EVERY DAY IS A BIRTHDAY
A 7-day Kundalini Yoga Retreat (2019)
Every day is a birthday. We open our eyes to a new beginning--
an invitation to leave old days and old ways behind and renew ourselves in body, mind and spirit.
Consider yourself as being made up of ten 'birthday gifts'—each of which contributes to your inherent greatness.
In the teachings of Kundalini Yoga, these ten 'gifts' are known as the Ten Bodies:
- one is the physical body (generally the only body we think we have)
- three are mental bodies
- six are energetic bodies.
Each of our Ten Bodies has its strengths and weaknesses.
The extent to which we keep these bodies in balance and harmony determines
the level of our caliber, potential, overall wellbeing and radiance.
Through a combination of movements, postures, body locks, mudras (hand positions), breathing patterns and sound vibrations, Kundalini Yoga enables us to empower and balance these potent gifts of our being.
Together, inspired by the teachings of the Ten Bodies, we will embark upon a journey of daily yogic and creative experiences, aimed at opening us to realize, activate and celebrate our true and full potential.

Feedback from last year's Power In You retreat 2018

This yoga retreat was challenging, yet inspiring. Ultimately, it was a life-changing experience that I would whole-heartedly recommend to anyone. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful. I learnt a lot from our teacher, Elspeth, who put her heart and soul into ensuring that she brought out the best in each person, no matter what their physical capabilities were. She was constantly surprising us with little activities and gifts. Thanks, Elspeth!

Beautiful peaceful green and blue landscapes of mountains, seaside and waterfall.
Welcoming people. Lovely participants. An adorable cat.
A skilled, sensible and heartful teacher (Elspeth) who gently guides and adjusts, but with a clear vision.
New to Kundalini Yoga, I just opened myself to it, without any unnecessary thinking. A wonderful, precious, unforgettable experience. To carry beyond.
