FULL DAY OR HALF DAY AT SUN MOON YOGA RETREATS
Join Ann on this min-retreat day in beautiful North Wales at ‘Sun Moon Yoga Retreats’, Gelli, Glanrhos, Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd LL44 BT.
I am looking forward to sharing this Yoga & Art day in the beautiful yoga/art room in my home where we will practice 'The Wheel of Life' and create Mandalas.
'Mandalas are shapes, patterns and rhythms of nature that are embedded in everything, they encourage us to become more aware of our connection with the earth, with each other, with all of life. They are sacred circles, that repeat patterns over and over, mesmerising us with their beauty, grace and colour.'
You can come along either for half a day or for a full day both include a tasty vegetarian lunch, drinks and cake!
This lovely day will include somatic yoga practices inviting you to feel your whole body sensations and experience centering through becoming aware of the space between the two breaths.
Practices will consist of asana, pranayama, and deep relaxation exploring circular movements with our bodies through practicing 'The Wheel of Life' which is a flow of wave like movements which are an invitation to wholeness.
The wave like movements within this practice and their rhythmic nature soothes and calms the mind allowing the mind to quieten.
We will create Art during the afternoon exploring Mandalas and the theme of Identity, merging yoga self-enquiry with art. Weather permitting we will make our Mandalas outdoors. You are welcome to bring along anything you may have collected from nature to create your mandalas, or feel free to use the shells, pressed flowers/leaves etc. which will be provided.
This yoga/art day is accessible to all adults of moderate health. Beginners are very Welcome!

OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND INTO YOUR BODY Click on image for further information and to BOOK NOW
The Church Hall, Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd - Saturday 5th October 2024 - 11am = 1pm £25 including light refreshments
At times instead of being present in the moment and mindful about our daily lives, we can get stuck in our head, we overthink everything and struggle to be present with our sensations and emotions. When this happens we need to reconnect our body with our mind.
When we get out of our head and into our body we shift focus from the busy mind to the physical body. Yoga can help us by bringing the focus into the present moment and into the sensations within our body. By simply experiencing our bodily sensations, we lessen unproductive thinking and bring about more calmness.
