Kundalini Yoga – Residential Weekend Retreat – May 2018

Welcome
We are delighted to share our next Kundalini Residential Yoga Retreat. After attending many many yoga retreats and other workshops for years we are excited to be sharing our own with you and with the world. We are passionate about our students receiving a deep kundalini experience at an affordable price. Scotty Leigh-Janney (KYTA registered teacher) will be sharing his love through kundalini yoga throughout the weekend to inspire the mind, body and spirit.

Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness and our ability to be aware of ourself and where we are truly at each moment. The aim is to influence the kundalini energy to uncoil from the base of the root chakra up through the other chakras towards the crown chakra and experience all the world within and around us and to elevate our consciousness.

Overview of the weekend
Arrival is from 4pm with a welcome meeting and short arrival meditation at 5pm before dinner at 6pm followed by a kundalini kriya in the evening. Saturday will be a full day (see typical day below) and Sunday will close at 4pm and departure by 5pm.

Overview of a typical day
Short yoga class before breakfast (known as Sadhana) followed by a warm healthy breakfast of porridge made with homemade almond milk served with blueberries, seeds & nuts along with herbal tea.

A morning class of yoga including a full kriya, meditation, chanting and relaxation followed by a morning break of herbal tea and homemade flapjack.

Before lunch a guided meditation through the grounds continuing to connect to yourself as your root chakra goes deeper into the earth all the way up to your crown and beyond.

A family style served lunch of a warm homemade soup followed by homemade falafel, hummus, avocado, salad and beetroot quinoa.

The afternoon yoga class will include a full kriya, meditation, chanting and relaxation followed by a afternoon break of herbal tea and homemade raw chocolate brownies.

Late afternoon session will include a Short kriya of breath work before a dinner of Baked Sweet potatoes and vegetarian chilli, ensuring you leave room for a slice of healthy raw vegan Strawberry and Blueberry Cheesecake.

Holycombe is a beautiful residential holistic retreat centre, set in a verdant wooded valley on the edge of the Cotswold village of Whichford. A natural stream rises from a holy well in the nearby wood, passes though the grounds and down a waterfall. The sound of running water adds to the sense of peace and tranquillity.
