Why this retreat?
Modern life asks a lot of men.
Pressure at work.
Responsibility at home.
Constant mental load.
Most of us were never taught how to work with our internal world – how to manage stress, regulate our nervous system, or understand what’s actually going on in our own minds.
This retreat gives you practical techniques you can use every day.

* Daily program may vary slightly
The yoga is a system we call Purna, a traditional hatha style with an emphasis on correct alignment and intelligent sequencing. Purna translates as complete or whole and this is reflected in the premise that we teach not just the physical postures but also an integrated approach with breath awareness (pranayama), meditation and philosophy. With the Purna system students can work at their own level, options are given for variations and modifications allowing for beginners to practice alongside experienced students.
