A weekend of Flow with Jo Monaghan
August 25, 2023 @ 11:00 am - August 27, 2023 @ 2:00 pm
$450.00 – $550.00
A weekend of  Flow – finding connection through Yoga,  Meditation and Nature  with Jo Monaghan
The focus of the weekend is connection: exploring wellbeing practices that allow you to connect to yourself, each other and Nature away from your busy life so you can feel grounded, nurtured and centred.
It’s a weekend for you to explore yoga and meditation practices through daily guided meditations and Yin and Vinyasa Flow.  Being at Mana means you are immersed in Nature,  and we will explore how Nature nurtures us and how important it is to connect with Nature to achieve harmony, as well as how we can do this.
Everything is optional and all you need to do is decide the flow of the days that will help you relax, recharge and reconnect.
You can also book a massage directly with Mana Retreat Centre with one of their therapists (additional charges apply). They get booked up fast so please contact them early!
I look forward to welcoming you.

Introducing
The Teaching Team
Jo Monaghan Having spent decades in the corporate world, I understand how stress impacts us and the benefits of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness to create a balanced life. I believe that Yoga is all about connection, to oneself, and to others. Yoga, for me, has always uplifted me and enabled me to thrive and become more in flow with life, able to meet its challenges with greater ease. I am a 500Hr RYT certified yoga teacher, having trained with Blissologist founder Eoin Finn in Bali and Canada from 2017-2019. The style I teach is Vinyasa Flow, which connects breath with movement to calm the nervous system, create body awareness, and improve energy flow. Founded by yogi, surfer and Blissologist Eoin Finn in 1999, Blissology is a yoga system that explores strategies for bringing more joy, awe, love, and bliss into our lives by connecting to ourselves, our community and Nature.
