SUSSEX COUNTRYSIDE YOGA + FOODIE RETREAT
EAST SUSSEX, JUNE 2024
WITH RISHIN PAONASKAR
7th – 9th JUNE, NEAR LEWES, UK
Our mid-summer weekend Sussex retreat with Rishin Paonaskar is a rare opportunity to (re)treat within a ten acre wonderland, yet you won’t have to travel far to reach it. This magic location (think wild-flower meadows and your own personal woodland) is only 25 minutes from Brighton and 1.5 hours from London!
THE YOGA
The weekend will include two extended daily practices (90 minutes each); dynamic in the morning and restorative in the evening and will take place in the beautifully converted yoga barn with bamboo flooring, or on the outside decking set to the soundtrack of nature. Rishin is a much-loved, highly trained, experienced yoga teacher and retreat leader who will tailor the practices to your needs.
THE FOOD
If you like world cuisine, then you will love our professional chef Vanessa’s creative, global flavoured food. Your stay not only includes three vegetarian meals per day, but also a fun, gyoza-making workshop on the Saturday afternoon where you will create your own Japanese inspired dumplings to gorge on at dinner time.
In between classes and meals, you’ll have time to explore endless acres; two ponds and even your own woods, or just chill in the hammock and read a book.
YOUR TEACHER
Rishin Paonaskar grew up in India and although yoga was taught at his school, he didn’t take it up until several years later to recuperate from a cycling injury. In 2012 he left a career in banking to start his own food business and also completed his 200 hour Yoga Alliance training. He has since trained as a myofascial body worker with senior Forrest Yoga teachers Jambo Truong and Brian Campbell, with Judith Hanson Lasater and as a yoga sports coach with the Institute of Yoga Sport Science.
Rishin’s Dynamic Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes are challenging but accessible, while his Restorative sessions are a chance to completely relax and reset. Come along to sweat, laugh and play in Rishin’s vinyasa, followed by a delicious restorative sequence, designed to soothe the nervous system at night.
Rishin is super welcoming and will make your weekend a really nourishing and invigorating experience.
