Spring yoga weekend, Dorset, 9-11 March 2012
Early-bird discount if booked before January 20th
Welcome the Spring and refresh your body, mind and soul with a weekend of gentle yoga in the Dorset countryside. Leave feeling relaxed, de-stressed and at peace with your body.
The yoga
There will be six yoga sessions: one before dinner on Friday evening, three on Saturday and two on Sunday. They will focus on building core stability, finding greater ease of movement and freedom from everyday aches and pains.
Gently and safely taught, the weekend is suitable for beginners or more experienced yogis wanting to experience a therapeutic approach to classical Hatha asanas.
The centre
Osho Leela is a friendly retreat centre in 15 acres of grounds on the outskirts of Gillingham (mainline rail, London 2 hrs). There is a range of accommodation – from dormitories to single and twin rooms in mobile homes and pine lodges. Delicious vegetarian meals are included in the price of the retreat and a licensed bar is open in the evenings.
Take a guided tour of Osho Leela retreat centre.
What they said last time
“Good company, interesting food, lovely setting, and subtle but challenging yoga. My first yoga retreat - and a wonderful weekend. Just what I needed." Paul, March 2011
"Chris's patient, calm and gentle teaching, coupled with the relaxed atmosphere and astonishingly beautiful surroundings have made this a perfect springtime retreat." Chris, March 2011
"I loved the focus on meditative, spiritual aspects of yoga. I was deeply relaxed between sessions as well as in them and the knock-on positive effects have lasted 2 days and counting. This made it such a mind/body treat that I'd have no hesitation in doing it two or three times a year." Vicki, March 2011
