Weekend Yoga Retreat with Caroline Coggins

Weekend Yoga Retreat Mostly we do yoga by fitting it around our very busy lives. Perhaps at moments in class or practice we drop below to the vast silence which lives at the core of our existence. We do our yoga to help deal with many things, our physical, mental and emotional difficulties, but remembering the silence is also part of this journey, dealing with life. On retreat if only for a few days, leaving behind our normal lives, with the focus on our yoga we can glimpse the sense of other, something beyond our busy-ness, and can prioritise this other dimension, tune in and be nourished. Certainly in our culture we can lose track of where we going. Taking the time out can help us to remember.
