Bathe in the Summer Sun

Style of Yoga to be taught

 

The morning practice will start with mediation and some pranayama to help settle the mind for the benefits of the physical practice. The asana practice will be a mixture of Ashtanga Vinyasa incorporating more therapeutic and freeing aspects from Svastha Yoga. It will be an invigorating morning experience encouraging you to be true to how you are that day. 

​

The evening practice will focus on longer holds, gentler variations of postures, and breath work. This is a practice for clearing the mind and balancing your energy for a relaxing evening and a rejuvenating night's sleep. Good physical and mental health comes from finding an easy balance between our internal experience and our external perceptions. Often learning not to take ourselves too seriously.

Your Rustic Retreats journey

“We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.’ - Nikita Gill 

​

Yoga reminds us that nature is a healer. Our connection to the earth around us is a reminder that we are a very very small component of something far greater, and more awe inspiring than many of us can truly perceive or hold fully in the grasp of our own understanding. All practices, physical, meditational, cerebral all connect us to the natural environment we are a part of. This we will explore further, particularly how the physical practice of asana can link us into the deeper aspects of Yoga Philosophy according to Patanjali, which guides us to understand the nature of what it is to be human. We will look at the first “two limbs” of “The Eightfold Path of Yoga” : Yamas and Niyamas 

These are ancient yoga texts that give timeless guidance for how our yoga practice informs the way we connect with and relate to the world around us.
