Move into Wellbeing – A Morning Retreat
Details
Are you curious to discover how you can radically increase your wellbeing? Join Kate Sagovsky & the BCA founders for a carefully curated retreat that will introduce a range of wellbeing practices – Feldenkrais, Yoga & Meditation – that cultivate body-mind wellbeing, and allow participants to reconnect with their embodied experience.
In a warm and welcoming environment, this small group (max. 15 participants) will be guided by experienced teachers through a range of complementary wellbeing practices – including sitting & walking meditation, gentle yoga, and the Feldenkrais Method.
Discover what works for you and how you might begin to introduce, develop and deepen a regular mindfulness-movement practice into your everyday life. Leave this unique workshop feeling relaxed and free in your movement, less stressed, and more connected to yourself and others.
Introduction to Feldenkrais: Discover the magic of the Feldenkrais Method in this relaxed and fun session. You will be guided through different sequences of slow, gentle movements, using simple, easy-to-follow instructions. Together, we will explore how slowing down and bringing your awareness to physical sensations can enable you to move, breathe, and live your life more fully and with greater ease. We invite you to join us if you are curious about how the Feldenkrais Method can help you reduce pain, fatigue, and stress; change unhelpful habits; and cultivate deep self-awareness. We will introduce you to some of the key concepts of this ground-breaking method, and allow you to experience for yourself how mindful movement explorations can facilitate a transformative journey of self-discovery, and encourage internal resilience, balance, clarity, & strength.
Everyone is welcome: all sessions are accessible for complete beginners, as well as those with more experience. Please wear comfortable clothes that don’t restrict your movement and bring layers you can add for warmth.
