Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh

Yoga amongst the yew trees

Meeting at Old Winchester Hill carpark at 9:30am, the morning starts with the group coming together for a guided breathing practise (pranayama) and intention setting. We will then take a  mindful wander to a clearing within the ancient yew trees for yoga and meditation. Here we will connect with the earth and our surroundings using your chosen tree for support and inspiration. We finish with a nature inspired meditation before a silent wander back. 

The yew trees at Old Winchester Hill are one of my favourite places to visit and sit quietly, looking at the canopy above and the beautiful rich colour of the twisting branches. I often sit and think of our ancestors and how they would have viewed the landscape, the wildlife and the changing seasons. Come and join me as we walk in the footsteps of those that have walked before us.

Join us as we walk across the beautiful Harting Down for a Mindful Wander focusing on gratitude. Meeting in the National Trust carpark at 9:30am, we will first come together and set our inner intention for the walk, you will be guided through some gentle breathing techniques to help centre and calm you before we embark on the walk. The walk will take place in silence, giving you time to take in the scenery and wildlife, whilst contemplating what you are grateful for. This is your chance unplug from technology, breathing in fresh air and count your blessings.

We will be completing the Harting Down Wildlife walk, a 4-mile* circular route taking in the amazing views and historical landscape. Along the way we will stop to move and flow through yoga poses, taking inspiration from the nature and wildlife around us, returning back to close with a guided meditation and opportunity to share.
