Yoga & Freediving Weekend Retreat
Autumn/Winter 2013 date to be confirmed
Yoga can benefit divers in many ways: strength and flexibility in muscles and joints, improved breathing and lung capacity, rib-cage flexibility, relaxation and mental focus.
Many elite freedivers practice yoga - from the great Jacques Mayol (who introduced yoga to the sport) to William Trubridge and Annelie Pompe.
Over the weekend we will explore how to incorporate yoga into your freedive training. The schedule will be tailored to participants needs and abilities as far as possible. No previous experience is necessary - the retreat is suitable for all levels of yoga and/or freedive abilities. Sessions may include power yoga (yang), gentle yin yoga and aqua yoga, breathing exercises and lung stretches, deep relaxation, visualisation and meditation.
In the pool we can look at balance and alignment in the water, no fins techniques and mental practices for static. Having recently trained with Brittany and William Trubridge, I can also share their experiences with yoga for freediving.
There will be plenty of time available to rest in the lovely bed & breakfast accomodation. There are walks nearby (Mendips) or visits to Bath and nearby villages.
The retreat will be a small group with an emphasis on quiet and restful reflection on the pool and yoga practices.
