Breath is prana, it’s life force. It’s connected to your nervous system and sometimes we just don’t breathe effectively to support our body and our whole being.
Allow yourself to unwind, release tensions and breathe with capacity in this immersive breathwork and gentle yoga day retreat, suitable for all levels of experience.
Join me at The Tree Relaxation Retreat for one day which begins with an introduction to transformational breathwork, intention-setting and then a gentle body-opening Hatha yoga practice. We’ll then dive deep into a breathwork practice aimed at helping you breathe with more capacity and begin to release the thinking mind. Just before lunch, relax with the healing sounds of the Earth Gong in a nourishing sound bath led by Edward. The afternoon incorporates an immersive breathwork experience to a specially curated playlist of music aligned to each of your main chakras. The day ends with opportunities for reflections and insights, with suggestions on how to continue your breathwork journey.A 2 course plant-based lunch and snacks are lovingly prepared by the talented Paula from New Balance Kitchen, with refreshments available throughout the day.£105 per person, inclusive of all refreshments, sessions
and nourishing plant-based food.

Location

I live in the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds in the historic market town of Pocklington. There are many cafés in the town centre offering homemade cakes and delicious menus, as well as a good range of local small businesses and shops. You can often find me with a coaching client here! There are many peaceful walks into the countryside, just on my doorstep.
