Details

HOMECOMING Pausing is a doorway. When we slow down and rest in the pause, we enter a moment that reveals parts of ourselves, ways of being, and subtle layers of life that often go unnoticed. It is a homecoming. Together, we’ll stretch time open to breathe, move, laugh, release, and simply be. You’ll be supported by practices of Yoga (Hatha, Yin and Restorative), Breathwork, Meditation, Somatic Explorations, Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) and nourished with vegan and vegetarian meals, pool, sauna, nature and heartfelt connections A time to pause, listen, and return to yourself—aligning with the quiet rhythm of a new beginning

Testimonials

info

I've been practising Yoga for many years and have been to workshops and retreats by a number of well-known yoga teachers in London but nothing compares to Halina’s approach which is genuine, authentic, honest and a true representation of what Yoga is for her. She somehow manages to allow us to find our own individual sense of boundaries, limits and alignment whilst still holding us all in a space of acceptance. Thank you so much.

I loved the way you designed the course to move through the chakras, starting with the legs and moving up. The way you paired the questions with the chakras was also great. I loved that they were questions as opposed to statement, and that you gave us several options. Often all three questions worked together for me and helped to open something up. It made for a wonderful movement between the physical/ location in the body to the verbal/ idea level. I also loved the directions you gave about how to redirect the attention to the physical while answering the questions rather than staying in the head. I think I was doing that already, but it reinforced that instinct, confirmed that I was in sync with the underlying values of the course, and I think it helped with my partners. Also, as you know, this part of the course was instrumental in the powerful release that happened for me when we were paired together. I also thought the amount was the perfect balance between the yoga/physical and the verbal— at least for me. I wouldn’t have wanted more verbal- just that little break in between the two yoga sessions was great

The directions you gave during the yoga sessions were illuminating for me personally. First of all, I loved that you explained what the pose was supped to do and then encouraged us to find the position that worked for us individually rather than just directing us to imitate a certain form. It added a sense of playfulness and openness to the yoga. And even beyond that, I’m not sure if I can explain it, but when you talked about the energy lines in different poses, I suddenly felt as if I had an insight into what yoga was all about in a way I had never understood before. I had the sense that it was not only about the physical muscles (or even mostly about the physical muscles), but about using the physical to access the chi or the prana or whatever that energy is that runs through the body and helping to release it when it gets blocked by our experiences and the (mistaken) beliefs we construct from those experiences"
