Yoga’ is Andrea’s formula for ‘undoing’, prior to ‘doing’ anything! A typical class begins with Hatha, Restorative and Therapeutic poses, slowly building up to short Vinyasa Yoga sequences and more challenging asana. There is no experience required and all physical abilities are welcome. Liz has a very gentle teaching style with a focus on mindfulness.

You may be surprised at how one weekend away can lead to a transformational experience for you!
