Children are welcome to join the retreat. They cannot join the group classes unless they can follow the class and without disruption to the other participants.�Classes:�We shall have some general yoga classes, with varying focuses. They will include some pranayama/ meditation. We shall incorporate group requests such as handbalancing, backbends, acro, yin, restorative and yoga nidra. With the handstand work, everyone shall find a place to be comfortable in some handstand variation and everyone shall find that they expand their abilities.��The classes are geared for developing the teacher within, even if you are not a “teacher”! So you can develop your understanding/ experience/ focus of each exercise. We are doing this retreat together . We can see how different body types can approach certain positions differently to get the best fruit.�Your hosts/ class facilitators:�Catie Foroughi�Catie is the author of “This Is It, Enlightenment with CYoga and teaches internationally. Catie shares a core approach that with exploration and “practise” what seems impossible can become possible. She is spontaneous with an original and integrated approach to yoga.�She conducts all types of classes ( in person and online) including one-on-one and group yoga, master classes and yoga training intensives.�She has a strong hub of yoga family/ friends/ students/ teachers/ clients! Catie has studied many yoga approaches and handstands and is always studying something that informs her sessions.
Sylvia Garcia�Sylvia began her yoga journey in 2001. Coming from a strong dance background yoga and Pilates were always a part of her daily training and continue to be. She has trained and practised extensively with many styles including Ashtanga, Rocket and Dharma yoga. Sylvia is also an acrobat and handbalance practitioner and likes to spend most of her day inverted in some way. She has been teaching yoga, hand balancing, acro and Pilates for many years and is London based. She trains with London School of handbalance regularly and has attended the San Diego Circus Centre training for handbalance and sport acrobatics. She also travels extensively to share her teachings all over the world. She likes to combine a strong flow with time to break down peak poses and transitions with precise detail and although you are most likely to find her upside down she does also enjoy practising and teaching yin and Thai massage to balance things out
