Mat Academy Half Day Yoga Retreat - Saturday 18th July - Pontypridd
 
Join Claudia, Dan and Lew for a Half Day Yoga Retreat at The Mat Academy - Lew's academy for Martial Arts. We've decided to make the most of the lighter evenings and bring you half-day starting at 3:30pm and finishing at 9pm
 
We'll begin with a 90-minute Ashtanga practice with Lew, where we'll move through the traditional primary series. Don't worry if you haven't tried Ashtanga, before it's scalable and everything is explained along the way.
 
After Lew's class it's time to eat! We've arranged for Dusty's to prepare us some fresh pizzas which we'll enjoy with a cold alcohol-free beer.
 
The next class is Yin Yoga with Dan. a 60-minute calming class which will feature longer holds, made comfortable with props, blocks and bolsters. Just enough movement, but not too much after we've eaten.

Then we have a break for a calming herbal tea and the chance to pull a Spirit Animal Card for reflection and intention setting.
 
We finish with Claudia in the last of the daylight for a relaxing Sunset Sound Bath. Total stillness as you allow sounds and vibrations from various instruments to wash over you. A deeply relaxing experience to close out our time together.
 
Things to bring:
Comfortable clothing - layers can be handy 
A Bolster cushion for Yin would be very helpful if you have one
Anything you need for the Sound Bath - A pillow, a blanket, an eye mask are all nice options, but not essential. Anything that might help you to feel cosy and comfy.
