Undo - Wake Up and Move into Stillness,
with Jeanette Karlsson

7pm Friday 24 – 4pm Monday 27 August

A retreat to explore the possibility of both total freedom of movement and great stillness within. We all have this duality in us: the body's urge for dynamic movement and also the need to find quietness.

In the practise of yoga and meditation, we can rediscover the intimate relationship between the passionate and the calm. Not only in the physical sphere but also in the stirrings of the mind and emotional life.

If we do not allow the passion to find expression, our posture may become one of holding and contraction while the mind gets dull, restless or irritable.


Inspired by the creative approach to yoga taught by students of Vanda Scaravelli and the teachings of the Buddha, also, the dynamic energy of the martial arts, Jeanette Karlsson (born in Sweden 1969) combines her own practise and teachings. She lives and teaches in Brighton, at festivals in the UK, and abroad. She attends regular retreats especially insight meditation and inquiry as taught by Christopher Titmuss. Jeanette trained to teach yoga at Morley College (200-2001) with Rosamunde Jordan and Marilyn Freedman. Jeanette’s background of traditional Thai-Yoga-Massage clearly links the path of yoga and meditation together.

You are warmly invited to unravel the body, mind and heart towards a freer reality. Using the simple tools of the breath, the ground or gravity, we learn how to reconnect to and free up the spine - our centre. The exhalation connects to a sense of stability and groundedness. Discover how to combine the breath with asanas, joyful movement and periods of calmness.

Gradually, as outer tension falls away, we find new ways to unfold from inside out. Enjoy reshaping the patterns within our spine, muscles and joints, positively effecting the whole. New spaces open up as if by magic!

Short periods of silence show you how to go deeper still and a state of meditation can move in. Without force, we deepen further with the use of pranayama (yogic breathing) and simple meditation techniques found in the tradition of the Buddha.

There is nowhere to go or nothing to become - just let yourself go -and let peace and freedom in.
