Mindfulness – with Adrienne Lawlor
Not just for yoginis - and as simple as taking a breath!
John Lennon said "Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans". Join Adrienne in exploring simple ways to calm your mind, creating a rejuvenating oasis amidst our hectic and stimulating world. Learn how to "show up" for your life, becoming increasingly present to the rich gifts of each moment. Leaving worries related to the past or plans for the future behind, this session promises to reward you in unexpected ways, without expectations to contort your body or even work up a sweat!
Nia Dance – with Jo-Ann Rutherford
Nia presents a philosophy of exercise that allows you to connect to your body,your heart, and your spirit. Nia’s barefoot, grounded approach maximizes body efficiency and empowers you to move with awareness, in a gentler, yet invigorating way. Using movement forms of dance arts, martial arts and healing arts Jo-Ann will guide you to move your groove in a funky, fun, music filled workout. If you can move your feet – you can do Nia. No dance experience necessary!
Massage – Therapist TBA
Enjoy a 30 minute relaxation massage of your shoulders, neck and upper back. If you really want to spoil yourself, upgrade to a full hour massage when booking your retreat.
