The Be Moved Yoga Retreat is for you if...
Be Moved
All experience is energy in motion—our thoughts, feelings, actions, and emotions are dynamic and ever-changing. Yet, we don't often take the time to graciously watch these experiences unfold on a moment-to-moment basis. When we move through life without thought or awareness, we tend to run on auto-pilot, which can leave us feeling depleted, unfulfilled, uninspired or lacking purpose. On the other hand, when you experience the limitless power of the present moment, life unfolds with you in a deeply moving way.
The Be Moved Retreat offers you the time, space to connect to the subtle energy that permeates all that surrounds you. You’ll sharpen your awareness of body, breath, and spirit by tuning into the ever-unfolding present moment. The days will flow through a centring rhythm of movement and stillness with activities that spark creativity and evoke joy.
The Setting
Let the rugged and rural Spanish countryside awaken your soul.
The Be Moved retreat is taking place at the House of Light Retreat Centre; a tranquil sanctuary set among the stunning natural backdrop of La Alpujarra in Southern Spain.
The magical property, from where you can view both the mountains and ocean, is beautiful and inspiring, as well as incredibly nurturing. The venue includes gorgeous guest rooms, glamping yurts and:
House of Light's diverse and distinctive spaces have been intricately and lovingly designed to give individuals the opportunity to connect with nature, open up, drop into vulnerability and connect quickly and deeply with one’s self.
