SUMMER SOLSTICE RETREAT DAY! Saturday 18th June 10am-4pm
🌞As the sun burns It’s brightest and fullest so will we! Join me in welcoming the heat, energy and feel good vibes of Summer! Moving upwards from the nurturing, awakening energy of Spring and stepping into our full power.
🌻Together during our yang practice we’ll focus on drawing awareness to our inner creativity and courage often associated with the solar plexus chakra (Manipura), it governs our inner sense of joy and awe, self-love, determination, ambition, and enthusiasm.
🔥In traditional Chinese medicine this time of year also is symbolic of the fire element we will be exploring this during our yin session, creating balance within the associated meridians. These poses are held for longer enabling us to release deep tissues and barriers within. When these energetic channels are blocked we can often experience sadness, depression, anxiety, loss of voice, chest pain and insomnia.
💫We will move through poses and breathwork outdoors under the summer sky (weather permitting) Encouraging energy flow within the body and giving you the strength and full heart to move forward into this creative, bright joyful season!
✨Retreat Yogis will receive a goodie bag to take home with contents focused towards honouring this summer energy. And a RRY T-shirt to remember our time together.

🎨 Join professional illustrator Francesca for a creative and relaxed morning workshop painting floral botanicals.
🌿In the first part of the workshop, you will learn some different painting techniques using gouache paints. Gouache, pronounced “goo-ash”, is a water-soluble paint like watercolour, but is opaque like acrylics, making it incredibly versatile. Gouache paints are beautifully vibrant, perfect for painting some summer flowers! We will then apply your new creative knowledge and paint your own still life from fresh flowers on a gorgeous piece of hot-press paper.
🌞Spaces are limited, and will be honoured on a first booked first basis. Message me to book or secure your spot over on my online booking system www.momoyoga.com/rerootyoga I am happy to receive payment in instalments-contact me to discuss.
