5 Day Into A New Earth Yoga Retreat in Coffee Bay, Eastern Cape
Coffee Shack Backpackers, 1 Coffee Shack Way, Coffee Bay, 5082, South Africa.
Yoga Retreat South Africa
This listing has one of the 10 most popular offers available in Africa & the Middle East
An adventurous and grounding experience located in Coffee Bay, far far away from modern society with the picturesque oceanside, life-filled waters, and clean air. Past reality is shifting somewhat dramatically. Some people may be losing everything they ever thought they had secured their space in this world. People may know that they will be alright, they may feel as though they might not make it through the next day. Posture Pixie Yoga believes people have an opportunity to make very real changes, and for the better for all. Preparing for the New Earth, referring to the Eckhart Tolle book A New Earth, is about presence, acceptance, and detaching from the stronghold of the egoic mind, welcoming inner peace. All levels of experience are welcome. If you've never done yoga before, this will still be highly beneficial for you.
