The first Autumn retreat in 2008 is intended as a breathing space.
The retreat will integrate the practices of posture, breath, mudra, meditation, and sound with the intention of bringing us to a place of spaciousness. We shall also discuss practical ways in which these practices might be integrated into our daily lives.
This is an opportunity to practice yoga in the beautiful and peaceful surrounding of the Priory Retreat Centre in North Devon – see www.prioryretreats.com.
The Priory provides a quiet rural setting set as it is in its own extensive grounds. The Priory offers 11 different therapies and treatments can be pre-booked for an extra charge.
Accommodation is in twin rooms, some singles are available for a small supplement. The diet will be lacto-vegetarian and much of the food is organic and grown on the premises. Special diets can be catered for as long as adequate notice is given.
Cost
The cost of the weekend is £180 and includes all meals, accommodation & teaching. The group will be limited to 16 participants.
About the tutor

In addition, she has been fortunate to have the opportunity to study with Paul Harvey, completing the four year yoga teaching and therapy course with Paul for the Association of Yoga Studies (formerly Viniyoga Britain) in 2006. Since then Jane has continued studying with Paul Harvey and is now in the second year of his post-graduate training course.
