SolarYoga Retreats

“In the midst of motion, remain steady in the Self” ~ Patanjali

Come along to a beautiful day retreat that is nourishing for body, mind and soul. We run two types of retreats at SolarYoga:

YOGA THEMED RETREATS

Immerse yourself in a thoughtfully planned  day of yoga, breathwork, meditation, delicious food, a deeply nurturing sound bath journey and revitalising wellness rituals including: infrared sauna, cold plunge and a blissful session on the Shakti acupressure mat.

 Here’s an outline of a typical day retreat:

Morning yoga session

Begin with an energizing class that is vinyasa based and open to all levels. Experience an intentional flow that invites self-enquiry and cultivates presence.

Midday Ritual

Afterwards, enjoy a variety of relaxing and rejuvenating activities, including:

 Infrared sauna – eases muscle tension, relieves stress, has anti-inflammatory, mood-lifting and metabolism-boosting benefits

 Cold plunge – revitalise your senses with a refreshing dip; compliments the health-supporting qualities of the sauna

 Shakti mat experience – cocoon yourself in blankets and enjoy the deeply relaxing sensation of an acupressure mat

 Rest in the cozy snug and enjoy reading  one of our many wellness books

Lunch

Enjoy the nourishing qualities and rich flavours of a Mediterranean-inspired winter menu.

Afternoon Session: restorative yoga

You can expect ~

• Deep rest through gentle, fully supported poses that calm the nervous system

• Release of tension in the body and mind without effort or strain

• Renewed energy as the session aims to cultivate a feeling of peace and inner stillness

Closing sound bath journey 

Your day will conclude with an immersive sound bath led by Kirsten @circular.sounds. Blending crystal bowls, a planetary gong, Tibetan singing bowls and her enchanting voice, Kirsten creates a resonant soundscape that is profoundly nourishing for the nervous system. She artfully weaves sound into the theme of our day, offering a meditative experience that invites rest, release and integration.
