Finding Stillness: A Yoga And Meditation Retreat

Teacher: Hannelize Robinson

Cost: 2 days accommodation + R400 surcharge

Dates: Friday 31 January 2025 - Sunday 02 February 2025

hannelize robinson Yoga teaches us the ability to remain present, calm and stable no matter what situation we find ourselves in. It is not about perfecting the shape of the pose or increasing flexibility – it is about knowing what the shapes do and how they impact our physiology, our energy and our mind. When carefully planned and sequenced, yoga helps us to thrive in the external world that is always changing, and simultaneously allows us to disconnect from our daily lives and reconnect to that aspect of being that never changes.

In yoga, a complete practice includes physical postures (asana), breathwork (pranayama), and meditation. Postures and breathwork prepare us for meditation. When we regularly practise meditation, we train ourselves to pause before reacting, often based on habitual patterns, and instead respond calmly with more wisdom and compassion.

This retreat offers a reprieve from the sensory overload and constant stimulation of modern life. Throughout this retreat, you will discover practical tools to manage stress, enhance resilience, avoid burnout and promote overall well-being. From yoga and meditation practices to a guided walk, our experiential approach will address the mind, body, and spirit, empowering you to thrive amidst life’s challenges.
