The Hypnotic Yoga Retreat Structure
Each day there are individual sessions led by the three retreat facilitators which incorporate activities focussing on the theme of the day. The daily themes are designed for the participants to embark on a journey over the five days to rediscover themselves and heal the life contexts that have built the facade of personality they present to the world.
The Daily Themes
Monday 4th November – Orientation to the Retreat Environment, Forget the rush and stress of everyday life, connect with self through mind and body relaxation and nature
Tuesday 5th November – Current Life Reflection, - exploring your present life and your patterns of disconnection and connection across all life areas. How did you become who you think you are?
Wednesday 6th November – Exploration of Your Past – a deep and honest reflection of life’s events that have shaped you and built you the illusion of the current you, it’s a life charade because it’s not a reflection of who you are, the real you is coming back.
Thursday 7th November - Let the Healing Begin - reflecting and healing the traumas of your past to break free of shackles that have held you down for years. Get ready for FREEDOM, this is deep healing
Friday 8th November - Unleashing the Freedom of YOURSELF – It’s time to celebrate the new you and the real you.

‘Journey to the Centre of Self' -Retreat Processes
Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy - Hypnosis is the process of accessing deep states of consciousness and heightened awareness of your inner self by bypassing your everyday logical and critical mind. Hypnosis has been used for over 6,000 years in ancient cultures for healing and well-being. For example, the Egyptians built 'Sleep or Dream' Temples, where people were assisted into a trance state by Shamans to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Hypnotherapy is the process of applying hypnosis for therapeutic healing and utilises the hypnotic state of trance to heal deep-rooted psychological problems, addictions, and deeply held chronic emotions.
Yoga - Yoga is an ancient practice that unifies Mind, Body, and Soul, offering a transformative journey towards self-discovery and inner harmony. Yoga stands as a key element in connecting with your true self. As you move through postures, breathe mindfully, and cultivate awareness, you're not just working on your physical body - you're nurturing your entire being. This practice builds strength, enhances flexibility, and improves mobility while simultaneously clearing the mind, sharpening your focus, and fostering inner peace.
Our programme covers a diverse range of yoga styles, including Power, Hatha, Nidra, Yin, and Vinyasa. Yoga offers powerful benefits for your overall health, natural body detoxification, boosting your immune system and overall vitality by regulating the nervous system, and promoting better stress management and emotional balance.
Expressional Dance - Ancient cultures naturally had a greater level of awareness of their bodies than people living in the modern disconnected era (as do current Indigenous cultures) and used movement and dance as a method of accessing deep states of consciousness for self-expression and healing. Expressional Dance, in our retreat, draws upon dance styles from ecstatic dance, transcendental embodiment, and ancient dance forms for people to naturally move their bodies to express their current inner states. The stream of the dance builds an embodied flow state for self-expression of states articulating your deeper self through movement and dance for healing
The combination of the retreat therapeutic processes will enable you to embark on a healing journey to release the stuck emotions and emotional traumas that have weighed you down on your life journey. You will break the charade of the fictional you that you unconsciously present to others for you to naturally be the congruent you that is true to the core of who you are.
All are welcome, beginners and those with experience will benefit enormously. The Yoga classes are user-friendly and will cater for different body types and levels of experience. The dance Expressional Dance Sessions are freestyle, there are no rules or steps to follow. Hypnosis will include stillness and inward focus as well as walking meditations in the forest.
