Spring Equinox Yoga Retreat
Compton Dundon nr. Glastonbury Teacher: Lila Conway from only: £240 Friday 20th - Sunday 22nd March, 2020 Earth Spirit (Little Earth) Compton Dundon, nr. Glastonbury, Somerset 2 nights / 3 days Spring into Spring! We celebrate Spring Equinox with nourishing Yoga & Meditation practices to inspire and refocus our energies for the new season ahead. Friday 20th March is officially the start of Spring. "I think Lila is just the best! Her ability to manage a range of experience and ability is exceptional. Although I have done yoga for lots of years I found it of value to focus on the details of several core postures. Her combination of asanas, pranayama and Kirtan is fantastic. (Several people new to Kirtan was blown away by the experience) Also, while being totally authentic and rooted in the substance of yoga..." - Dorset, Sept '19 |

Just five miles from Glastonbury, on the edge of peaceful Compton Dundon village, EarthSpirit lies within the ‘temenos’ (sacred enclosure) of Avalon. The centre has twice won the Kindred Spirit ‘best centre’ award and recently the top 'Gold' award from Green Tourism for the many innovations and sustainability features at the centre. Situated between two hills, one a site of special scientific interest (SSSI), the other a nature reserve. The centre is just two minutes walk from St Andrew’s church, which has within its cemetery a yew tree that’s more than 1,800 years old. Our retreat is in beautiful Little Earth, a purpose-designed retreat centre which is part of the EarthSpirit complex. The lovely light yoga space has a wooden floor with underfloor heating and a view of the garden.

Our Retreat
A Spring Equinox Yoga Retreat is a perfect time to plant and water seeds of wellbeing for body, mind and soul. The coming of Spring after the winter months brings the return of the light and renewed sense of energy. We will have a weekend of energising Hatha Yoga and a restorative/Yin afternoon yoga practice. There will be Meditation, Chanting/Kirtan, nature walks, a fire (weather permitting) and time for reflection or curling up with a book. There will be delicious vegetarian home made meals including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Teas are available throughout the day. We keep our own dining area clean and we ask the group to take turns giving a helping hand to load the dishwasher. Here's an example of our retreat schedule (subject to slight change as necessary).
