Pakefield Retreat Centre

Kurmasana – a Hidden Language Hatha Yoga Workshop – Saturday 22 November
“When like the tortoise which withdraws on all sides its limbs, he [the aspirant] withdraws his senses from the sense objects, the wisdom becomes steady” (from The Bhagavad Gita)
Our perception of the world is only possible through our senses, and often we find it difficult to control our reactions to what is going on in our lives and around us in the world. Temporarily retreating from all sense perceptions can help us to restore or preserve our energy. Working with Hatha Yoga asanas, mind and body can be refreshed as we tune into our inner wisdom.
When: 2 pm – 3.15 pm Saturday 22 November
Cost: Suggested payment – £15
