Soulbody Yoga – Infinite expansion into the depth of who you are

The Yoga classes at Peaceheaven retreat are all inclusive, for all physical abilities, as alternatives are offered for every posture whenever needed. This can be to make it more challenging or to accomodate individual limitations. It is my ethos to make Yoga accessible for all, yet an interest in spirituality will be useful to deepen your awareness and discover your true self. We practice spirituality on the mat and what is learnt on the mat can be applied to your daily life, so you approach life with more joy and contentment. Whilst we will work physically the best results are achieved through also working with our subtle bodies. As the mind becomes more open, the body becomes more mobile and subtle. This means you change your body by coming closer to your true authentic self. www.peaceheaven.life
The classes take place with limited numbers inside, however sometimes if the weather is calls for it, we do the class outside. This also ensures that we are earthed. Nothing like doing a tree pose on grass. When we have to be inside:  We practice in a beautiful 100 square meter conservatory, the sun shala. The hall is continuously infused with propolis and boswellia to cleanse the air. The shala is fully equipped. Each Yoga session has its own rhythm and you will leave feeling energised yet relaxed. We adjust your posture in the poses via physical contact if you are okay with that and we also endeavour to make our instructions easy to understand and follow so you can find your most optimal effective and safe way to practice and adjust yourself. We look forward to seeing you in this beautiful oasis of peace.

Here in Peacehaven, UK about six miles from Brighton, we have created a beautiful timeless space where you can energise and regenerate as well as increase your suppleness and strength through Asana, Pranayama, Meditation, Soundbath, posture training and Self-study. Soulbody yoga brings together Vajrasati Yoga blending Iyengar and Scariavelli, Thai Massage and Bothmer practices, creating a unique space from which you will return feeling more upright, calm yet full of energy. Spirituality is at the core of this practice and yogic philosophy is woven into the sessions. We believe that there are subtle bodies beyond the mere physical body. When we heal our subtle bodies this creates a space in which the physical body naturally lets go of imprints and conditionings. With loving kindness we look at ourselves and our conditioned responses to heal the underlying causes of trauma on a psychological and physical level. This Yoga approach is novel yet authentic in that many different modalities that help us reconnect with our true nature and undo habits that don't serve us are blended together. In this way many of the philosophical principles of Yoga are at the heart of the physical practice.

Truthfulness, Non-violence, Non-grasping and Self Study to name but a few. It is a yoga of self-exploration, supported by deep and coordinated breathing. This is a hands on yoga session with the aim of improving your intuition, flow in postures whilst reconnecting with your true self. All you need to bring is time! Classes are held in a beautiful light space benefiting from underfloor heating. iAMi Retreat Centre is an oasis of peace in north Peacehaven, backing onto the tranquil landscape of the South Downs. Classes are limited to 10 participants so book in a advance to secure your space.
Occasionally we also run childrens residential and day retreats. Here therapeutic Games, active Games, Yoga, Meditation, Chanting, Mindfulness, Gardening, Cooking, Household Chores (Washing up, Walking our dog Bernie, Tidying the Yoga space), Sensory Games, Meditative Walking, Slacklining and 5 rhythm dancing are carefully weaved into a program that unplugs children playfully away from internet and phone addiction. Satisfying, wholesome activities instead of computer games is the ethos we bring.
