A three-day retreat for a connected body and mind practice at beautiful Shambala Gatherings
This is the retreat for you who wants to practice for deeper body awareness, a stronger body-mind relation and a healthy breathing pattern. With the roots in the traditional yoga tradition, integrating relevant modern science, we will explore what it is to live in a human body with all its individual possibilities. No matter if you are an experienced yoga/movement student or teacher or not, you will learn tools for a sustainable, well rounded practice for the rest of your life.
During the three-day retreat we will get familiar with topics like neurology, tissue adaptation, anatomy and physiology. As no theory is greater than the embodied experience itself, we will move a lot. We will inquire and explore both isolated and integrated movements for a global understanding of our possibilities, -and restrictions on and off the yoga mat. Functional movements will blend with strength work and fluid movements that will awaken every part of you. Emphasizing your natural movement patterns, we will go through the potential of the spine, shoulder, hips and knees for you to sense, understand and learn about. It will be nerdy, explorative and humbling.
Guided meditation and breath work will be integrated all three days.
Main take away will be:
-how external load increases our ability to learn new movements and how you can apply that in your asana practice.
-how the nervous system is related to everything we do in life, and how we can consciously work with it to feel great in our bodies.
-how movement and “paying attention” can wake up sleepy areas and make us more confident in life.
-how movement sensed from the inside rather than the looks of a shape is the gateway to increased body awareness.
And much more!
Please don’t hesitate for any inquire at all.

About the Move With Ease Retreat 2019:
“The retreat gave me so much inspiration, body awareness and joy. I now feel so curious to learn more about movement and body work.”
Isabell, Stockholm“I’m so happy to have joined the retreat this year. The classes where various and creative with clear intention. I got lots of new ideas for my own practice and teachings too. The food where amazing and the surrounding beautiful. THANK YOU.”
Maria, Stockholm“I have practiced with Olivia for years now, and every time I leave class with more awareness, new sensations (and sore muscles from parts I didn’t know I had), knowing that this journey is never over. Every class have so much intention, and always makes us think, paying attention to every part of us.”
