Kundalini and Yin Yoga with Lila Cristine
Nordic Kundalini Yoga is a dynamic and meditative practice that weaves together breathwork, movement, meditation and mantra in a conscious flow. Rooted in the Kundalini tradition, it has grown into a more nurturing form that gives equal space to both strength and restoration.
Between energising sequences, there is time for stillness, deep rest and integration. The senses are gently awakened with aromatherapy, sound and healing energies. Each breath, movement and meditation opens the way to greater awareness, acceptance and connection.
This practice is open to everyone, whatever your age, background or level of experience. You do not need to be flexible or strong, only willing to explore at your own pace. Nordic Kundalini offers a path to vitality, dignity and heart-centred courage, inviting you to meet yourself fully in body, soul and spirit.

Yin & Yang Yoga with Olivia Clarke
Morning yoga sessions begin slowly and mindfully, attuning to body, heart and mind while resting in the natural surroundings of Ulpotha and in the shared community of practice. Olivia draws on the Triple Gem of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha as inspiration, weaving them into a blend of Yin and Yang Yoga. Long-held floor postures support the meridians and organ health, while Yang sequences bring energy and strength. You will be invited to ground yourself, to work from the earth up, and to let Yin lead the Yang through mindfulness and compassion.
Afternoons turn to Yin Yoga and Meditation. Together you'll explore meditation in its four postures: sitting, lying down, standing and walking. Olivia shares Buddha Dharma in a way that is earthy, clear and accessible, encouraging mindfulness to move beyond the mat and into everyday life.
This yoga retreat is suited to those who value a slower, quieter rhythm of practice. It is less about the gymnastics of yoga and more about creating a supportive space for life, path and practice that feels sustainable and nourishing. The focus is on conserving energy, cultivating chi and building a practice that can support you with steadiness and resilience in the midst of modern life.
