Retreat with Fraya Zella Wolf

TURNING INWARD

Through therapeutic yoga, presence and sound healing

A day to slow down, soften and surrender.

In a world that asks us to keep doing, thinking and being productive, Turning Inward is an invitation to do something different.

A day to get out of your head and into your body, to rest deeply and reconnect with yourself — so you can return to everyday life feeling more grounded, centred, present and able to listen to what your body truly needs.

Slow down. Become still. Listen inwardly. Allow the body to soften and discover what becomes possible when there is nothing you need to achieve.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Florence House, between the South Downs and the sea, this nourishing one-day retreat brings together therapeutic yoga, breathwork, fascia flow, presence, deep rest and sound healing.

At points throughout the day, you will also have access to Florence House’s beautiful yurt — a peaceful space to step away, contemplate, journal, reflect or simply spend some quiet time on your own.

Drawing on the ancient wisdom of Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga alongside contemporary trauma-informed and somatic approaches, Fraya will gently guide you beyond the idea of yoga as simply physical exercise and towards yoga as an inward practice and guiding philosophy — a way of becoming more present to your body, your inner experience and yourself.

Throughout the day we will explore themes of freedom and choice, awakening the witness, cultivating equanimity and opening to a heart-centred connection.

You will be invited to experience:

• Gentle therapeutic yoga and embodied nervous-system practices
• Breathwork, meditation, stillness and presence
• An introduction to the inward journey through Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga
• Practices for cultivating the witness and greater equanimity
• Yoga Nidra and the art of deep rest
• Space to pause, journal, reflect and simply be
• Quiet time in Florence House’s yurt
• Sound healing with chimes and therapeutic sound
• A deeply relaxing Peter Hess® Vibration Massage experience with singing bowls, offered by guest practitioner Maja Dethloff

This is not a conventional yoga class

The day is gentle, spacious and invitational, and is suitable for people with different levels of yoga experience, including none at all. You do not need to be “good at yoga” because this day is much less about the asanas — the postures, which are just one of the eight limbs — and much more about the other, more inward aspects of yoga.

The emphasis will be on listening to your body, honouring choice and discovering practices that support safety, presence and a deeper, more intimate relationship with yourself, leading to greater self-awareness and greater awareness of Self in relation to others.

This is a trauma-informed day and may particularly speak to you if life has felt busy, stressful or overwhelming; if you find it difficult to stop; if you have been living with the effects of stress or trauma; or if you simply long for more stillness, rest and space to reconnect with yourself.

Come alone, with a friend or with your partner.

Slow down. Soften. Surrender.
