With Christmas around the corner, our thinking caps are coming on about what to buy for our loved ones. Men in particular struggle to know what to buy, and yoga presents are the perfect gift for the Yogini in your life. Forest Retreats provide gifts of wellness that provide the perfect range of yoga presents for her.
- How to decide on a yoga present for her?
Over 300 million people in the world practice yoga, they are mostly women and studios are popping up everywhere with a variety of fancy leggings on show. But what is this yoga all about? It’s certainly not about spending lots of money on fancy leggings that were made for a fraction of the price in a sweatshop. The goal of yoga is to help the practitioner integrate mind, body and spirit and that is what yoga is really all about. What makes our yoga presents different is that our gifts are experiences that are set within a natural, sustainable and loving woodland setting.
2. Eco-retreat in The Wye Valley
Do you think your loved one would enjoy a yoga and wellness retreat overlooking the magical Wye Valley? Forest Retreats have been running day and weekend yoga and wellness retreats for the last 8 years and are recommended by The Guardian. A typical day starts with an energising yoga flow in the beautiful Wye Studio and suitable for all levels. After a delicious brunch, Tom will take you for an introduction to Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing), which is guaranteed to lower your heart rate, boost your immune system and help you feel more relaxed.
3. Yin and Yang yoga
The afternoon of our retreats moves into the yin phase. Yang is the energised sun energy and yin is the slower, calmer luna energy. The afternoon yoga practice is yin and restorative yoga, which allows your special someone to completely relax and let go of the stresses and strains of life. The evening event is typically delicious homemade pizzas followed by total bliss in our wood fired eco-spa. We think we have the perfect retreat covered – well that’s what our many valued repeat customers tell us!
4. Gift voucher yoga presents
As well as yoga and wellness retreats, we offer yoga enthusiasts class vouchers (both in person and via Zoom), forest bathing sessions (a tree pose in the forest, anyone?), holistic massages and bespoke retreats to suit your specific needs. If you can’t decide on what to choose, why not purchase a voucher and let your Yogini decide what she would like.
5. We really do care about the environment
Christmas can be the most un-environmentally friendly time of the year with so much waste going to landfill. Let your yoga present not only be for her, but kind to the environment too. At Forest Retreats we upcycle, recycle, support various environmental and humanitarian charities and use products that reduce the use of plastic. We also take an environmental deposit for all group bookings to ensure that guests are encourages to reduce landfill.
I hope this blog has sparked some ideas and given you some great reasons to buy one of our yoga presents from Forest Retreats. We not only offer you a range of yoga presents for her, but our guests have told us our yoga and wellbeing retreats hit the spot. We offer both yin and yang yoga practices, and if you can’t decide what to buy why not order some gift vouchers and let her decide and remember – our yoga gifts for her are environmentally friendly!
