Description
Learn easy yoga asanas to do at home to prevent writer's back pain, experience the transformative power and relax deeply to the ancient sounds of Himalayan singing bowls. Release physical and emotional blockages with Yin Yoga and gentle flow sequences. Re-connect with your true voice and tap into your inner wisdom through writing. Re-energise in the vibrant environment of the world heritage town of Hoi An. This retreat is suitable for anybody who believes in the soul nourishing power of writing. Whether you have an established writing practice or have always wanted to write but never had the time. There will be plenty of free writing time, guided writing exercises, workshops and feedback, including one-on-one feedback. The retreat is designed to nourish mind, body and soul. Feedback will be constructive and gentle and you have the option to share as much or as little of your writing as you wish.
Discover the therapeutic benefits of writing. Writing feeds the soul, provides release and weaves new meaning into our lives. By writing things down, we give voice to our emotions, we untangle what is messy and painful, we name our fears, hopes and desires and we release long-held stories and limiting beliefs. Imagine a deeply effective self-care practice that is always available to you! Most days begin with gentle yoga and sound bowl balancing meditations and end with opportunities for after dinner chats and readings. We combine the quiet, contemplative practice of Yin Yoga with gentle Hatha Yoga to connect deeply. Yin Yoga is as much a physical practice of releasing tension, softening and lubricating tight muscles and joints, as it is a contemplative practice in stillness. Yin Yoga is a natural companion practice to writing. It challenges us to sit in stillness with our physical edge and to observe whatever arises. Observing our reactions when staying with our physical edge, trains the mind to become focused. We observe from the inside out, like a writer.

10 Pictures of the Accommodation and Location
The retreat is held at An Villa Boutique Resort. Ideally located half way between Cua Dai beach and the charming World Heritage-listed old town of Hoi An. Situated right on the river, this small boutique resort is a tranquil oasis amid palm trees and tropical gardens in a peaceful authentic Vietnamese neighbourhood. There are six unique living spaces – ranging from two-person studios to three-bedroom family villas – designed by a French expat architect and furnished with an eye for artistic detail. Each living space comes with a private garden or terrace and a well-equipped kitchen, though you’ll hardly be cooking at home during this retreat. There are plenty of quiet spaces to retreat in contemplative stillness and to connect with your creative flow.
