Retreat with Norman and Maitripushpa

Norman and Maitripushpa run regular retreats at various venues. Getting away can be a wonderful way of evolving practise and deepening understanding. Each retreat has morning classes of intuitive flow yoga (with plenty of props and plenty of options) and afternoon classes of Yin yoga. Every day there are morning and evening sessions of meditation led by Maitripushpa.

Being on retreat can be an opportunity to experience more space, more content, more insight. Norman and Maitripushpa emphasise accessibility and inclusivity. Maitripushpa is significantly influenced by many years of Buddhist practice plus years of study within other spiritual traditions.

Some context re yoga retreats and flying. Norman and Maitripushpa no longer teach retreats at venues that are only accessible by flying.
