Yoga and Nature Connections Day Retreat
19th October
The Earthship, Stanmer Park
with Tammy McCann
Ready to slow down and truly experience the beauty of being present? Join me for a nourishing day retreat in the beauty of Stanmer Park, where we’ll explore the art of mindfulness, through yoga and meditation practice as well as connecting with nature. As we move through the day, these practices will help cultivate a deeper sense of calm, groundedness, and compassion.
Throughout the day, we’ll enjoy:
🌿 Gentle Yoga Practice – Ease into the day with a gentle yoga session to awaken your body and mind.
🌿 Mindfulness Meditation – Deepen your sense of presence and awareness with a guided meditation to dive deeper into the day's theme.
🌿 Vegan Lunch – Enjoy a home-cooked nourishing vegan meal.
🌿 Nature Connections Practice in the Woods – We’ll head into the woods of Stanmer Park for a nature connection practice - grounding, breathing, and just being.
🌿 Yoga Nidra – We’ll end the day with a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra session themed around nature, leaving you feeling fully refreshed and restored.
My intention is for this day to be held in an accessible, inclusive and trauma-sensitive way, with everything optional. You can be a seasoned yogi or new to the practice - everyone is welcome – just bring yourself, an open heart, and a willingness to slow down and be kind to yourself.
Book here, you can also hold your place with a deposit by contacting me directly. I am happy for you to email with any questions you have about the day. Learn more about The Earthship, a sustainable sanctuary, here: www.lowcarbon.co.uk/earthship-brighton.

November
Exploring the Subtle Body
9th November - with Khadine Morcom
Luna Wave Studio, Brighton 3.30-5.30pm
£30 Full / £25 Vajrasati members (contact me for code)
This workshop will dive into an exploration of the "yogic body" of channels (nāḍī), energy centres (cakra), winds, (vāyu), knots (granthi) and the illusive Kuṇḍalinī energy. We will look to engage and connect with these more subtle elements of human experience through familiar yogic techniques and tantric methods that include āsana (yoga posture), prāṇāyāma (breathing technique), dhāraṇā (focus), dhyāna (meditation), mudrā (gesture and state) and mantra (chanting), and perhaps a wee bit of yoganidrā to top it all off with a wonderful deep rest (because why wouldn't we?!). There will be movement and stillness, visualisation and imagination and an openness to allow total integration. As always these aspects of experience will be engaged for liberative means so we can move our whole being towards freedom.
This practice is suitable for all-levels of experience but may be of more interest to longer term practitioners, teachers of yoga or the philosophy-curious who want to explore beyond asana into the experiential philosophy and energy teachings of ancient yoga texts.
