RETREAT DETAILS

The Venue:

Beckenham Place Mansion

A stunning grade II listed Georgian building surrounded by 237 acres of park & woodland.
Yoga classes will take place in the Old Library within the mansion house; a beautiful space overlooking the park, flooded with natural light, high ceilings and original features.

What To Expect On The Day:
(timings may be subject to slight change)

The Morning:
Awakening Practice - 10.30am-12.20pm
After a warm welcome, the day will start with pranayama (breathing techniques) to help focus the mind & build internal heat within the body, before moving through an energising (awakening) Yoga practice. We will move around the mat in a dynamic slow flowing sequence, leaving you feeling recharged and revitalised with a spring in your step!

The Afternoon:
Lunch - 12.30-1.30pm 
Lunch will be in the Mansion house dining room and will include a buffet style, light vegetarian 2 course meal, prepared by the Mansion Cafe, made with produce sourced from local and sustainable suppliers.

Free Time - 1.30 -2.00pm
After lunch, we invite you to take some time out for yourself for silent reflection. Sit quietly, journal or walk within the expansive park grounds, and absorb the spring energy that surrounds you. Take in some fresh air, gather your thoughts and connect to nature. Being immersed in nature has a calming effect on the mind and nervous system, provides clarity, and inspiration, so enjoy this time!

Return from your walk refreshed, invigorated and maybe even inspired!

Grounding Practice - 2.00-3.00pm
It is now time for a more grounding Yoga practice.  Through floor based Yoga postures you will work in unison with the breath and the full support of the earth beneath to move away from tension and into stillness. This session will also include some guided self massage.

Restorative Practice & Yoga Nidra: 3.00-4.00pm
This is now the time for deep rest and relaxation. This very gentle practice will include just a few selected Yoga postures supported by props, allowing you to fully release and relax in to each pose without effort. This wonderful restorative practice will finish with Yoga Nidra (a deep guided relaxation) 

Light Refreshments & Goodbyes: 4.00-4.30pm
The day will end with light refreshments (herbal/fruit teas/snacks) before saying our goodbyes.
