Rivendell offers several retreats which integrate Buddhist meditation and yoga. For those who already practice yoga the conditions of a retreat allow you to take your experience of yoga much deeper. The added dimension of meditation helps to calm and concentrate the mind, and connect us more fully with our bodies.
This year we are pleased to introduce several new yoga teachers to Rivendell. All are highly experienced both in teaching yoga and Buddhist practice. The whole retreat will take place in an overall context of Buddhism and an introduction to Buddhist meditation will be taught on the retreat by a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order. The retreat will also include Buddhist devotional practice and chanting.
Typically, on these retreats there will be two comprehensive sessions of yoga a day, alongside meditation instruction, discussion and quiet time to reflect and unwind.
Please note: These retreats are for those who already regularly practice yoga and are not suitable for complete beginners.
