After the weekend retreat.

After another brilliant weekend retreat ( March) the sun was shining and spring most definitely in the air, we were given a lot of food for thought.
The first one is about how powerful these weekends are, and how much people really detox; particularly, physically, emotionally, mentally. People that have been on these retreats before seem to be fairly o.k. i.e not having major headaches or feeling sick, but new comers do seem to have quite a reaction (don't let it put you off)
So we have decided to give participants some pre-course advice, about cutting down (or out) caffeine, teas, coffees, coke (cola) etc. and making an effort to drink more water leading up to the event. Also trying not to be flying around like a mad thing up till Friday afternoon, then of course everything just comes spilling out as soon as you stop!
I don't think maybe we realise how much holding on we do in this life, thinking we always have to have a brave face, not saying so many of the things we want to say, and also not actually having time to be with ourselves.
It never ceases to amaze us how people turn up on Friday evening looking stressed and somewhat anxious, and go home (not really wanting to) looking years younger, relaxed, feeling so much stronger and with some great tools in their Yoga tool box!
So many people say that time just isn't the same once you walk through that door, so much happens, so many positive changes.
Anyway if your reading this maybe try it for yourself!!!!!!! Shanti Silva
