8th - 10th November - Yoga, Pilates and Detox weekend with Sally Parkes - Places available

About the classes

During your stay with us, you will have opportunity to explore or further your practice in Pilates, Yoga, Meditation and Pranayama. Several classes are held throughout the day enabling you to pick the classes that are right for you.

Please note that if you are pregnant, have any injuries or illnesses and/or conditions Sally is happy to adapt the yoga postures or Pilates exercises accordingly.

Typically classes will cover the following:

Yoga

The Yoga classes are taught by Sally Parkes and are a combination of energising Dynamic Yoga in the morning followed by a more restorative practice of Hatha yoga later in the day. The emphasis of the postures will be on detoxification and together we will work through yoga postures that compress, twist and stretch the body in order to aid elimination via the digestive system.

Pilates

Pilates is an exercise method that is great for working the core area of the body including the abdominal area. It is very effective in reducing lower back pain and improving the muscle tone of the lower abdomen in particular.

Yoga nidra: Deep relaxation

Yoga Nidra (meaning 'yogic sleep') is a form of deep relaxation and is offered before bed to encourage restful sleep so you will feel refreshed & renewed both mentally & physically.

Pranayama: Breath Control

During the Yoga lessons we will also practice breathing techniques that will assist your detox and yoga practice by calming the nervous system & stimulating the digestive system.

- Swedish, Aromatherapy and Deep Tissue Massage
