Deep Rest Retreat, Restorative Yoga Retreat with Tracy Whitton
October 28 – 31st, 2016
Stillness Through Movement (STM) is pleased to present the Deep Rest Retreat at Gymea Eco Retreat & Spa. The Deep Rest Retreat consists of yoga poses, pranayama and breath awareness exercises and meditation (training the mind in openness and kindness).
If you’re feeling depleted, stressed, hormonal imbalance, wanting to fall pregnant or maybe plain old 21st living!.. then this deep rest retreat is for you! Treat yourself to a retreat enriched in relaxation, stillness, warmth. As and extra cost you can indulge in a massage or a therapy session to help restore adrenal/hormonal health- for more details on the treatment menu, just ask.
The STM technique helps restore the body/Mind connection. Stillness through movement and the Deep Rest Retreat is a process where one learns to align with ones true nature consciousness/intelligence.
Through Breath and Mind Awareness one is able to let go deeply, allowing themselves to receive the benefits of the restorative pose, bringing the body/mind back to its natural state of peace and contentment. Without this awareness one lives in a permanent state of unease, so when you practice in this way we begin to align with the ease of life.
