YIN & YANG RETREAT

with Sarah

7 DAYS - 08.07- 15.07.2024

Estoril, Portugal

THE PHILOSOPHY OF YIN AND YANG.

Yin and Yang are the two forces of life, never static but in a constant state of dynamic equilibrium, flowing and transitioning into one another, neither existing without the other. It is a powerful symbolism that can be applied to various aspects of life, reminding us of our interconnectedness, the coexistence of opposites and an inherent balance in our universe. Equally unexpected, contradicting, but yet unified are YOGA and SURFING.

Yin Yoga, on the one hand, is a passive and introspective practice that encourages stillness and relaxation. Surfing, on the other hand, is an active and dynamic sport that requires strength, agility, and focus. Yin yoga complements the active side of surfing by providing a balance between surrender and effort, movement and stillness. Yin yoga will get you into a state of deep relaxation. It focuses on elements such as acupressure, loosening of fascial tissue, and meditation. It helps to improve flexibility, increase joint mobility, and release tension stored in the body.

Wholeheartedly, we would like to welcome you to our yin and yang retreat!

Balance both aspects of your being, your yin with yoga and your yang with surfing!

SARAH

A profound transformation unfolded for Sarah following her first yoga session. Initially drawn to more dynamic and Yang-oriented yoga styles, Sarah soon found herself yearning for a practice that would nurture inner tranquility. It was through the introduction from a friend that she encountered Yin Yoga, and was soon captivated.

After finishing her university studies, Sarah embarked on the path of becoming a yoga instructor. Her journey led her to the esteemed origins of yoga in India, where she undertook a teacher training. Since attaining certification as a Yoga Alliance and Yin Yoga Therapy Teacher in 2022, Sarah has practiced yoga across diverse cultural landscapes. Having taught in Japan and currently teaching in Austria, Sarah tries to combine an array of different experiences in her classes. So if you are looking for a holistic yoga practice that includes conscious touch, music, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), herbal remedies, acupressure and mindfulness, Sarah’s classes are awaiting you.

Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that Sarah will be offering massage sessions during our retreat, as Sarah is currently completing a Thai massage course.
