A Winters Rest-Urban Retreat - Yoga & Cacao- 3-6pm - Nov 27th

Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on living the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. From Katherine May’s “Wintering”

 

An afternoon to assist us in wintering well. It is time for hibernation!  The wheel turns and we travel on, deeper into increasing darkness. We journey towards deepest winter on Dec 21st.  It is necessary to align our beings with the energy of the season, when we listen deeply, we can feel this call. The pull towards slowness, rest, non-doing and introspection. This is the way of the feminine, it is in within this space that we become aware of our deepest wisdom and truth, we access our own power.  It can be challenging to attune to this within our modern culture, perhaps especially at this time of year. If you feel called, this afternoon is to help you on this threshold.

This is a specially curated afternoon,  to meet us in our wintering and bring us into alignment with the natural energy of the season.   It is a held space for you to connect more deeply with your own life force and internal rhythm, and to honor these.

We will blend together some nourishing practices including:

Mindful Yoga, Yin & Restorative Yoga, Gentle Breathing practice.

Meditation- Meditation and deeply restful Yoga Nidra.

Cacao Ceremony-A centuries old ritual. The cacao plant is is used as a heart healing and opening medicine. It assists in energetic healing, promotes relaxation and  a feeling of contentment,  People report feeling softer, open and relaxed, and more loving. We will enjoy organic, rich, delicious ceremonial cacao with warming seasonal spices. It marries beautifully with our other practices of yoga and meditation.

Bring your favourite cup for the cacao, a blanket, eye pillow, cosy socks, hot water bottle and anything you need for comfort.

 

I really look forward to welcoming you to these winter sessions, it is such a potent and special time of year.

 

*If you are on SSRI ‘S, Maoi’s or have a serious heart condition, please contact me in advance and I will advise some modifications around the cacao.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"As soon as you see the wide, welcoming smile on Fiona’s face as she greets you at her door you know that you are in the right place. The generosity of her smile is reflected in her amazing ability to listen and to give you her undivided attention during a consultation or a reflexology session. Her therapy space resonates with her passion for wellness, and her willingness to share her knowledge of Chinese medicine, herbalism and naturopathy is truly empowering. I have recommended Fiona to nearly every member of my family and they have also been inspired to take back their power and to take control of their own wellbeing. Without hesitation I can say that Fiona is truly the best practitioner I have ever met."

NiamhWestmeath

"I first met Fiona as a customer when she ran her Wild Earth Health Store in Dominic Street, Mullingar. Since then I have frequently attended Fiona for Massage, Reflexology, Health Consultations, Herbal Tonics and most recently Yoga. She has helped me to regain and maintain good health and reduce significant stress in my life. Fiona is a highly professional, highly qualified, intuitive, safe pair of hands! In my experience she always listens carefully and combines her training and knowledge with her strong intuition to arrive at a perfect solution. I admire Fiona greatly as she is always adding to her repertoire of expertise with ongoing training in new areas which she then applies in all she does. I cannot recommend Fiona Brewer of The Naturopathy Clinic highly enough. I wish Fiona and The Naturopathy Clinic every success always."

Maria BourkePersonal Coach & Facilitator

"If you are seeking rejuvenation, take a yoga class with Fiona! As a 57 year old woman, I can get stiff and achy sometimes. A session with Fiona and I am like a well-oiled machine again! My posture is better, there’s a bounce in my step, I’m more flexible and pain free. I feel rejuvenated, body, mind and spirit. Fiona Brewer is one of the best yoga teachers I have ever encountered. Do yourself a favour, take a class with her as soon as possible!"

Gina McGarryDirector Arts

I have really fond memories of pregnancy yoga with Fiona. It felt like it was real quality time spent taking a break from busy life and connecting with my baby and with my body. I always felt great leaving her classes and after my last class with an overdue bump I had a baby in my arms a few hours later! Fiona's herbal remedies are also fantastic and she has a wealth of nutritional information. We as a family have used various herbal remedies and found them very beneficial. She is great at tailoring them to our family's changing needs, which is really helpful. Fiona herself is great to deal with; friendly, approachable and professional.

I have been going to Fiona's yoga classes since 2014. She was highly recommended to me by a friend. I was very stressed at that time in my life and I had heard yoga was great for de-stressing and relaxing the body, plus I was a bit nervous to try it too as I had heard lots of different things and it was in my eyes my last resort. But when I rang Fiona, her voice instantly calmed me and put me at ease . I was really looking forward to going and from the first day I went I haven't looked back. She made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I have signed up for 6 week programmes and done various workshops with Fiona. She is such a genuine person with a heart of gold and has a unique way of teaching. It is about listening to your body & not pushing it beyond its limit. At the same time you know your body had worked and is relaxed at the same time. I'm so glad Fiona's yoga class was recommended to me as I couldn't have found a better teacher. Thank you Fiona

I decided on my second pregnancy to take time out to do a yoga class weekly and I am delighted I did.
I found the benefits incredible both during and after my pregnancy. I felt totally relaxed and calm throughout, luckly for me the class was on a Monday evening so I was set up for the week. I slept so soundly the night of my class and on nights I found it hard to settle I practiced the same breathing tecniques Fiona taught us until I nodded off. I used the same breathing while preparing for my c section it was a life saver.
The icing on the cake is I have one very chilaxed baby boy.
Fiona is such a wonderful, gentle person who suits Yoga teaching immensly. I am looking forward to getting back to my class for the winter to enjoy a little me time.

“Fiona was recommended to me by a friend while I was suffering from a persistent cough which conventional medicines could not cure.
Through natural herbs and remedies which Fiona recommended I finally got rid of the cough and it has never returned. Fiona is an extremely knowledgeable and warm hearted Naturopathy Therapist who treats you with a holistic approach and gets to the root of the problem. I’d encourage anyone who is looking for a healthier way of life to go to Fiona. I am so glad that I did as I am now a lot healthier and happier as a result of my visits”.
