Colourful You Yoga Retreat
7 DAY YOGA RETREAT
27th OCT - 3rd NOV 2023
NORFOLK ISLAND
In the 7 day “Colourful You" Yoga Retreat in the magical Tintoela Retreat on Norfolk Island, takes you on a journey through the chakras, exploring the different colours and essences within You.
Ever after reading Morgan's Run by Colleen McCullough have I wished to go and visit Norfolk Island with its interesting history. This tiny island in the South Pacific is just so colourful with plenty natural greens and blues:
"Around every bend you’ll find a new surprise or twist that will make you rethink your notions of paradise. The beaches are some of the Pacific’s best, with impossibly clear waters sheltered by teeming coral reefs just a short swim from the sand. But you’ll also discover moody cliffs where waterfalls tumble into the sea and dramatic headlands with views that go on forever. " (https://www.norfolkisland.com.au/)
So I believe there is no better place to go on an inner journey exploring your own colourful chakras. In these 7 days we'll explore:
-
Day 1: Your belonging - Feeling grounded, safe and secure within yourself
-
Day 2: Your ability to flow - Tapping into your sensuality and your playfulness
-
Day 3: Your inner power - Your ability to manifest and set boundaries
-
Day 4: Your kindness and compassion to yourself and others - Connecting to your heart
-
Day 5: Your ability to express yourself - Creating the world you want to live in
-
Day 6: Your inner wisdom - Finding trust in being your authentic self
-
Day 7: Your connection to everything around you - Being part of the world
The program will of course be filled with yoga and meditation but also with time to explore the island and practice on different locations in nature (weather permitting of course). Aiming to embrace and balance your essence.
This retreat offers practices that allow you to connect to your body, to develop mental awareness, to challenge and laugh at yourself, to slow down and arrive in the the present moment. You will be able to unwind, to let go of your rules, your responsibilities, your worries, so that you can be more playful, connect with nature, and deepen your awareness to enhance your happiness and well-being. You will be guided through meditation and yoga (flow and yin) sessions daily to reconnect to and heal your body and mind. Anneriek creates a trusting and open environment to share and explore your experience.
