Breath and the Heart - A Yoga Retreat

In this weekend workshop we explore the connections between our breath and our heart. Weaving somatic enquiry, yoga asana and loving-kindness practices we will restore ease-full breathing, a calm mind and an open heart.

This will be a weekend in which to release into the organic soft support of the heart and the breath. Te Moata is the perfect setting for our deepening yoga practice - the beauty and spirit of the land, the nourishing and delicious food, and the sensitive kindness of the guardians who run the centre, all combine to offer a weekend of restful coming home to a natural open heart.
