Awakening the Spine with Echo and Oceana Mariani
Join Echo and Oceana for an immersive experience that invites you to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom. Together we’ll journey along the ‘spinal river’ – a channel of immense strength and potential that runs deep within us, connecting our entire system.
We’ll begin by awakening the spine through somatic movement. This gentle, intuitive practice invites you to sense from within. Through soft, fluid movements, you’ll cultivate heightened awareness, unlocking greater ease, flexibility, and coordination within the spine.
This embodied experience of the spine will form the gateway to a series of supported Yin postures, enhanced by the nurturing touch of Thai Yoga massage, melting away layers of tension and inviting profound stillness.
We’ll complete the journey with a restorative sound bath, where the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and voice create a nourishing space for the nervous system to reset, leaving you grounded, balanced, and reconnected.
This half-day retreat is aimed at yogis who are ready to slow down, release stress and dive into a more bodyful experience of yoga. All levels of experience will be most welcome.
Booking coming soon.
ABOUT US
Echo Elliott is one of London’s most loved senior yoga teachers with over ten years of teaching experience. While she is known for her skilful and creative approach to asana, Echo’s teaching extends far beyond the physical practice. The depth of her offering is rooted in her lived experience and a profoundly authentic, contemporary understanding of yoga philosophy. She embodies the wisdom and truth of the practice, giving yoga a relatable and resonant voice in today’s world. Her teaching is grounded in her own self-inquiry and devotion to her self-practice – something that she actively supports in her classes so that her students feel confident in finding and embracing their own path.
Oceana Mariani is an experienced yoga teacher and FeldenkraisTM practitioner with more than eight years of teaching experience. Early on in her teaching career she was deeply impacted by studying with Sarah Powers, one of Yin’s creators, which changed the course of her practice. She now explores the intersections between yogic concepts of the subtle body and how somatic movement might provide tangible, embodied ways of exploring these more elusive parts of ourselves. In finding more accessible ways of expanding our sensory awareness she hopes to empower students to form stronger connections between the physical, mental, and emotional parts of themselves in meaningful ways.
