All events are for the whole group except the first session.
At the start of the day, you’ll choose one of the two morning workshops (shown in italics in the schedule):
– Cori’s Gentle Somatic Session – A grounding practice using somatic movement, breath, and connection to bring you home to your body, supporting balance and wellbeing.
– Laura’s Aerial Yoga Workshop – A playful, strength-building flow designed to improve flexibility and focus, with the option to try a few fun poses.
Everything else in the day is suitable for all levels. Massage elements are optional — Tendai will be available to chat with you at the start of the retreat to tailor any massage or hands-on support to your needs.
