Judy Leane is a Qualified Senior Pilates Instructor, a physiotherapist and is a personal trainer. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge to share on the retreat. The fusion of Yoga and Pilates gives tremendous body awareness of core strength and stability. Twice daily yoga, mornings are more dynamic and attention to alignment in the poses, afternoons the focus is restorative yoga to bring balance and harmony to the mind and body. Meditation is done daily, pilates integrated, yoga nidra, relaxation and time out to relax and reflect.
The focus will be to re-connect with yourself, bringing you back to your centre, strengthening the mind and body to create an inner harmony.
There will be an emphasis on the Balinese cultural activities to compliment our own yoga journey and bring in a more spiritual aspect to the whole retreat.
