The Transformational retreats have a similar feel to the 21 day online courses but with many additional experiences added in, including a daily Sattva Journey where we incorporate different themes e.g. to go from low self esteem to acceptance and compassion.   We deliver the journeys through pranayama (breathing), asana’s (physical poses), meditation, kryias (working with the energetic body), mantras and mudras (symbolic hand gestures), yoga nidra (deep relaxation) and affirmations.   These practices are combined in a journey which can last up to two hours and they are designed to transcend the mind, to shift and master your energy, enliven all energetic levels of the body, move beyond our self imposed boundaries, let go of our past and childhood conditioning and find inner peace and contentment.   We will both be on hand to guide and support you at Holland House, we feel this venue will  enhance your experience as it has so many quiet spaces for you to reflect on the journeys both inside the house and around the peaceful, beautiful grounds leading down to the River Avon.  Don’t expect any fluffy dressing gowns and spa facilities, we are not offering that sort of retreat but what Holland House does offer is a safe, comforting nurturing house that is warm and clean with kind, friendly staff, comforting food that will help with your transformation over your 5 nights stay with us.
