A typical hatha yoga class will include a short opening chant (the sacred sound "Om"); a good warm-up for the spine, legs and arms; sun salutations (surya namaskar); steady poses (asana); breathing exercises (pranayama); and a closing deep relaxation (savasana).

Ballin Temple Retreats

We can run a retreat for groups seeking to deepen their sense of purpose in business and in life.

Please see astraea.net for details of other coaching.

  • You (individual or group) can book the weekend, week, or longer, for your retreat.

  • We have accommodation for up to 12 people and could help to arrange accommodation for a larger group in the surrounding area.

  • Our yoga facilities include a room that fits 3 comfortably, for private/small groups; and a large yurt-like tent that is suitable for the warmer season (May-August). This facility can accommodate 12 for yoga practice.

  • We offer fresh, seasonal organic produce from our own garden, and will seek to fill any nutritional profile you request (vegetarian is a popular request).

  • The Ballin Temple estate offers great natural beauty, and we would encourage you to include meditation walks in your program (these can be guided).
