Experience serenity, calm and restoration with Andrew’s annual Yoga retreat set in the grounds of the oldest Buddhist Monastery in Europe. This retreat has been run successfully for about 8 years.
Looking out over the River Esk in the peaceful hills of the Scottish borders, ‘Purelands’ at Samye Ling is an ideal setting to inspire, exhilarate and offer time for reflection in our busy lives. The retreat will offer asana, pranayama, meditation and mantra. There will be time and opportunity to walk around the meditation garden, venture up the fairy hill or talk a stroll along the river bank, maybe catching a glimpse of the otters in the unspoiled natural surroundings.
Every morning will be silent as well as one full day of silence (mouna).
Friends are also welcome to observe or participate in the meditations and puja performed in the very colorful traditional Tibetan Buddhist temple.
All accommodation is in basic but comfortable single rooms with three (excellent!) home cooked vegetarian meals a day, drinks available throughout the day.
Price £ 495 which includes all tuition, a single room per person and all meals. Arrival 4 pm, depart 4 pm.
Bookings are now being taken, £100 deposit (non refundable) secures place.
The monastery is about three and half hours drive (from Macclesfield).
Car sharing may be available.
Address: Samye Ling Buddhist Monastery Eskdalemuir Langholm, Dumfriesshire, Scotland
NB this is a yoga retreat not a Buddhist retreat and is open to everyone from beginners to advanced students.

A Day of YogAsana and Meditation with Granville Cousins on Sunday 11th of May.
2014-05-11 10:30
Join Senior Yoga and Meditation Teacher Granville Cousins on Sunday 11th of May 2014 at Pure Yoga Cheshire.

We are thrilled to host Granville again in this special event where he will share some of his immense knowledge of yoga. One of the most renowned and respected teachers in the North of England, Granville has been teaching Yoga for over 20 years in Britain, Ireland and internationally. We are very lucky to have him with us in Macclesfield.
Sunday morning
10:30am to 12:30pm
During this morning session Granville will be guiding you through a sequence of postures to bring freedom to the spinal column, build strength, stamina and co-ordination. These postures are mainly standing poses and are practiced in a particular way of stepping into and out of the postures. This particular method is designed to create less loading on the muscles and joints in the back and have proved to be very beneficial to those who enjoy a strong yoga practice but who may have developed some postural issues in this area. The morning session will conclude with inverted poses including Headstand and Shoulderstand.
Sunday afternoon
13:30pm – 15:30pm
For the afternoon session we will be practicing a more gentle form of yogAsana postures. These are done in a more passive way and the asanas are held for a period of 3 to 5 minutes. We will be working on the Hip Series of postures which prepare the pelvic area and lower spine for sitting postures and meditation. There will be a guided meditation period with an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.
Cost is £35 for the whole day.
A deposit is required to secure your space, please contact Pure Yoga on 07909 144 414 or email info@pureyogacheshire.co.uk.
