If the post-Christmas blues usually leaves you feeling heavy, achy, or a little wrung out from overfilling your social cup, then gift yourself a moment to pause. This half-day retreat is an invitation to slow down, soften, and create space in both body and mind.

 Through gentle movement, deep release, and restorative rest, we’ll return to our inner spaciousness and step into the new year refreshed. We’ll begin with somatic movement - a gentle, intuitive practice that invites you to sense from within. Through soft, fluid movements, you’ll cultivate heightened awareness, unlock greater ease, and coordination. In particular, we’ll explore how our pelvis can lead us into effortless full-body spirals. These expansive patterns create a sense of uplift through continuous flow and lightness. This embodied movement will form the gateway to a series of supported Yin postures focused on releasing the hips and pelvis.

 The practice will be enhanced by the nurturing touch of Thai Yoga assists, an invitation for the body to settle into profound stillness. We’ll close with a guided meditation, accompanied by the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls, chimes, and voice. This grounding soundscape will help clear our head space so that we might sow a few seeds of reflection. Through journaling prompts and self-inquiry, we hope to lead you into a meaningful new year. 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.

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.

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.
