Yoga and the five elements of nature

3 day workshop 24th - 26th April 2020

Explore your Body, Mind & Spirit, through the five elements of nature. Using our natural environment to connect to each of the seven Chakras restoring balance.

Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether will be the focus points throughout our weekend retreat. We will be using each of these precious elements that surround us daily to bring a sense of balance and harmony into our lifes.

Style of Yoga to be taught
Hatha Yoga is a great place for people to start their yoga journey with so many variations of the physical practice, however these can also challenge the most advanced practitioner. The word Hatha represents balance. Bringing a balance of soft, slow poses with a mix of strong, dynamic poses. Warming the body and cooling the body, bringing strength and softness, physically, emotionally and mentally. Hatha will be our morning ‘Yang’ practice allowing us to wake up and be energized for the day to come.
The evening time will be for Yin Yoga, which is all about stillness and quietness. In a world where we are encouraged to be “Yang” all the time, working fast, being loud. Yin allows us the time to stop, and look inside, and to reset our systems, allowing the body to rejuvenate and be totally rested.

Highlights

  • 4 yoga classes
  • Suitable for beginners and all fitness levels
  • All meals included
  • 2 nights accommodation (shared and unshared accommodation options available)

The Breathing Space studio

This large, light-filled space has commanding views over the Barrow River and surrounding forests, as well as the 7th century monastic settlement of St Mullins itself.  Although it was designed specifically to function as a yoga studio and mediatation space,  it supports multiple uses. It features  a special infra red heating system and a full complement of yoga equipment.

The food experience on the retreat

At Mulvarra, we are very excited about food. Excited about where it comes from, how it is grown, how it is prepared, who you eat it with. As we are still in the early stages of developing Mulvarra and its Breathing Space, we are currently using fresh ingredients and organic food where we can but in the future we will grow our own food.We generally stick to vegetarian cooking in Mulvarra, although we are flexible and also cater to a variety of dietary restrictions. Vegetarian cooking is so versatile, you really don’t miss that piece of meat on your plate when it’s not there. Whatever your thoughts are on the topic, there is no denying that the meat production in most countries is not sustainable and certainly not animal friendly. When we do, very occasionally, prepare meat dishes we make sure it’s organically sourced

Food Highlights

  • Full board accommodation
  • All meals and drinks included
  • healthy energy snacks
  • Food is all vegetarian and organic produce
