"Yoga" comes from the Sanskrit word "yug" which means to unite, uniting our individual self with that which gave rise to it - the Divine. And the practices of yoga and meditation are the means for this.

21st Mini Meditation Retreat Saturday 2.00 - 4.45pm $60

There will be time for philosophy and discussion at the end. Beginners very welcome, we were all beginners at one time! The retreat is guided throughout. BOOK HERE or contact us.
"When everything drops away, the fullness of life is there, the ease, the grace, the contentment, the peace. Who we are is revealed, thoughts may come and go, but silence and stillness are always there. "
