Yoga and Bodywork

Beautiful Devon Retreat 24-26 September '10

Come and explore the natural link between yoga and bodywork using techniques from Shiatsu and Traditional Thai Massage. This retreat is ideal for people who love yoga and have a regular practice, focusing on the pyhsical aspect of yoga and it's impact on the body.

Working with a partner in the bodywork sessions of the retreat you will experience first hand what that person feels when they are introducted to a particular stretch or movement. From this you will hopefully be able to understand a little more, the actual effect certain asanas will have on your own body. With this knowledge you will begin to understand how to relax more fully into your own yoga practice.

The Location

Middle Coombe is a beautiful 16/17th century cob & thatch farmhouse, listed grade 2, nestled in its own sheltered valley with extensive ancient outbuildings. Coombe is surrounded by 200 acres of organic farmland (where Angela and Tim raise their our organic beef cattle) and 200 acres of mixed woodland (with wild red deer). An extensive public access footpath network runs throughout, with it's own surprises. The house is full of atmosphere and character, much loved and with fine furniture and oak paneling.
