It’s one of these kind of days today in Cornwall .. the ground is wet from the morning rain but the sky is bright blue and the sun is streaming through the windows .. perfect for a stomp through the woods and a dip in the river 🍃🍂☀️

Each day on REWILD Retreat we include a different slow yoga practice for you to join. A mix of slow and grounding movement practices, body meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) which aim to complement the more active ‘yang’ daily activities and offer a space of rest away from our everyday, fast paced lives.⁠
⁠
We invite you to take things slow, listening to your own body and the change of season too as we enter autumn. We hope that these quieter practices encourage even more space for you to release into deep rest and connect to your intuition and creativity.⁠
⁠
Below is an overview of the two slow yoga styles offered on the Good Things REWILD Retreat:

🍃 Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a soothing balm for our stressed and over stimulated modern lifestyles, as it encourages us to retreat inward and deeply rest.

A still and rejuvenating practice of deep rest, which offers a way to release what was and let go of tension in the muscles and soft tissues, a practice with no striving and no judgment of ourselves.

Surrendering the weight of our bodies and minds into the support of bolsters, blocks and blankets, accompanied by conscious breathing we encourage the activation of the ‘rest and digest’ parasympathetic nervous system, creating deep and healing rest, lowering blood pressure and reducing cortisol (stress hormone).

🍃 Yin Yoga⁠
Yin Yoga is based on ancient Chinese and Taoist philosophies, focusing on our deep connective tissues, fascia, ligaments, and joints. This slow practice of holding floor based postures for longer aims at working into the deeper tissues, releasing tension and influencing a better flow of Qi “energy “ in the entire body. Tuning into both mind fluctuations and the physical sensations, breathing through the longer held postures during the practice teaches us how to breathe through discomfort and sit with our thoughts. Yin encourages an approach of softness and acceptance to our practice.⁠
⁠
Pop back later this week to hear more about the other yoga practices, outdoor and creative activities included on the Rewild retreat in Cornwall in October ⁠
