YOGA

Henley Hall is pleased to bring a residential ‘Yoga Retreat’ to Henley Hall - a structured programme combining yoga and teaching focussed on de-stressing, positive thinking and renewal - designed to improve the wellbeing of the individual. 

Each session begins with a quiet period of stillness and centring to settle the body, breath and mind.  The physical yoga practice follows, which incorporates a wide range of asanas (postures), including forward folds, back bends, side bends, twists, balances and some inversions, all designed to develop strength, flexibility and concentration.  Poses are woven together in slow-flowing, mindful sequences, in which one pose flows effortlessly into the next.  Students are also encouraged to explore different breathing techniques (pranayama) and to experiment with some concentration and meditation practices.  A period of relaxation brings each class to a close, enabling students to leave the session feeling calm and refreshed.

We have postponed our retreats for Autumn 2020 but have dates proposed for 2021, subject to COVID regulations.

Testimonials

I really enjoy your classes and very much appreciate your carefully planned practices. Each session is a treat of ‘me time’, which allows me to switch off from the worrying outside world and focus on yoga. I know it helps my physical being but it is such a powerful help in balancing my mental state too.

Vanessa

Judy was highly recommended by a friend and my first class with her didn’t disappoint. I have had many yoga teachers and Judy ranks as one of the very best. She incorporates gentle but challenging movements which are made appropriate for all abilities. The group is friendly and welcoming and the classes are very calming and relaxing. I feel stronger, taller and more flexible already.

Alison

A wonderful teacher for yoga enthusiasts of all levels! Judy’s yoga class is a highlight of my week and has helped me physically and mentally through the demands and stresses of the last five years.
