SUMMARY:"SPRING INTO NOURISHMENT " - Retreat with Linda Franke and Restful Yoga Team (NOW SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:“SPRING INTO NOURISHMENT”  – Retreat with Linda Franke and Restful Yoga Team\n  \nABOUT THIS RETREAT \nThis retreat is all about nurturing and nourishing gut\, body\, mind. \nI love this for myself and to share with you as we open our hearts to more love – for self\, for others\, for life. \nMy Buddhist teacher said once  “Don’t waste this life” a statement with so much impact. \n\nOnce again it feels like another level of slowing down\, calming mind and bringing awareness to the subtle moments so that we don’t miss the joy available to us.\n\nThe season of Spring lends itself to new beginnings and to step into more awareness and concentration on what we want for this life.\n\n\nNourish the Body with Restful Restorative Yoga\nStretch and unwind with Yin Yoga\nQi gong and TCM Exercises\nNourish the mind with Mindful Meditation practice\nNourish the gut with plant based menu\nLearn the art of cooking soul food with Chef Isabel Ross from brassica catering\nNourish the spirit with Forest and ocean bathing\nNurturing massage and body treatments\n\n“Let go of what holds back joy and embrace the four elements of a peaceful Mindset”\n  \nABOUT LINDA  \nYou might ask why I facilitate Restful Yoga and Therapy\nI used to be one of those ‘over doers’. If there was a prize for being the ‘Queen of overdrive’ I would have won it. I only realised later that this aligned with a deep need to be seen as okay and to feel accepted and respected. When I was young\, if we were sitting around we would quickly be told to “get going and do something”\, “stop lobbing around”. My parents seemed to be always busy\, especially with six children and businesses\, and as a little girl I often felt alone and unimportant. This deeply ingrained belief to be busy led me into adrenal fatigue. \nFrom the energy bunny to exhausted with no energy for life. \nI had to really train myself to relax and not feel lazy in the process. It was a mental\, physical and emotional journey. I had learnt that the best way to distract myself from a feeling is to start getting busy\, to simply ‘do stuff.’ And soon we get addicted. We feed that addiction\, and need it\, and end up with little respect or need for rest. \nMeanwhile our body\, mind and spirit suffer. \nAs I began to self nourish with restful yoga and mindful teachings that I believe can nourish the spirit\, the true essence of who I am evolved. I started to feel involved in life in a more full way as it spread across everything I did. And by the way this is still a work in progress. \nI understand that being more still and breathing with awareness can be challenging at first. So start slowly. Maybe 15 minutes per day. From my decades-long experience as a Psychotherapist\, I understand we all have beliefs that don’t serve us well – not being good enough\, not being loveable\, or deserving of relationships\, a sense of not belonging or able to feel real joy in the simple things. \nWhat I facilitate in Restful Yoga and Therapy is not just yoga\, stillness or therapy\, it’s a way to heal the soul without a fuss. It’s a way to gently sneak up on the defenses that keep us unconscious and unhappy\, and open a gateway to quiet joy in everything. \nQuiet joy that penetrates every moment\, even the busy ones\, and begins to slowly transform our experience of life. \n  \n21st – 23rd NOVEMBER 2025 \n  \nBOOKINGS AND ENQUIRIES \nLINDA – https://restfulyogaandtherapy.com/ \nnowlindab@gmail.com \n  \n
