WELLNESS RETREAT IN GALICIA, SPAIN
3rd to 6th JUNE 2027
The Art of Deep Rest: Sleep & Yoga Nidra
Rest is not simply about sleeping more but learning how to rest deeply. Discover yogic techniques and the profound practice of Yoga Nidra to calm the nervous system, quieten the mind and support deeper, more restorative sleep, so you can wake feeling genuinely rested, renewed and ready for each day.
We live in a world that teaches us how to stay busy, productive and connected, but very rarely teaches us how to truly rest.
We may go to bed tired but find that the mind continues working. We replay conversations, think about tomorrow, worry about things we cannot control or simply struggle to switch off. And even when we sleep through the night, we may wake feeling as though we haven’t fully rested.
Deep rest is about more than sleep.
It is about learning how to release physical tension, quieten mental activity and allow the whole system to move from constant stimulation towards a deeper state of relaxation and restoration.
During four restorative days in Galicia, Sri Swami Purohit will explore the relationship between sleep, the mind and our ability to rest deeply, drawing on the wisdom and practices of yoga and meditation, with a special focus on Yoga Nidra.
Often described as yogic sleep, Yoga Nidra is a profound practice of conscious relaxation. Through guided practice and deeper understanding, you will explore how to slow down, turn your attention inward and create the conditions for more meaningful rest.
Because sometimes what we need is not simply more sleep, but to learn how to rest.
What will you learn on this retreat?
🪷 The difference between sleeping and truly resting, and why more hours in bed do not always leave us feeling restored
🪷 How mental activity, everyday stress and overstimulation can affect our ability to switch off and rest deeply
🪷 The principles and practice of Yoga Nidra and how conscious relaxation can support deeper rest
🪷 Yogic and meditative techniques to help quieten the mind and release physical and mental tension
🪷 How to become more aware of the habits and rhythms that may be affecting the quality of your rest
🪷 Practical ways to create a calmer transition from the activity of the day into sleep and restoration
🪷 How to make rest a conscious part of your wellbeing rather than something you allow yourself only when you are exhausted
