Coming Home: A Yoga and Meditation Retreat for Rest, Reconnection and Cultivating Inner Peace.
With Dearbhla Glynn
Situated on the stunning Sine Saloum delta, in Southern Senegal, where the magnificent array of birds from pelicans to kingfishers surround us as we practice yoga and meditation right on the water. The daily morning meditation is timed nicely so we can watch the stunning sunrise. This retreat is about rest, reconnection, finding peace within and taking sanctuary in the beautiful surroundings. enjoying the blissful peace and stillness the Sine Saloum provides, where you can finally breathe deeply. Through the daily meditation practices we will explore themes like letting go, addressing our inner critic and how we speak to ourselves, gratitude, acceptance and heart-centered living..
After our morning meditation we will have a lovely breakfast. We will then take a mindful walk in the beautiful surroundings of Sine Saloum and come back for yoga. The morning practice will be a warming flow in a vinyasa style of yoga, open to all levels and abilities.: opening the body, the muscles and the joints while creating strength and increasing flexibility.
In the afternoon there is time off, where you can take a boat trip or lie out on the beautiful pontoon and watch the pelicans and herons swim close by, take a trip to the magnificent and ancient baobabs, or visit the museum of African art close by.
The evening yoga practice will help you stretch and lengthen muscles and release any stored tension, over all creating a feeling of openness and lightness within the body. Allowing the body and mind to let go and sink into deep relaxation.The yin and restorative practices are focused on calming the nervous system and allowing your body and mind to come to a place of deep relaxation.
After we finish our practice, we enjoy a delicious dinner while the stars and the moon come out in the sky above the water and at least once we will drum and dance with Serer women from the nearby village of Djilor Djilack.
