Frequently asked questions
How long is a small group yoga retreat at Seeds of Silence?
A Small Group Retreat at Seeds of Silence lasts four or five nights. You arrive and leave on the same day as the rest of the group, which has a maximum of six guests.
How is it different from a Custom Retreat?
On a Small Group Retreat at Seeds of Silence, you arrive and leave on the same day as a fixed group of up to six guests. Every day includes a morning and an evening class, brunch and dinner, and during the day there are a few group activities you are free to join. On a Custom Retreat, you choose your own arrival day and length of stay, and meet other guests on site who come and go on different days.
How much personal guidance do I get in a small group?
A Small Group Retreat at Seeds of Silence has a maximum of six guests. That small group makes the retreat personal, with more calm and attention for every guest. It also allows Cindy to take each person’s level, pace and physical and mental needs into account during the sessions.
What types of yoga are offered during the retreat?
Cindy tailors every Small Group Retreat at Seeds of Silence to the guests and their wishes. These styles are often included:
- Kundalini yoga: a dynamic and meditative form of yoga that combines movement, breathing, mantra and meditation.
- Qflow: energy, movement and breath combined into one flow, each time with a theme linked to NLP and mindfulness, Chinese medicine, ayurveda and the chakras.
- Yin yoga: lying or seated postures held a little longer. They open up the body and help develop mobility and body awareness.
- Restorative yoga: focused on recovery and gentleness. You rest comfortably in a posture for a longer time, supported by bolsters, blankets and blocks.
- Breathwork: the conscious use of breathing techniques to influence body and mind, intended to help release stress and reduce tension.
- Sound healing: the sounds and vibrations of singing bowls, gongs and other instruments invite deep relaxation, stillness and letting go.
Vinyasa, five-element yoga, Qigong and Yoga Nidra may also be included.
Do I have to join every session, or do I have free time too?
You don’t have to take part in everything. A Small Group Retreat at Seeds of Silence combines guided sessions with time for yourself. If you need more rest, there is room for that. You can use your free time to relax, enjoy the pool or nature, or explore the area.
