Ongoing Study, CPD and Deep Practice Retreat with Gary Carter and Simon Low
3-9 July 2022 (6-night retreat) at Santillan Retreat.
Simon Low and Gary Carter have been together sharing their interwoven tapestry of yoga teachings for over 20 years. Gary returns to join Simon at Santillan for another informative, inspiring, and enjoyable retreat for teachers, trainees and all students interested in deepening their practice, understanding and sharing of yoga.
Incorporating Gary’s recent findings during the world’s first full-body plastination for Bodyworlds, Simon and Gary will share teachings toward the health and healing potential of practices to cultivate tensegrity in movement and posture, and deeper stillness and presence within relaxation.
Simon’s teachings this week will also feature the exploration of ‘presence’; of the physical body as a condensed aspect of our soul being or ‘true nature’ as opposed to simply the vehicle which transports the soul through this lifetime.
Somatics, circular and spiral movement patterns, intelligent alignment principles, breath work, mudras and meditations will enrich your personal practice and teaching skills, while empowering your innate healing potential toward your Self and your students.
There will be 3 sessions per full day:
Morning: 8am-10:30am
Day: 12pm-2pm
Afternoon: 5-pm-7:30pm
Santillan serves 3 nutritious meals a day after each session.
Santillan is fully equipped with yoga props and mats.
Please feel free to bring your own.
Please bring 2 yoga towels / sarongs or wraps for daily use in the indoor and outdoor studios.
Santillan’s new outdoor studio will be a joy to use for some sessions during this lovely warm time of year.
50 hours of training toward YA(US) 500-hour qualification, CPD points and ongoing training programs.

If you have critical internet activity to undertake in your room while here it is my recommendation that you purchase a SIM card with good internet access for the week on arrival at the airport. The fibre-optic cable has been delayed yet again by pandemic impacted Telefonica & it is likely that the wi-fi service will be the same as your last visit to Santillán. Recent guests who have had to continue their work online have found the local sim option to be very affordable and more effective in their bedrooms.
