Dartmoor Walk, more painting, or more yoga…

There will be strong yogasana and stretches for adepts, gentler limberings for others, we all work in ways suitable for our present state of health and energy. Iyengar based yoga style, modified.

An upright sitting meditation posture with cushions is taught and encouraged. Some prefer to use a chair or even lie down. The sitting is interspersed with walking-meditation.

Walking meditation may be outside, (bring warm clothes and walking shoes).

Delicious vegetarian meals, we ask some help with clearing up please.

A relaxed silence upheld most of the time allows our minds and bodies to expand into spacious joyful awareness in the present-moment.

Only 10 people. Single rooms £250, (less if sharing) Extra day £20. Please bring sheets, towels, yoga mat, any special diet food, warm garments and shoes/boots for outdoor walking.

This place, previously Zeal cottage, is now renamed Bala Brook.

'Bala' is the name of the brook that pours down the edge of the property into the Avon, in Celtic it means stream of water. In Sanskrit, it refers to the energy and vigour required for yoga-meditation spiritual evolvement.

Bala Brook (aka "Zeal cottage") is on the left in a dip just before a little bridge over the Bala, 3 minutes before Shipley Bridge.
