2 nights luxury escape from Friday to Sunday, with top class yoga teacher Kathryn Moynihan who will teach vinyasa yoga and yin restorative yoga and meditation this weekend.
Quality vinyasa yoga weekend and meditation
Kathryn teaches both Vinyasa flow, and also Yin yoga and Restorative yoga. In her vinyasa flow classes one’s focus is maintained on the breath, and coordinating the breath with the flowing movements. Kathryn’s Yin and Restorative yoga is more relaxing and restorative.
The morning vinyasa yoga classes will be dynamic and very good for improving flexibility and removing energy blocks helping you feel fully alive during the rest of the day.
Kathryn is a very experienced teacher and will give you a firm foundation on yoga principles as you move into each posture with awareness. There is a lovely variety of classes on this vinyasa yoga weekend.
The afternoon class will be a slow relaxing restorative yoga class where we will explore some deep yin style restorative postures. A restorative yoga practice can rest your body deeply; stretch your muscles (stretch connective tissue) lower your heart rate and blood pressure, and relax your nervous system, moving you into a peaceful state of deep relaxation.
There is a meditation class in the morning and evening each day, and one of the benefits of our retreats is that you can then take these practices home with you.
