A Special Day Retreat for You
Winter Solstice Retreat
A Special Day Retreat for You
A beautiful day retreat curated especially for you… here is your opportunity to disconnect from distractions and enjoy some quality me-time. Gentle targeted movement, self-inquiry, meditation, breathwork, creative clay play and sound healing all rolled in to one day so you can prioritise yourself.
Winter is a time of stillness, resting and turning inwards. By the time we reach the Winter solstice we will be having our longest nights and shortest days, it is the most Yin time of the year.
Gift yourself this whole day on retreat with Kinesiologist, Reiki Master and Yoga Teacher, Claire Tait, so that you too can take some deep rest, be nurtured and come back to yourself.
Step away from the busyness of daily life, unwind and take a deep sigh out; this is what Nature is demonstrating in Winter.

“Nature remembers what humans have forgotten:
Every cycle must return to silence, stillness, the dark
Every out breath requires an in breath
Every outer endevour turns back inward to it’s origin, it’s centre, and begins again
From death comes new life and from the darkest night a new dawn is born”
As a Kinesiologist and TCM practitioner I weave my knowledge of meridians into all practices. Winter aligns with the Water element, and together with the Kidney and Bladder meridians we will work to stimulate and move stagnant energy in these meridians in your Yin yoga practise. In addition, as a yoga teacher and an energetic and spiritual practitioner I will layer philosophical and spiritual insights to encourage self-reflection and personal growth.
