Yogic encampment - an inspiring retreat

It is time for our yogic encampment in the lush green vale near Church Stretton. I always look forward to this week of camping on the land of one of our students.

We gather for a week to practice yogic song, meditation, dance, Tantric craft, Tibetan yoga and much more.

​This is always a splendid and most inspiring event. The regency dancing is part of our practice of Natural Heroism. Regency dancing requires precision but also playfulness. It requires concentration but is also flirtatious. If everyone is moving in the same manner at the same time with the music it is a startlingly beautiful and meditative experience. I have three new dances to teach on this retreat, so I am looking forward to that.
