About this event
Garden of the Heart is a three-day Anusara Yoga Immersion Retreat for practitioners and teachers who want to deepen their relationship with yoga in a way that is embodied, intelligent, and heartfelt.
This retreat is unique in that participants will be joining the final three days of a 100-Hour Anusara Yoga Immersion, stepping into a living learning environment alongside committed students of the Immersion programme. It offers a rare opportunity to experience the depth, rhythm, and integrity of immersion-style study within the spaciousness of a retreat setting.
Two Ways to Participate:
**Full Immersion Experience** (3 Days starts Friday Morning)
Participate fully in all practices, classes, lectures, and group inquiry sessions alongside immersion students. This option is ideal for yoga teachers, trainees, and dedicated practitioners who want a deep dive into Anusara Yoga’s alignment principles, philosophy, and embodied practice.
**Practice + Retreat Experience** Starts Friday Afternoon
Join the daily asana, pranayama, and meditation practices, and use the remaining time to rest, walk, read, journal, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Cabragh Lodge. This option offers nourishment without the commitment of full immersion study.
Both options are held within the same supportive retreat container, with beautiful food, nature, great company and space to breathe.
The Heart of the Teaching
While this retreat includes clear alignment, philosophy, and intelligent sequencing, its primary emphasis is the cultivation of the heart as our deepest well of knowing.
Rather than placing all emphasis on understanding yoga through the mind alone, this retreat invites you to practise and study from relationship:
Relationship with your body’s intelligence
Relationship with nature and the living world
Relationship with your own heart as a source of clarity, resilience, and wisdom
Relationship and connection with each other
This approach supports both practitioners and teachers to move away from rigid ideas of “right” and “wrong” and towards discernment, confidence, and trust in lived experience.
Who This Retreat Is For - This retreat is suited to:
Yoga teachers and trainees
Dedicated yoga practitioners seeking depth rather than intensity
Teachers looking for inspiration who want to reconnect with why they teach
Students who want to understand yoga from the inside out
Anyone drawn to a practice that honours both precision and openess
No matter where you are on your yoga path you are very welcome. You will be met with respect, clarity, and warmth.
