busy-ness of life, to revive and inspire your practice, to make space for
creativity and be blessed with inspiration, and to feel the support of a
loving, nurturing yoga community.
Lucy will teach in English & basic Japanese with full Japanese translation
by the very lovely & talented Yuko Iwasaki.

into the silence and stillness of our own divine Being and to listen more
closely to the wisdom of the Heart (silent periods will help us feel deeper
into this).To go on retreat is a beautiful way to take time out from the
busy-ness of life, to revive and inspire your practice, to make space for
creativity and be blessed with inspiration, and to feel the support of a
loving, nurturing yoga community.
Lucy will teach in English & basic Japanese with full Japanese translation
by the very lovely & talented Yuko Iwasaki.
