Wild Yoga Africa

𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘺. 🤩

I’ve wanted to offer a camp-based Yoga Wilderness Trail with Lowveld Trails Co. for 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, and here it is.

This September, we’ll spend 3 nights in a beautiful wilderness camp in the Timbavati, heading out on foot each day with expert trails guides and weaving in yoga, movement, meditation and somatic practices along the way.

✨ To celebrate this inaugural experience, Lowveld Trails Co. has offered us a special once-off rate:

𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐑𝟏𝟒,𝟗𝟓𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧; 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬: 𝐑𝟏𝟔,𝟗𝟓𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧; 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬.

3 of the 7 guest places are already spoken for, leaving just 4 available.

The full flyer is above if you’d like to explore the experience in more detail, or you can find everything via the link in my Linktree.

Can’t wait to share this adventure with you.

This month’s Friday Dance Session is just 𝟔𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 – a little winter edition to acknowledge shorter days and cosy evenings.

𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞: 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 💥

A playlist built around those rare remixes that somehow become even better than the original song.

Come dance into the weekend with us. We’ll be in the studio and garden for 60 minutes of release, replenishment, and pure embodied freedom.

This is your invitation to just dance.

📆 Friday 17 July

Somatic movement is mindful, exploratory movement that invites you to sense and move from the inside out - rather than aiming for a particular shape or external form - with attention on 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.

In this practice, we listen for the body’s cues - noticing tension, ease, breath, or where we want to move next. Movements may include rocking, pulsing, spiralling, shaking, or simply sensing into a joint or muscle group to allow it to unwind. We’ll finish up with 10 minutes of somatic free dance.

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫:
💚 Accessing greater freedom in the body, especially if your usual movement, sport, or exercise is very structured or intense.
💚 Tending to pain, stress, trauma, or fatigue by reconnecting with the body’s innate intelligence.
💚 Shifting out of feeling “tired but wired” and creating the conditions for deep rest.

No experience required.

MEET LYNNE

Somatic dance is an exploration of movement guided by sensation, curiosity and presence.

This approach welcomes all bodies and levels of experience.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐟:
– you carry a lot of tension and want release,
– you love expression through movement, and/or
– you're curious about new ways of moving and want to gain new skills.

Led by Daša, whose background combines contemporary dance with years of embodied movement exploration, this immersion offers a supportive and playful space to discover what becomes possible when the body leads.

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in (long pants are best) and bring a water bottle.
