 | February24th Saturday 2.00 - 5 pm $80MINI MEDITATION RETREAT - Breathing SpaceYou've been breathing every day, all your life. But conscious breathing practices, pranayama, are the difference between a wandering, unsteady mind and a mind that is calmed and still. This retreat will give you an opportunity to nurture yourself in silence, anchoring yourself every moment with the breath, through the ancient yogic practices of meditation - walking and sitting - yoga, pranayama and deep relaxation. You can experience for yourself the connection between breath and state of mind, and how simple it is and ultimately that state of Yoga, the union with all of life. When you are connected to your breath no one can take your peace. BOOK HEREIf you really want ‘wellness’, you need to go back to basics & make sure the foundation of your health - your breathing - is good.” Belisa Vranich |
