Allow yourself to slow down on a Sunday afternoon, unwind and be fully present in the moment combining soothing outdoor yoga practice in the beautiful Sustipan park with self-expression in clay in the cosy environment of the creative hub PROSTOR.✤ Sunday, 20th of April, 15-21h
✤ at Sustipan park & Creative hub PROSTOR (Plančićeva 2)
This Half Day Retreat is all about slowing down and stepping into your creative power. Arts and Yoga are complementary, intuitive disciplines rich in creativity and rooted in self-expression. They both allow the feeling of being completely present, awake and alive. Creating art encourages intuition, a deep listening and a willingness to try new things which are all essential aspects of yoga teaching too.
✤ What to expect? ✤
We will start our afternoon with the outdoor yoga class. Breathe, stretch and move your body surrounded by the beautiful setting of Sustipan Park. Use breathing and physical techniques to calm and focus the mind which is often overwhelmed with the countless details of everyday life. Yoga class will be finished with a guided relaxation. The class is suitable to all levels, beginners and first-timers are welcome!
Upon arriving to PROSTOR, a healthy snack will nourish our bodies and serve as a moment to connect with each other. Expect healthy treats, a variety of juices and smoothies to be made on the spot, unlimited coffee and tea, ensuring the energy for the workshop to follow.
Working with clay makes you slow down and allows you to be so focused on the creative act of making that there’s no room for other thoughts or worries to emerge. It provides your mind with a much-needed rest. Freestyle ceramics workshop will allow you to create unique personal objects, decorative or usable, without any limits to your imagination. It is suitable for all levels, whether you are a beginner or advanced - you will be introduced to the handbuilding techniques (pinching, coiling, slab) and assisted throughout the 2-hour workshop whenever needed. However, it is not a typical class focused only on learning, it’s about providing you with the necessary simple techniques so that you are able to create in full freedom unbothered about the perfection of the final result. You will not only make objects but also paint them if you wish. All items will go through the process of drying, bisque firing, glazing and final firing and will be ready for pick-up within 2-3 weeks.
We will conclude the day with Yoga Nidra. It is an accessible meditation practice that focuses on cultivating multiple levels of well-being. All you have to do is lay down and follow the voice that is guiding you. Yoga nidra offers a space to explore what you need in the moment, as well as an opportunity to work on releasing long-held emotions.
