The interiors have two good quality 3/4 day beds, a fireplace, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower. Each has solar power, a hot water geyser and cooking is with gas.

Practical Schedule:

We have a schedule of daily led meditation (morning and evening) and pranayama. We will meet for practice together, early morning, mid -morning and sunset. Meals are taken together in silence. 

The focus of this retreat will be on the more subtle seated yoga practices and Yoga Nidra rather than asana (postures) but those participants who already have an established asana self-practice will have space and time to practice on their own at their cottage.

There will be time for walking, relaxing, journaling, and reading and optional cold plunging.
