What is The Deep Dive retreat?
The Deep Dive Retreat is unique blend of yoga, personal development and coaching designed to strengthen the body, calm the mind and nurture the soul.
At its core, The Deep Dive Retreat helps people bring the mind & body connection into their everyday lives in a meaningful way. Daily yoga sessions are interspersed with supportive group learning experiences. You will learn about the wisdom of the body, gain tools for psychological well-being and have the opportunity to gain clarity on any decisions you are facing.
mind
The ‘mind’ work on a Deep Dive takes place in group sessions, through optional 1-1 coaching & helped by powerful self-guided reflection. We integrate a variety of psychological approaches & an understanding of how adult humans grow, develop & find peace. Each individual Deep Diver takes what they need from these sessions, but our experience shows that the most common benefits are: a greater awareness of your internal belief systems & tools to shift perspective; learning how to use your ‘felt-sense’ - the natural wisdom of the body- to resolve issues & dilemmas; greater ability to create an inner state of calm in any moment; greater clarity on decisions or life-choices you are wanting to make - big or small.
Most importantly, these sessions are run in a safe, supportive environment which is best suited for personal learning and growth.
body
The Deep Dive Retreat uses traditional hatha based flow and yin yoga fused with intuitive and modern day bodywork practices to support individuals on a journey back into their own bodies.
We work intentionally during our yoga sessions to develop strength, flexibility and balance, both physically and emotionally. Using a person-centred approach to working with the body, we are able to provide a truly individual experience on The Deep Dive Retreat. Come as you are and go from there.
The morning body sessions are designed to dynamically wake up the body with healthy alignment and core connection, whilst evening classes focus on yin yoga, subtle energetics and yoga psychology.
All sessions aim to create a space for individuals to feel, breathe, move and heal the body where required. The body sessions weave seamlessly into the work we do in the mind space, which can be the missing link in truly understanding the power and wisdom of the body.
nature
We believe the location for the Deep Dive Retreat to be the final, key element of the experience. If the practices are the tools, the location is the canvas on which everything is created. All our venues are carefully selected retreat spaces that offer the perfect backdrop to pause, reflect & learn.
In 2023 we are returning to Domaine de Mournac in SW France which lends itself perfectly to mountain walks, astonishing scenery and perfect peace. This location offers Deep Divers a truly ‘in nature’ experience, a cornerstone for the work we do.
If the location nurtures the soul, the food offered on The Deep Dive Retreat will nurture your body. All our retreat venues provide delicious, healthy vegetarian meals and the opportunity to learn how to eat mindfully and in ways that support your energy & overall health.
