We invite you to join in this unique yoga retreat for women to deepen your connection to your cyclical wisdom. We will explore the workings of the nervous system, the wisdom of cycles both in your body, life and in nature and how living in a more cyclical way impacts your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 

 

Blending the ancient wisdom from yoga and tantra with insights from modern science, this yoga retreat offers a holistic perspective on cyclical awareness, the divine feminine and your body’s innate wisdom. 

 

This yoga retreat aims to provide a non-judgmental and supportive space for women to learn, share, and gain insights—through yoga, embodied practices, and meaningful discussions—that nurture a deeper appreciation for your body’s natural rhythms.

“The psyches and souls of women also have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying, being involved and being removed, questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul-place.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés (Women who Run with the Wolves)

AN OVERVIEW: Yoga Retreat for Women – Sacred Cycles 

​Over the course of this yoga retreat, we will dive into how our body’s cycles shape our energy, emotions, and well-being.  We’ll explore practical tools to align your yoga practice with your body’s rhythms, creating space to connect with your inner wisdom and exploring how to integrate this wisdom into your everyday life.  

 

During the morning yoga sessions, we will practice yoga to connect with our feminine wisdom, journeying through our inner experiences, respecting our body’s messages, allowing space for rest and self-expression. The yoga sessions will incorporate various techniques such as pranayama, asana, relaxation and meditation techniques. These techniques are based on traditional Hatha Yoga but also integrate the evolving field of Hormone Yoga and somatic movement.  

The theory classes in this retreat focus on learning about the role of the nervous system and how trauma is stored in the body.  We will look at how attuning to our needs as women impacts our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Together we will explore cyclical wisdom teachings including menstrual cycle awareness and seasonal cycles as a way to live more in tune with yourself and nature.  Anna will invite you for an exploration of challenges and powers of each phase of these cycles.  As women, connecting to our cyclical wisdom is essential for supporting both our physical and emotional needs. 

 

This yoga retreat for women also includes daily Women’s Circles, to create a space to connect with each other, share our stories, inspire and support each other. During these circles, we would also explore some of the concepts from theory class through movement, dance, music and other artistic expressions.

IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?

This retreat is designed for women who want to deepen their connection to their cyclical body, align their yoga practice with their natural rhythms, including the menstrual cycle as well as embracing different phases of life. While this retreat is open to all women, it might be more beneficial to those who already practise yoga and want to dive deeper into the wisdom of their body.  

 

For Yoga Teachers : This retreat offers invaluable insights for yoga teachers who wish to better support their female students. You’ll deepen your understanding of how women’s natural rhythms influence energy levels and practice, and learn to adapt your teaching to honour these cyclical shifts. This includes modifying sequences, offering specific yoga practices and creating a nurturing environment that encourages students to listen to their bodies. This retreat will leave you  equipped with practical tools and knowledge to enhance your teaching practice. 

 

In this retreat, we will use the menstrual cycle wisdom to guide us in our inner seasons. If you are no longer in your menstruating years, you will be invited to apply the inner seasons into your current phase of life. The inner seasons are our compass and apply to all stages of life.

If you are pregnant attending this retreat, you will need to let Anna know.  Some parts of the retreat will be equally beneficial to you while others might be interesting to explore when you are not pregnant. Some of the yoga practices might not be suitable for you. If you are pregnant and thinking of joining the retreat, you can reach out to Anna before signing up.
