Late May Bank Holiday Yoga Retreat in the UK

[Guest guest]

 

The Kundalini Yoga Experience

 

You are invited to join a simple Yoga Retreat in and around an historic Elizabethan manor house;

experiencing the consciousness of community & enjoying the company of like-minded people in tranquil surroundings.

 

This retreat is both an introduction to Kundalini Yoga and a celebration of the graduation of our current Kundalini Yoga Instructor course.

We rise at 5 and greet the day with an Aquarian Sadhana of yogic exercise, meditation and chant.

We sample a variety of yogic practices in and around an historic country house set in 16 acres of peaceful, secluded gardens, meadowland and forest.

We may see deer and other wildlife as we walk the quiet forest footpaths.

We share the chores together and eat and simple vegetarian food (fruit fast on Saturday).

All within easy reach of London Heathrow Airport.

 

The retreat is organised by SKY the School of Kundalini Yoga and is under the direction of

Guru Dharam Singh & Darryl O’Keeffe authors of Kundalini the Essence of Yoga aka The Kundalini Yoga Experience

Our graduating instructors will deliver a diverse Kundalini Yoga programme offering a choice of activities throughout the day.

 

You will be joining a mixed group from complete beginners to experienced students and teachers of Kundalini Yoga together with their friends and family.

Come and enjoy being part of a yoga family.

 

No prior experience of yoga is required

Ufton Court

 

Ufton Court is an experience in itself; a timber framed Elizabethan House incorporating an earlier medieval manor house and set in attractive and extensive wooded grounds. It was home to the Catholic Perkins family from the late 16th century and contains a number of secret priest holes, a small oratory and a number of interesting wall paintings. Yoga classes will take place in the house, on the lawn and in the impressively restored Tithe barn. You will also have the opportunity to walk around the medieval fishponds within the grounds or further afield into the thousands of acres of nearby forest and farmland, overlooking the Kennet Valley.

 

 

SKY the School of Kundalini Yoga

 

SKY was established in 1996 by Guru Dharam Singh & Darryl O’Keeffe.

We are committed to spreading the understanding and safe practice of Kundalini Yoga and recognise the teachings of Yogi Bhajan as a definitive source of such practice in modern times. SKY encourages the adoption of a yogic lifestyle and vegetarian diet.

SKY seeks to create competent and confident practitioners and instructors of Kundalini Yoga through example, challenge and encouragement; and to inspire teachers to enthuse a new generation of students through this age-old spiritual technology of personal transformation.
