Let’s stop for a moment and take the time to air out and give our body and soul a rest. We will gather together to heal the mind, strengthen the body and give ourselves the strength to renew our energy.
About the Workshop
In this stressful time, as women we have a great responsibility and concern for our family members, our patients and everyone around us. As women, mothers and friends we bear the pain and loss of all women and feel as one. In a continuous period of war and uncertainty where the pain is renewed every day we are called to self care. We invite you to take a break, fly with us to Cyprus for a few days and allow yourself to heal and free your body and mind. Every day we will practice about three hours of female yoga with Mira, relax and release tension in the hot water, saunas and spa at the hotel. (It is possible to order special body treatments with the hotel’s qualified spa team). We will travel on foot and mostly we will all be together in several private villas that we have rented for you, so that we have privacy and a feeling of home. We chose an Israeli-owned hotel that gives us a safe, professional and therapeutic place with comfort and peace and with everything you need around for relaxation and release. Beyond the yoga practices and enjoying the spa, we will go on foot trips. Participants who have skills that they wish to offer and convey to the women of the workshop, we will be happy to offer it as community content within the workshop. The workshop is intended for 20-25 women.
It is possible to come with a spouse who is not participating in the workshop and pay a reduced price for him (the couple’s accommodation in the hotel rooms). After talking with us and confirming the production.
About the practice
With female yoga we strengthen our female body, by practicing that connects breath to the pelvic floor as a source of stabilization and support, we will get tools for understanding the strengths inherent in breathing, in the pelvic floor, strengthening the pelvic floor for hormonal balance and good sleep. Part of self-preservation is knowing the signs of stress in our bodies and releasing them. During stress, stress hormones are secreted, which activate a chain of processes that harm vitality, the immune system, breathing, cognitive function, reactions to various situations, an increase in chronic pain and inflammation, our perception of reality and, of course, our mood.
The Secret Forest Hotel
In the heart of a nature reserve in the mountains of Cyprus, near a small village surrounded by a forest and a flowing stream, there is a unique space that is hundreds of years old and at its heart is a spring of water with natural healthy minerals, which flow into hot pools in a large and luxurious spa complex located in a 4-star hotel, built entirely as a relaxing mansion surrounded by pools and water and designed accordingly. The hotel has comfortable and charming rooms of a high standard and healthy Mediterranean cuisine. The space allows a respite from routine combined with a holistic experience of health and recharging the body and mind with clean energy and mountain air that stimulate rejuvenation. In this shell we will pour the significant content of the workshop and together we will let go, release and recharge ourselves so that we can gather strength further.
