Are you feeling low in energy? Do you need to relax, restore and regain your energy?
Whether we call it qi, prana, or vital life force, maintaining a balanced and harmonious flow of energy is essential to physical, mental, and emotional health and to keep burnout at bay. In this retreat, Véronique shares her favourite practices to connect with and nurture prana with movement, stretches and Breathwork.
These practices will help to release endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. But research also shows that stretching helps to fight inflammation. So if you feel anxious or if you’re currently experiencing any symptoms of inflammation like aches, pain, fatigue, swelling or itching, this retreat will also help with these symptoms.
The timetable has been careful designed to ensure you have opportunities to nurture yourself, to enjoy a beautiful massage with our local massage therapist, to go for gentle walk in the hills, or relax on the patio or by the pool.
