Nourish your Soul: A Transformational Yoga Retreat

This immersive mid winter retreat will take you to the heart of the matter. Allowing us to fine tune our wants and desires. Using the body as anchor point for our awareness and a connection point to the collective consciousness, our guides and our higher selves we will explore our minds and bodies with a new appreciation and acceptance.

Using candlelit Yoga Nidra to heighten our interoception (the sense of knowing what is going on inside our body) we can begin to try listen to what the body is trying to communicate to us. Poor interoception is linked to higher stress and eating disorders as we lose track or our innate internal harmonies.

The inbuilt underfloor heating will keep us snug as bugs allowing us to truly lose our minds in our bodies throughout out our Nidra, Yin and Vinyasa practices. In amongst the Yoga we have 2 workshops planned with the highly experienced Georgina Wright.

Georgina Wright is a certified intuitive eating counsellor and registered physiotherapist, based in North Yorkshire, who helps women to end the diet-binge cycle, make peace with food and their body, transform their health without deprivation, and reclaim their life with trust, freedom, and true purpose.

‘I successfully transformed every aspect of my health through the evidence-based self-care framework of intuitive eating after more than a decade of not trusting my body and repeating the same cycle of failing diets, emotional eating, binge eating, and constantly obsessing about my weight while gaining and losing the same 40 pounds over and over with endless guilt, shame and frustration, and it’s been such a relief to find the answers I have always longed for to improve my health but couldn't find, until now!’

I am passionate about teaching you to become the expert of your own body through the 10 principles of Intuitive eating framework, where you will learn more about why diets don’t work, and are actually holding you back from the health you deserve, and how to reconnect to your body’s inbuilt wisdom to nourish your body with trust instead of control, and to be able to enjoy all foods with peace, freedom and variety to honour all aspects of your physical, mental and emotional health, creating results which are both long-lasting and sustainable.

Escaping from the stresses and demands of life not only physically but also mentally, energetically and spiritually. We welcome you to the stunning setting that is the Harewood Estate, which is it’s very own country oasis nestled nicely between Leeds and Harrogate.
