Movement for Living Well
Retreat

We will practice Movement for Living Well which combines various physical practices such as Dynamic Hatha Yoga Asana, FAMO Fascia Movement® and Low Pressure Fitness. These practices take place daily in the fabulous circular pavilion with heated cork floors, providing ample space and light - my dream space!. About Stephanie

 

The days will begin with an early morning practice where I will be sharing my personal morning routine with you and guiding you through it. This will include a series of breathing techniques that also tone the abdomen and stimulate the digestive tract. It’s a fantastic way to start every day!

 

A nourishing breakfast follows and then some personal time for reading, walking, having a massage or simply being in the beautiful surroundings.

We will then come together for a 75 - 90 minute dynamic Movement for Living Well class before lunch.

 

Read about FAMO®

A FAMO® method class has a strong focus on our fascial system and uses the myofascial meridians as a map to navigate the complexity of the physical body. These meridians are in-series continuities of muscle and fascia that connect the foot to the head and the hands to the trunk and transmit forces efficiently through the body. They form part of our body wide fascial system and therefore a FAMO class is a fascia focused class that aims to optimise the functionality of these myofacial meridians as well as our fascial system as a whole. We can tend to 'muscle' our way through life which over time can lead to compression resulting in pain and dis-ease.

The practice of FAMO®, optimises an easeful upright posture, body wide limberness, multidimensional strength and much much more, helping you to move how you want to move and how life demands you to move no matter what age.

An onlooker might think they are viewing a mix of a Yoga and Pilates class as it takes place barefoot on the mat and many movements look similar, however the intention behind these movements is what makes a FAMO® class unique.

 

A delicious vegetarian or vegan lunch follows this class and in the afternoon there is time for exploring the area. There are many beautiful unspoilt beaches along this coastline.

At the end of the afternoon we gather again for a 60 minute slower paced and restorative Yoga & FAMO® practice where the focus is on deeper stretches, massaging, hydrating and releasing the body of tension via slower movement and also props.

 

More freshly prepared food awaits us for our evening meal rounding off an entirely nourishing day on every level.​
