About the Classes
This retreat is a wonderful blend of Yoga, Pilates, Meditation and Yoga Philosophy. All
classes are suitable for beginners to advanced levels and we include
both Hatha and Dynamic Yoga as well as Pilates Matwork in our retreat.
Please note that if you have any injuries or illnesses and/or conditions
Sally is happy to adapt the yoga postures or Pilates exercises
accordingly.
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.
