Yoga Workshops and Retreats 2012
Workshop: Restorative Yoga for Busy People
Life Centre, Islington, 2 June - 14.30 - 17.00
Many of us spend our day rushing from one thing to the next and are often so exhausted by the time we get home that we have nothing left to give to ourselves or others. Our stress levels are at an all time high and the associated problems that stress brings; insomnia, shortness of breath, poor digestion,impatience, anger, anxiety and dis-ease.
This workshop is an invitation to start to manage stress levels and switch off for an afternoon. We will incorporate a gentle, slow moving asana practice to combat the sedentary lifestyle many of us lead, before surrendering deeply into restorative postures to help re-align the body, restore and balance energy levels, calm our nervous system and boost our immune system. We will incorporate some breath work to help quieten the mind and a guided meditation.

Joyce will be the main teacher on this weekend but Marcos will also be assisting with the asana practice. Booking now - so don't leave it until the last minute! £280 place in shared room or £350 single room. There are 2 single rooms, 6 twin rooms and 1 double room available. Once it's full it's full!
"Lake District and a teacher I trust were enough persuasion to get out of London and get physical again. The location was majestic. The smell of incense, the familiar practice, the friendly environment and stunning views from the studio were energising and calming. Joyce's classes are always a beautiful blend of hard work and gentle reflection. Her combination of yoga, chanting and massage was spot on. The hearty meals around the big country table and the warmth of the people were just wonderful. I look forward to many such weekends away. They are grounding and challenging as well as a great opportunity to meet people and explore new places." - Yanna Papaioannou

Retreat: Ashtanga Retreat in Goa
8 - 16 November 2012 (8 nights)
This retreat is situated in Ashwem in North Goa. Simply stunning location next to one of the quieter beaches in Goa. Quiet eco-friendly beach cottages, new purpose built shala, new spa with treatment rooms and lovely veggie food plus a little yoga (seven morning practices and five afternoon sessions). If you would like to come do book early, initially we have reserved 10 of the 17 cottages available but could reserve more if there is a demand (subject to availability).
We have decided to make the morning practice an ashtanga practice but it is also suitable for non-ashtanga practitioners who have a regular yoga practice. We will both be teaching on this retreat - two teachers for the price of one!
