Invitation
Grit and Destination Namaste invite women of all ages to join them amidst the beautiful landscape of Corsica surrounded by the magnetic nature and like-minded people. We all know the daily life of a woman can be exhausting! Grit shares the practices that have changed her own life and shifted her physical as well as mental boundaries. This retreat will have daily yoga practices with a special focus on hormones and the endocrine system that helps us regulate our hormones. It is challenging to be attuned to our body when we are constantly obliged to perform and deal with a full life, always on the go. Seize this opportunity to learn how to listen to your body, and how to rebalance yourself when you feel as if your hormones are taking over. Along with Pranayama, Asana classes and workshops, swmming she will guide you on how to feel and relax your body. Corsica’s natural beauty from mountains, to rivers, to the sea and the scented maquis will be the perfect cocoon to surround you with on this beautiful nature based experience.
Benefits
You will leave knowing and feeling the difference that yoga can make in your daily life and being more accepting of your body and self. The holistic Retreat combining the practical application of Gritt’s approach will equip one with the knowledge of how to balance your daily life, knowing how to read your body and deal with hormonal changes and challenges that come with it. The retreat space with blissful daily practices and shared with other women, will help calm your mind and give you renewed energy and vitality to go back to daily life with a new perspective. You do not need to have any practice or experience in this field. The only thing that matters is the willingness to find your desires and needs and let yourself be guided through this experience. For Grit “Yoga is not just practicing Asanas! Yoga is a way to find peace in your body, your mind and in your life.”
About Grit
Grit Hennig is an engineer, working in a challenging, international business environment in Germany. To gain more balance between her work and private life she started practicing yoga while working and living in Thailand in 1997 and this radically changed her life. With a very strong personal yoga practice of over 20 years she wanted to continue her journey and love for Yoga by doing her teacher’s training. She completed her 250 hours’ Registered Yoga Alliance Teacher training in 2017 and went back to complete her 300 hours’ in Mysore, India, both courses, under the guidance and teachings of the exceptional Sir Bharat Shetty, the first Yoga teacher in India certified for his 500 hours by the Yoga Alliance. At 50, she has gone through different cycles of life as a woman and mother. Experiencing the fluctuating effects of hormones on her daily life she decided to study the changes through yoga using different methods to help her through her hormonal cycles and different times. This equipped her with different techniques and practices to cope with these ever changing feminine cycles which she passionately shares in her work.
