TREAT YOURSELF…

… to a replenishing Yoga River Retreat / Menopause Yoga River Retreat

I’m delighted to be out on the river working with Paddleboard Maidenhead to explore yoga, breath-work, meditation and relaxation (and of course, some paddling) out on the river, enjoying the gifts of nature.

I’ll lead the retreats … and of course, we’ll have support from the Paddleboard Maidenhead team to ensure everyone feels safe, secure and can be as relaxed and confident as possible.

You’ll enjoy..

• Rejuvenating yoga river flow: (There’ll be modifications for beginners and the more advanced - ensuring the practice suits everyone).

• Paddle-boarding: Whether a beginner or competent paddler - you’ll get to enjoy nature, the river and literally ‘go with the flow’.

• Breath-work: We’ll be exploring the power of pranayama. Learning how to use our breath to calm, reset and energise.

• Meditation: We’ll take time to pause, breathe and absorb all of your practice, restore, replenish and nourish mind, body and spirit. Drifting along on the water - fully embodied and connected. Bliss!

Menopause Yoga River Retreats

Menopause, rather than being about loss, lack and dread - can be seen as an empowering transition into a very empowering ‘Second Spring’. Stepping into a new phase of life with confidence and compassion for who we are becoming. For the Menopause Yoga River Retreats - the yoga and breathing elements of the practice will focus on serving menopause symptoms, cooling ‘meno-rage’, supporting relaxation and releasing emotional tension, particularly from our shoulders, jaws and hips (which works really well for paddle-boarding tension too). We’ll hold a ‘women’s circle’ - giving opportunity to talk to one another and share experiences and we can chat as we paddle, talking about symptoms, natural remedies, raise and answer questions - and generally support one another with love, empathy, laughter and kindness. I’ll share some inspirational reading and poetry to enable a sense of self-assuredness and connectedness and to lift our spirits and help you to realise that you are not on your own. As women, we really are all in menopause together - and of course… are stronger together.
