Yoga & Meditation Weekend (with Vidyadasa & Lokadhi)

This retreat is suitable for those who have a regular meditation practice and who regularly attend retreats, a centre or a group within the context of the Triratna Buddhist Community. You will also need to be familiar with, and happy to participate in, Triratna Buddhist devotional practice and ritual (puja), be comfortable with extended periods of sitting meditation and the possibility on some retreats of periods spent in silence.

Start the year as you mean to go on!

Vidyadasa and Lokadhī are delighted to welcome you back to share another yoga and mindfulness meditation weekend at Rivendell: mindful hatha yoga sessions - deep sensing and exploring of body-mind and reflective embodied/psychological inquiry of Embodied Yoga - (includes some verbal communication and social connection). Interleaved with a poetic approach to mindfulness meditation to make yoga and meditation effective for creating helpful qualities for daily life.

Both Vidyadasa and Lokadhī are experienced teachers and practitioners in their fields.

Vidyadasa enjoys sharing a blend of yoga,coaching and embodiment practice inspired by exploring Buddhist practice of 30 years.

Lokadhī has over 20 years’ meditation teaching experience, specialising in mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches and bringing both into her work as a therapist/counsellor.
