Summer Shoreline Wild Stravaig

Join us on a shoreline wander at beautiful Cuil Bay. This is a wonderful place to practice Wild Yoga and Chi Gong and soak up the energy of the summer seascape. Our trip will include a wild yoga class, some short mindful activities and the chance to learn more about seasonal living based on Traditional Chinese medicine. There will also be the opportunity for a sea dip or a paddle, whatever you prefer!

WHAT TO EXPECT:

- Walking on level but rough ground. This is a moderate walk of about 10 km maximum on and off paths in beautiful scenery. We will leave the path and wander along the shoreline on rough, boggy ground.

- Learn simple mindful, grounding practices that will connect you with the energy of the season.

- Experience wild yoga and chi gong in this awe-inspiring setting.

- Time for quiet reflection and meditation.

- The opportunity to share your experiences, chat and connect with like-minded people.

- Lots of fresh air, exercise, great company, stunning scenery and of course, cake!

- No experience of yoga or hillwalking is needed but a reasonable level of fitness will help you fully enjoy the experience.

- There will be an opportunity for a wild sea swim under the supervison of Open Water Swim Coach and Wild Yogi Penny (or just dipping your toes in).
