9/5/2018 0 Comments How Ashtanga creates balanceThe ashtanga yoga practice really is a gift of balance that you can give to yourself 💝
Today I didn’t really feel like getting on my mat, I have an exam this weekend, so I need to revise 🤯My mind felt closed in. I wanted to chill in soft openings and Childs pose, head down, closed, still. But I rolled out my mat. 🧘♀️ 👣 Ekham Inhale...and off I went, through the beautiful dance of the ashtanga sequence. I felt strong, balanced, gradually felling softer, more flexible where my body had reflected my stiff mind. By the end my backbends and drop backs felt beautiful, soft but strong, the heart fully open, reaching to the sky to reach the earth. The practice had fully restored my balance...And that’s why I love this practice. 🙏 If I’d have had a choice I’d have huddled into Childs pose for an hour, but that would only have reinforced what I felt, reinforcing the imbalance, instead of challenging it to restore balance. 🙌

I’m so thrilled to be offering this unique luxurious retreat with Alison Gough.
💫 A wonderful yin/yang experience - Energising ashtanga yoga and releasing yin. Deeply relaxing Soundbath and Yoga Nidra sessions.
💫Two dedicated yoga teachers, both of whom trained with internationally renowned teachers; Emma trained with John Scott and the British Academy of Sound Therapy and Alison trained with Sarah Powers and iRest Nidra.
💫 Luxurious accommodation - stay in a beautiful Manor House with lovely grounds.
💫 Delicious food prepared by a vegan chef.
Join me and Alison Gough Yoga on 8th-10th November for a luxurious weekend of yoga, meditation, sound therapy and relaxation all set in the beautiful surroundings of Eaton Manor, a 500 acre country estate within the peaceful Shropshire countryside.
THE VENUE
Your home for the weekend will be the stunning Manor House within the Eaton Manor estate which dates from the 17th century.
The Manor House features original exposed beams and oak floors. Each bedroom is individually decorated and is en-suite. The luxury master bedroom has a four poster bed and an en-suite bathroom with overhead shower.
The House stands in an acre of private walled gardens and benefits from superb views over the countryside. In addition to a lovely outdoor patio there is a welcoming sitting room complete with Victorian range, ideal for relaxing during the retreat. https://www.eatonmanor.co.uk/
All yoga sessions will be held in the banqueting hall which is a short walk from the Manor House and within the Eaton Manor estate.

The day will start with an energising yoga practice with Emma, followed by a hearty breakfast, some free time and a guided meditation practice. After lunch, you’ll have some free time to maybe take a walk and enjoy your surroundings, relax in the comfort of the Manor House and read a book or enjoy a private yoga, iRest or sound therapy session tailored just for you**.
This will be followed by a yin yoga workshop with Alison and a nourishing evening meal. The day will end with a treat of a gorgeously relaxing Soundbath session.
