Alex’s Anahata Yoga: 3 Day Autumn Retreat

Teacher: Alex Mitchell
Date: Friday 17th – Monday 20th October 2025

Emma and I hold two retreats a year to reflect and set intention. Join us as we welcome the tamasic energy of Autumn. The change of seasons naturally brings with it a change to the pace of life, a change to the energy within the body, a change to our mindsets, a turning inwards, a need for recalibration. We will be exploring and welcoming this shift in energy throughout the weekend.

I am blessed to teach Anahata Yoga here by the sea here in Moylegrove, Pembrokeshire. Anahata yoga is a flowing Hatha practice from Assam in the North of India. Also known as The Dance of Shiva and Shakti the intention is to encourage Shakti, the moon, to rise up to the embrace of Shiva, the sun. The metaphor of a lovers’ dance invokes the idea of a creative interplay between conscious awareness and divine energy. It reminds us to take a joyous, graceful, playful approach to achieving the state of union that is the ultimate goal of yoga.

Over the weekend we will be working with Anahata Asana Flows including:  The 5 Element Form, a morning practice;  Shiva’s Dance of Love, a flowing to stillness practice; The Dance of Shiva and Shakti, a balancing practice; The Dance of the 3 Warriors, an energising practice.  We will be working with Anahata Meditations including The Beggars Bowl, The Akasha Meditation and my favourite, The Anahata meditation.  We will be working with Pranayama, breath, to enhance our experience of all of the above, our Asana practice, our Meditation practice and to feel into Prana.  We will be treated to one of Ash’s awesome sound baths. If you’ve never enjoyed a sound bath they are special on many levels… a celebration of the vibrational energy and healing power of sound.

I’ll be teaching a Restorative Class: Searching for Freedom which is the only class not from the Anahata tradition.  This is a class I’ve been teaching for a number of years now on special occasions here at Cwm Connell when I’m surrounded by props.  It’s one of my favourites and I find it particularly moving, powerful and life enhancing.

All teaching will be inclusive and appropriate for all and all of the activities and classes are entirely optional, you may prefer at any point to chill out in the hot tub and sauna or in the paddock, go on a mindful nature walk or take some time for meditation.

The weekend will be fully catered with Breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner with delicious vegan food from our lovely retreat chef Siva from Sri Lanka – it’s going to be special.

Om shanti. A&E 💚🕉🙏

WHAT TO EXPECT

Samhain Yoga & Reiki Retreat: Embrace the Seasonal Shift

Teacher: Frances Rees of Daioni Yoga
Date: Friday 31st October – Sunday 2nd November 2025

Join us for a transformative weekend retreat, where the energy of Samhain guides us into deep introspection and renewal. Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of harvest and the beginning of winter, is a powerful time for releasing what no longer serves us and embracing the mysteries of the season.  Through restorative & yoga Nidra practices, energy healing with Gendai Reiki, and sacred rituals including cocoa ceremony, we’ll align with the natural flow of the earth’s cycles, honouring the shift in energy as we prepare for the colder months ahead. Let the peacefulness of this retreat provide space for you to reconnect with yourself, release emotional blockages, and invite clarity and healing. This retreat offers a space for rejuvenation, self-reflection, and connection with like-minded souls. Accompanied by a delicious vegan menu to nourish the soul.

Alex’s Anahata Yoga 1 Day Autumn Retreat

Teacher: Alex Mitchell
Date: Saturday 8th November 2025

Join us as we celebrate the arrival of Autumn, welcoming the tamasic energy of Autumn after the rajasic energy of Summer. The change of seasons naturally brings with it a change to the pace of life, a change to the energy within the body, a change to our mindsets, a turning inwards, a need for recalibration. We will be exploring and welcoming this shift in energy throughout the day.

There will be 3 classes during the day. Weather allowing we will start with a walking meditation to Ceibwr Bay to practice The 5 Element Form, the traditional morning practice of Anahatha Yoga.   Later in the morning we will explore an Anahata Yoga Class – The Dance of Shiva and Shakti.  In the evening we will slow it all down with a Restorative class before dinner. All teaching will be inclusive and appropriate for all.

We are delighted to be hosting a Sound bath from the wonderful Ash in the afternoon – if you’ve never enjoyed one they are special on many levels… a celebration of the vibrational energy and healing power of sound.

All of the activities and classes are entirely optional, you may prefer at any point to chill out in the hot tub and sauna or in the paddock, go on a mindful nature walk or take some time for meditation. Or you can just hang out, relax and have a chat…..

The day will be catered with snacks and lunch with delicious vegan food from our lovely retreat chef. Dinner is an optional extra which we hope you will stay and enjoy.

There is nothing quite like immersing yourself in a day of yoga and relaxation. Take a day for yourself or bring a loved one, family or friend.

For those not local we are offering all weekend cottage rentals with 20% off so you can spoil yourself and make a weekend of it.

Om shanti. Namaste.  A&E
