Bridging The Gap…..

Yoga & Pilates Retreats

Why Retreat?

A commonly asked question is, why do you want to go for 3, 4 or 7 days to a retreat? What is the benefit of doing this?

Well the list is long!. There is substance in removing yourself from your daily life to embark on some deep physical and spiritual practices that you may only get to dip your toes in, in your current environment.

A retreat enable’s you to wake up (literally and metaphysically), and focus on yourself from the time you step out of bed. Something that many of us, especially mums, really struggle to do.

You get to implement cleansing morning practices, enjoy a thorough and deep long morning yoga or pilates practice, along with other workshops that are offered throughout the retreat. You will also get to meet some really beautiful like mined people along the way.

Your body changes! Even within a few days, you will notice the difference. Your mind changes. Emotions shift and your outlook on life definitely gets thrown into the light!

You definitely come away a different person, with more attunement, intuition and a deep understanding for yourself.

I highly recommend it for EVERYONE but especially mums.

Namaste,

Lauren 🙏🏼

MahaDevi Yoga Retreat……

Mother Daughter Divine Feminine Retreat

Ubud, Bali Sunday 31st August - 5th September 2025

MahaDevi…. Maha, means Great.. Devi means Goddess. So this retreat Is about the Great Goddess, which is YOU!

This retreat is special. Here we get to Bridge The Gap between the lineage of Mother and Daughter. Something that many of us may never fully understand the depth of this divine connection.

We get to deeply explore what the Divine feminine truly is, and breakdown and fully connect in with the deepest of our souls and work together as women, the way nature intended. Even if your lineage line is very strong, there is something powerful in taking time to fully bond with each other. And that is what we will be exploring on this 5 day retreat with The Movement Shala.

Through giving yourself time out in a retreat setting, you can explore more of the physical, mental and emotional levels of the body and mind. And really start to feel ALIVE in this vehicle that we are in (body).

We get to explore what we are passing down consciously and subconsciously. We get to explore and understand our presence here on this earth. We explore how to raise conscious and strong females and males within your blood line. How to fully support ourselves and our family and our other sisters (women). We look at how we are replenishing our Ojas. Our divine feminine juice that wears out over time, with over stimulation and not giving back to ourselves.

In this retreat, we explore and understand the journey Womanhood. We look deep into the different stages of life, and understand the way hormones govern our running system of the body. We will understand and appreciate ways to move our bodies through different stages of life and the way nature intended us too. We also incorporate nutrition, daily affirmations, journaling and a whole lot of physical yoga. We explore some beautiful workshops that will create an amazing bond between mother and daughter, such as traditional cooking workshops, working with flavour and working with ‘creation’. we also undergo a 4 hour Batik art workshop. Batik is both an art and a craft, which is becoming ever more popular and well known among contemporary artists all over the world, as a wonderfully creative medium. The art of decorating cloth using wax and dye, has been practised for centuries in many parts of the world including China, Japan, India, South America and Europe.

In Java, an island in Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there. The word batik originates from the Javanese word “tik” which means to dot. Batik is both a verb (to batik) and a noun (a batik – an object made by batiking!). Batik is usually made on a fabric surface (such as cotton, silk, linen, rayon or hemp), but batik techniques can also be used on paper, wood, leather and even a ceramic surface.Fill your cup up again, from your deep inner core , both physically and energetically. Find your space and some balance to sit and be with yourself and work on the physical, the mental, emotional and spiritual layers.

I encourage all women of any age, maiden to matriarch, to explore this inner journey. A truly magical week dedicated to you and your mother/daughter and understanding the quality and deep connection, we as females, have in this world.
