♥ OPENING TO GRACE RETREAT 2018 ♥
NOW IN ITS 10TH AMAZING YEAR!
10TH AUGUST – 17TH AUGUST 2018

By popular request, we have booked the same beautiful venue as the previous 2 summers and we look forward to welcoming you to
♥ Oldford Farm Cottages, Frome, near Bath, BA11 2NF ♥


The retreat will start at 5pm on Friday 10th August and end at 11.30am on Friday 17th August. 

On this beautiful retreat we share community living and an ashram-style timetable – so there is opportunity for spaciousness and silence, as well as daily hatha yoga classes, meditation, interesting workshops & talks, walks and beautiful kirtans and satsangs.

Watch this space to see which wonderful beings will be joining us to offer their wisdom, light, music and love with us this summer – the Summer of the Heart. So far invitations have been accepted by the beautiful Annie Malone and our lovely Tim Chalice, and crossing fingers for our very own Lalitha to come and sing with us. 

The amazing Spoken Word Artist,, Anjali will be coming from Germany to lead us in a poetry workshop that she shares with excluded children and prisoners and which will culminate in a live poetry slam experience! This is definitely a first for Heart Of Living Yoga ♥ but we hope the first of many.

We have booked the Farmhouse, Parlour, Dairy and Barn which gives us a lot of flexible accommodation. You can look on their website (http://executiveholidays.co.uk/our-cottages/) to see which room you might like.

We’ll also have a beautiful big marquee again for our hatha yoga, meditation, kirtan and Satsang space. We are very much looking forward to spending another grace-filled week together - meditating, cooking and living together as one lovely family, practising ashram living.

If you have any questions, please email Sridevi, our bookings angel, who will be able to answer any queries whilst I am away in India. Her email address is below in the bookings section.

And if you'd like to see more of what Heart Of Living Yoga is all about you can visit our website at www.heartoflivingyoga.com or our Facebook pages Heart Of Living Yoga Foundation (charity work) and Heart Of Living Yoga Teacher Training or Heart Of Living Yoga.

I am looking forward to being together with you all again and to all our hearts Opening to Grace
You are all amazing!
