Autumn, a period of transition, is a time for self-nourishment and reflection. The season of autumn invites us to explore an inward and introspective energy both on and off our yoga mats. This is a time of year where we slow down, contemplate, and experience gratitude, abundance, and letting go. With autumn theme in mind we would love to invite you for a one day Nurture, Nourish and Restore Retreat Day on Saturday 1st October 2022 in beautiful surroundings of New Forest with yoga teachers Jennifer Kesik and Karen Stanberry. 

The day will offer you a beautiful combination on nourishing vinyasa flow, nourishing pranayama, meditation and deeply resting yin and Yoga Nidra practice. Time out for yourself isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Respect your body when it's asking for a break. Respect your mind when it's seeking rest. Honour yourself when you need a moment. We hope to connect with you on the mat.

YOUR HOSTS

Jennifer Kesik
Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga Teacher, Yoga Retreats Facilitator 
Jenny's yoga journey began back in 2009 as a cure to the back pain caused by scoliosis which she developed while competing as a professional windsurfer. Jenny was amazed how positively her body responded to yoga and what started with simple stretching quickly turned into a regular practice. After 8 years of regular practice in 2016 Jenny traveled to India and completed a 200h yoga intensive Ashtanga/Vinyasa teacher training at Sampoorna Yoga Institute in India. Following completing her teachers' training course she went on and explored Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore where she studied under Ajay Kumar at his Shala Shalam 8 for 3 months. Practice in Mysore has certainly influenced Jenny's teaching. What initially started purely as a physical practice took Jennifer on spiritual journey and inner exploration. Currently Jennifer teaches predominantly dynamic vinyasa and ashtanga classes in Bournemouth, UK where she has lived for the last 13 years. She organises workshops and since 2017 runs yoga retreat company All Flow Yoga through which she has run over 10 international retreats around the world.  
KAREN STANBERRY 
Mindset Coach, Yoga Teacher, Rest Facilitator, Life Skills Mentor
Karen Stanberry has been teaching yoga for the last twenty years since her initial studies with the British Wheel of Yoga. Her journey into yoga began when diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in her early twenties. Determined not to let this diagnosis take over her life she turned to yoga. With dedicated practice, she began to turn her life around and as a result, wanted to train as a yoga teacher and help others do the same. Since qualifying as a teacher, Karen has undergone further studies in yoga, meditation, sleep meditation, anatomy, psychology, mindset coaching, and the natural world and interweaves all of this wisdom into her teachings and coaching sessions.

Karen’s true passion lies in empowering you to be the change you wish to see in yourself. She will help you to slow down and attend to the deeper layers of your being whilst harmonising the balance between your inner conversation and your outer conversation. 
Time with Karen will enliven your mind, open your heart, and soothe your soul. She will lead you to a deeper knowing and acceptance of yourself through a masterful blend of mindfulness, loving-kindness, coaching practices, and attention cues for your body, mind, and heart.


We are looking forward
to seeing you on the mat!
