January 2018 brought the first Inspiral Yoga Retreat Day which took place in Kent's North Downs AONB in order to observe the silence of Winter and to integrate its qualities into a daily morning routine. It included various Yogic practices throughout the day, showered with a delicious vegan food menu to satisfy all taste buds of attending Yogis.

 

The year of 2019 made these events downsize in scale to half-day gatherings but followed a resembling concept of spoiling those who took part not only on the mat but also at the dinner table, continuing to bring Alexandra's love for fresh hearty nourishing food in the Yogic mix.

 

It's as if it was the preparation for what was to come as during 2020 - 2021, Inspiral Yogis just about remained connected via Zoom with hardly any chances to even meet up for an outdoor practice, let alone for a whole day of inner exploration in a peaceful cosy setup indoors!

 

Finally, 2022 brought the light from the end of the tunnel back into our lives and gave us the go ahead once again for full days of celebrations so we can honour the natural cycles of Mother Earth the way we know best, and reap all the rewards she has to offer us unconditionally! As the energetic veil grows thinner around equinox and solstice time, the potency of our intentions and spiritual work is firmly supported by her love, strength and resilience from which there is so much to learn as we align with her rhythm of life.

​

Coming to the mat for a lengthier experience during these influential times of the year when the seasons change, we can draw away from the whirlwind of everyday life in which we can so often get caught up. In return, we can finally let go of all distractions and immerse ourselves fully into a state of objective introspection and fulfilling soul-searching, trusting that the answers and the wisdom for which we are looking are always available to us if we are willing to sit, listen and receive them as they are.

 

All four parts of the Seasons' Celebrations 2022 are unfolding in Inspiral Yoga's tranquil countryside home studio at Udimore Village Hall overlooking a pear orchard in the High Weald AONB, East Sussex. The RETREAT Days follow a similar structure so that there is a sense of familiarity and belonging if you take part in more than one event but each of them investigates  a different theme journeying through the 7 Chakras and the 5 Elements. The program includes practices such as Pranayama, Flow Yoga, Walking Meditation, Journaling, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, a Sound Bath, and a flavoursome seasonal organic vegan breakfast and lunch menu.
