Yoga Yurts retreat with Bob and Be Insley
23rd to 25th June
Bob and Be began yoga in the eighties with Astanga Vinyasa and later the Iyengar system,. In the late nineties they qualified as BWY tutors and Bob later qualified as a DCT. Bob and Be have continued to study with many different tutors, developing those practices that have worked best for them. They call this approach to yoga asana ‘Moving into Space’; allowing the body to move to the maximum whilst working with the minimum. Bob and Be’s constant enthusiasm for learning have led them to work with experts in the fields of Pranayama, Meditation and Education. They are Pranayama Tutors, having studied with Phillip Xerri; and have completed the BWY Meditation Module with Maarten Vermaase. Bob holds a Certificate in Education from Greenwich University; with special interests in planning and how adults learn.
Over the weekend we will be looking at how we can move into the space around us, and encourage the postures that we practice to appear naturally with less use of muscular activity. We will look at turning off muscle groups, by allowing the body to come into ‘gravity line’, making it easier to move into postures in greater depth and intensity.
We shall also be considering aspects of pranayama with directional breathing and also some work on meditation practices
The weekend will run as a regular Yoga Yurts retreat but with Bob and Be teaching the yoga rather than ourselves. The food, accommodation and timetable will be the same with six yoga sessions throughout the weekend and a massage for everyone. Please see the rest of the website for more details. The weekend will run from 1pm Friday to 4pm Sunday. All food is organic and home prepared. There will be time for walks in the surrounding countryside and chilling out by the fire or snoozing in a hammock. There are a maximum of ten places on the retreat creating a relaxed and mellow feel and providing more individual attention than on most retreats.
The cost of the retreat is £225, which includes all food, accommodation, yoga and your massage.
