'Mindful Movement + Connection' Retreat
With Val Young and Siân Lalita
November 18 - 25, 2023
Stretch, move + groove into a blissful flow state!
Dryft away to Paradise and experience the magic that unfolds when you let go and surrender into a space of mindful movement and intentional connection. You’ll experience a unique blend of healing practices that go beyond just traditional yoga, inviting you to explore the expressive realms of dance and movement, that will find you groovin’ to the beat of your own soul!
Through gentle yoga flows; creative free movement; dance and play, deepen your connection with yourself and others and flow into states of beautiful oneness as energies intertwine and harmonize in creative expression!
Program
Rise and shine each morning with gentle nourishing movement practices that awaken your body and soul. Embrace a variety of modalities, from flowing yoga sessions on the mat to flowing with the ocean’s rhythm. Dive into body awareness meditations, slow flows, and movement rituals as you connect with the elements and tune into your body.
Throughout the day, continue the free flow as you embrace the freedom to explore, rest, create, and play… nourishing and supporting yourself in all the perfect paradise ways amidst the beauty of our pristine island retreat.
In the evenings, prepare to dance the night away with inspiring movement workshops such as ecstatic dance journeys and contact improvisation, that invite you to unleash your creative expression through free flow movement and play. These empowering sessions create a sacred space for connection, allowing you to forge authentic bonds with fellow participants through the language of movement.
Some nights will offer a gentle shift towards inward mindfulness and deep connection, as we guide you through relaxing yoga Nidra, peaceful meditations, and balancing breath work. This harmonious blend of energizing and restorative practices ensures that you nourish your body, awaken your spirit, and find profound balance within.
As part of the retreat, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable El Nido island hopping boat tour on Wednesday. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding islands, connecting with nature’s wonders and deepening your sense of belonging within the wider tapestry of life.
Join us on this extraordinary retreat, where mindful movement, dance, and authentic connections await, guiding you on a transformative path of self-discovery and deepened embodiment. Let the rhythm of your heart and the wisdom of your body lead the way as you reconnect with your true essence and experience the blissful beauty of interconnectedness!
