Sweet Harmony Community Choir
SONG & YOGA RETREAT in WEST WALES
9-11th September 2022
I am so excited to be offering this weekend singing retreat. We will create a nourishing space, dive deep into song, and nurture our bodies with gentle yoga at Fron Farm Yurt Retreat Centre nestled in the beautiful hills here in West Wales.
I will share my favourite songs with you and you will have time to relax and enjoy the hot tubs and saunas onsite.
As well as beautiful yurt accommodation From Farm has its very own medieval church - we will fill the space with our singing and enjoy the amazing acoustics inside.
The surrounding hills form the perfect backdrop for our singing adventure- we will make time to enjoy the land and do a singing walk to an ancient burial chamber tucked away in the woods nearby.
About Us
Maya Waldman
I run 3 local choirs and have 15 years of community leading experience. My teaching style is playful and supportive. I am passionate about empowering people to feel safe and free making music and singing together.
I teach music from a broad collection of styles and origins, I love songs that make me feel connected to my body and the earth, I love the sense of utter joy and wonder that comes from creating harmonies together.
Marie Aditi
Marie is a certified Yoga teacher with Yoga Satsang Ashram Wales in Sanatan Yoga Classical Hatha Yoga & Rishiculture Ashtanga. Marie’s style of teaching is inclusive, all level practice. The key focus is Awareness, the first step in yoga. Awareness of the connection between body and breath, mind and soul. Creating mobility, strength & balance as well as allowing your energy to flow.
Marie says: – “My intention in class is to allow a safe space for personal introspect and yet finding courage to challenge oneself. My experience is that it is often the mind that is holding us back, not our body!”
