Some words from past retreat participants…
I made so many connections and made new friends that I already cherish. It is through your leadership Tiina, that we are all able to explore,inquire, and experience, within your loving and caring guidance.

Thanks for leading a lovely weekend retreat with just the right balance!  It was the perfect amount of active yoga practice and still meditation,  introspection and community, indoor and outdoor activities.  And the food was stellar!  They accommodated my food restrictions way beyond my expectations.

I came away feeling happy, inspired, and optimistic about embracing yoga as a lifestyle. I feel the benefits from that weekend are long lasting – I am surprised that I still feel them nearly 2 weeks later!

Tiina ran the most synergistic weekend anyone could ask for. The classes, meditation, Yoga Nidra, nature walks and Kirtan were all offered in a way that made one feel excited to join but never pressured. My favourite parts were all of the wonderful activities offered and of course the FOOD!!!! The amazing food!!! It was so nourishing and healthy, yet fulfilling and beyond delicious. I really did love this experience it was everything I needed to feel like a new person when I got home.

Join us for a weekend immersion in the heart of practice. Located at the beautiful and tranquil Lotus Heart Retreat Centre, less than an hour from Peterborough in the Brighton area, this retreat is for those with all levels of experience with yoga. If you feel a calling to deepen your practice, or if a weekend retreat would nourish your being, we would be honoured to have you. When we tap into the heart of our practice, we have potential to bring a felt sense of the infinite, into our bodies, minds and hearts. Through Bhakti Yoga, chanting, yoga classes, meditations, deep restoration/ Yoga Nidra, live music, and expressive arts, we create space for wisdom, clarity, and spirit to emerge from our own depths. Community forms as we connect and create, self care deepens with a focus on contemplation and meditation, and the heart brightens with music, chanting, movement, and expression.

The weekend will include

  • 2 nights stay in a lovely retreat centre, private and shared accommodation
  • Delicious and nourishing vegetarian meals, incredibly healthy and tasty!
  • Inspired Yoga and meditation classes and workshops for deepening your practice, including Live Music Yoga and Kirtan
  • Spacious time to enjoy nature trails and cozy retreat centre
