Amber has been running yoga and hill walking retreats at Trasierra since 2009
Retreats are a special time when everything is taken care of and you need to just drift from moment to moment. In the yoga studio, you are carefully guided through the postures. We refresh, we energize and we remind ourselves over and over that we can be vital, we can wake up to the wonder of being human. We listen to what’s going on inside the body and delight in the beauty and peace of the land. The surroundings are elevating, conducive to deep rest and meditation.
Amber’s teaching style summons up the intelligence of the student so that the practice becomes truly integrated. Connecting neurological pathways in the physical body means that each movement we make provides a pathway to greater understanding of the self and the way we operate. Deep shifts are given space to occur and the practice becomes truly transformative.
In good company there is an energy that propels one further. When technology and social pressures are removed, the true self can be revealed and there is a light heartedness to what follows. In yoga this is known as lila: divine play. There is time to converse, to read, to rest, to dream, play and explore…There is also time to improvise: horse riding, tapas trips, picnics on the hill, barefoot walking are all activities that can be enjoyed. Tennis, bird watching, photography, painting… the imagination delights and ignites.
Accommodation

Testimonials
"For me, reconnecting with yoga in this way was so nourishing and rejuvenating. I loved your style of teaching and the whole way you ran the retreat. The walking was also such a great part of the experience - such beauty and let go to be in that nature. And Trasierra, and our room, and the pool, and the food... gosh... so much abundance and beauty wherever we turned. " Ben Sheinwald, UK
“Thank you so much for taking me on this wonderful journey to a new place for me – yoga. I could not imagine a better teacher to lead (beginners and advanced) to do, feel and understand the poses. Your subtle voice and words make the idea of an exercise and our body follows.” Tania Kunz, Austria
