ABOUT THE ART RETREAT:
This art retreat is like no other and takes you on a journey of self-love, creativity, and root connections. This explorative physical and mental journey includes painting, sketching, yoga, guided meditation, healthy food, and great company. The retreat will take place over 3 days, starting on Friday Afternoon 4pm until Sunday 4pm. You will spend two nights in this beautiful River Forest Villa amongst the pecan trees surrounded by a variety of landscapes to take awe of. In our ART lesson we will learn a variety of sketching techniques and how to draw live still life artworks. We will also explore acrylic painting techniques, colour mixing and more.
You will also have free time to explore the forest or lay by the pool, socialise or take time to yourself to recharge. Having time to yourself is an important part of self growth.
ABOUT THE YOGA:
Melody hill offers stunning facilities for both indoor and outdoor yoga experiences. The retreat will be accompanied by a sunrise and sunset yoga practice as well as a guided meditation. Yoga is a wonderful way to connect with your body and your mind. Yoga amongst other things improves strength, flexibility, benefits heart health, relaxes you, balances energy and mood and assists with stress management. The yoga practice will be guided by the supportive, patient, kind, and caring yoga instructor Cara Karsas.
“I am Cara, a 200-hour vinyasa (flow) Casey Chiang qualified yoga teacher. I have a burning passion for yoga and love sharing this beautiful practice with others with the intention of facilitating personal growth and learning. My yoga classes encompass Asana (physical practice and alignment), pranayama (breath work), meditation, anatomy, and physiology. All yoga levels are welcome whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner. My goal is to create a safe space where students can express themselves, feel comfortable, safe and discover their own potential as they grow their yoga practice. My style of yoga is strong and explorative. I teach students to connect with their bodies and their minds on this beautiful journey of self-discovery. I am with you every step of the way. I break down complex poses so that they are easy to understand and learn. You will progress at your own pace as your body and mind open and your strength and flexibility improve. I look forward to welcoming, teaching you and learning from you.”
