Deep Dive In Retreat
Kalamata, Greece

June 3-8

Welcome to Deep Dive In, where we will journey into the depths of our senses, and the Mediterranean Sea. With panoramic Peloponnese views as our backdrop, an epic pad with comfy beds, famously loved dive spots and nourishing Greek food, we have created 5 days of embodied explorations and free diving training for a small, intimate group.

This training is open to all, whether this is your first experience of yoga or free diving, and your interest is piqued, or you have already explored and would like to develop further.

We will guide movement practices to take you beneath your skin into the sea of  your being. Through yoga, somatics, emodied yin, nidra & dance, we will shed layers to find a deeper connection with our bodies and our cells.

You will learn freediving theory, and how for us as mammals we are born from and for the sea. Exploring the spaces in us through breath and breath hold, visualisations and meditations we will learn the fundamental practices of freediving. 

We will then carry the tools learned to the beautiful blues of Kalamata. In the waters of this world class freediving location we will have the privelege to explore our newfound and ever evolving presence, intimacy and expansiveness as our 'selves'.

An Embodied Immersion

‘Embodied’ yoga can be described as simply moving from our deepest desire to come more into relationship with ourselves, and the intelligence of our bodies.

Exploring with our awareness the systems in our bodies like the fluids, or the lungs, and the cells, and how they invite us to move, can expand our senses and reveal the ways we are in relationship with not just our bodies, but everything around us.  

Free diving is another beautiful way to explore the depths of our being. Your journey down will be guided by our experienced instructor Roisin, at your pace and rhythm.

Come as you are. Come curious. Our offerings and the beautiful dive spots of Kalamata have something for everyone.

Dominique and Roisin are so excited to offer this potent combination of experiencing the felt sense of us cultivated from embodied practice, and exploring our capacity to dive deeper from a sense of calm, in the ocean.

 

The fusion invites a beautiful journey of discovering deeper layers of ourselves.

 

From our personal perspectives we can attest to the potential of awakening to more of the frequencies that comprise us, a passion to live an enlivened experience, an increase in vitality and decrease of reactivity, as we learn to sense space in any given moment before responding.  

This life long journey of growth opens up as you take that deep dive in...

The Guides

Dominique:

I love to move my body. We are motion and we express ourselves in movement. 10+ years of teaching yoga has been a ride of immersions in different ways to move, but the last 5 years have been the most revealing, through an ‘embodied’ approach. It shows us how to simply be at home with you, to trust the wisdom of YOUR body, and it’s inherent capacity to heal, regenerate, repattern and take you on a journey of relationship with space… To feel the pulse of energy of the universe that is in all of us. We just need to listen to this language of the body to tap into that innate and deep knowing.

I have recently been exploring the deep lagoons and cenotes near my home on the Caribbean coast of Mexico… Free diving has been another beautiful journey of surrender to a liminal space, learning to be in relationship with my interior landscape, to accept where I am on any given day, whilst connecting deeply to the nature of water that surrounds me. I am so excited to share this space and these discoveries with you and see where it takes us!

Róisín:

Yoga has been a pillar throughout my adult life and like Dom, has taken many forms and twists and flows. The trainings I hold dear and now currently share are rooted in embodiment, or ‘direct experience’ through the senses and from the senses. Practically, the containers can take the shape of slower embodied yin, more active cardio/pilates classes or somatic dance. The ‘ways in’ are ever evolving.

The ocean has always been my big love. Freediving is the magic mix of what makes me feel alive; being in the water, breathing well, practicing pure presence.

If this offering sparks something in you I hope you can join us on this journey of BEING and FEELING through it all.
