What level of practice do I need to have?
This retreat is open to all levels. The most important thing is that you are keen to learn and discover. Although classes are longer that you may be used to they include more. Opening meditation and breathing practice, a long warm up, practice peak, a long cool down and savasana followed by closing meditation. Practicing this way allows the student to really integrate the practice and work to their level. There will be ample modifications and props available as well as space to deeply grow in your practice physically, mentally and spiritually. Please talk to me if you are unsure of your practice level.
