THE COMPLETE YOGA RETREAT EXPERIENCE - with Katina Pallaras

Unfold like the petal of a lotus as you peel away the tension and open your mind body and soul to the absolute yoga experience at Angsana Resort and Spa. Shaded under the swaying coconut trees along the shoreline of the Coral Sea, surrender yourself to the ebb and flow of the ocean as you stretch your mind and body in the ultimate Palm Cove setting.
The retreat is for life travelers yearning to rediscover their inner stillness and poise. It is for those seeking mind and body symmetry as well as physical extension and wellbeing. This peaceful practice moves soothingly in unison with the natural environment of the sea on one side and the mountains on the other creating true yogic balance. It expands the physical body without compromising the tranquility of the mind as well as restoring a powerful sense of rejuvenation, health and strength.
Wake to the sounds of the birds as you begin your morning Hatha practice with an energized beach walk to warm up, followed by preparatory limbering, postures, a variety of breathing techniques and relaxation. Join us again in the evening as we smooth out the muscles with gentle stretching before slipping into deep progressive yoga relaxation or meditation to complete this relaxed filled experience.
Our practice incorporates a sequence of postures designed to work on the major organs of the body, the respiratory and central nervous system. The aim is to balance and strengthen the body, targeting hormone-producing glands, which shape us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
The retreat provides an opportunity for participants to work comfortably at their own level. It is particularly suited for beginner to average students. Whilst a subtle body is the outcome of a disciplined practice, our attention is on creating a flexible attitude and calm mind.
If your fantasy is to gently unwind your body and mind under the cool breeze of the tropical coconut palms, this retreat is the place for you.
