Hilly Hannken
Hilly’s beautiful and gentle style of Hatha yoga incorporates many of the most common forms of yoga taught in the west today. Suitable for all levels of experience and fitness, Hilly will guide you to move your body slowly and deliberately into different poses that gently challenge your strength and flexibility whilst helping you achieve a sense of peace, mindfulness and gratitude.
With awareness on breathing and posture, Hilly will help you to build core strength which is key to good posture and encourages improvements in balance. Hilly’s practice also enhances the health of your spine, joints and muscles which promote improvements in the range of motion in your joints. Hilly’s beautiful energy can guide you in your practise to a place where levels of anxiety and depression caused by everyday living can be significantly reduced.
We are delighted to partner with Hilly for this retreat.
