Somatic Therapeutic Yoga Retreat with Charlotte Watts

Join yoga teacher, teacher trainer and nutritional therapist Charlotte Watts for a weekend of deeply nourishing Somatic Therapeutic Yoga practice. Whether you simply want the therapeutic benefits of this work for yourself, or wish to bring it into your own teaching, this retreat offers a space for deep connection, self-compassionate practice and embodied awareness.

The somatic teachings across the weekend are fluid, explorative, restorative and meditative in nature, influenced by Feldenkrais, Qi Gong and other embodied movement practices – moving away from achieving specific yoga poses and towards a genuine, felt sense of awareness in the body.

The weekend includes somatic practice sessions on Friday afternoon and evening, Saturday morning and afternoon, and Sunday morning, plus a soundbath on Saturday evening. All vegetarian meals (with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options) are freshly prepared from organic, locally-sourced produce, and 8 CPD/CE hours are available for yoga teachers. The retreat can be attended as a stand-alone weekend or as part of Charlotte's 200-hour Somatic Therapeutic Yoga teacher training.
