Relaxation Breaks

Need a holiday?...I know I do…Come with some like minded individuals  - for a fun winter break with a little bit of organised TLC thrown in

“…then simply relax and float on the waves, bobbing about like a piece of driftwood, letting the water take your weight and washing your stress away….”
"…I had an absolutely fantastic time with you all in Egypt. ...  Thank you ever so much for a very happy, special and enjoyable holiday. It was absolutely first class… I loved the yoga and meditation … very relaxing”
"…am starting to wish we were here for a fortnight instead of a week! … the whole experience has had an air of unintentional co-ordination to it… as if we are getting a helping hand to ensure nobody is getting stressed out”
“….everything a good holiday should be and more….yoga on the beach at sunrise…reading our intentions at the turn of the moon was magical…lots of laughs…no pressure to do anything at all and I spent quite a few hours alone just reading and gazing at the sky,.”
"It was such a fantastic holiday, thank you for making it happen"

in 2007 5 of us organised a week away with no more than a general idea of rest, relaxation, meditation and maybe some activity. To do so with a bunch of like minded individuals to share dinner / outings with when we felt like it. The actually exceeded the idea by a long shot see The Relaxation Break 2007 – testimonials – full story - photographs and so we now offer on a "as requested" basis with optional therapy and training:

Relaxation Breaks on the Red Sea and retreats in Spain and in Scotland

Come for a few days or a few weeks and enjoy stretching / yoga / meditation / exercise each morning; group work first to orient with the resort and discuss group aims, to get into the nub of it mid week and to close just before the goodbye lunch or dinner – all included. Private Therapy / Training is also available as an optional extra but limited so this must be discussed and arranged on booking.

Red Sea - The Relaxation Break - 2008

The Red Sea Retreat is relaxation personified.

How it was in 2007

The day would go so easily: morning class, then some would go running or walking, late breakfast then beach – we’d sit in the same area each day so could always be found. Sun would start to ease off between 2 and 4 so group members might shop, take a massage, explore, go to the gym, or do some therapy, we usually met in the evening 7ish to decide where to eat. We ate as a group every night with usually 1 or 2 of us taking a rain check when we felt like a “pyjama night”.

From the Sharm 2007 Newsletter

“…now relaxing in the warmth where the sun is shining - aha - bliss! The minute I stepped off the plane I could feel the energy of this country, home, the positive input from the sea and Ra, the sun, giver of all life.

Sharm is of course a busy and modern tourist resort quite different from Cairo but the people themselves are completely engaging to a point that is quite overwhelming in the first days used as we are to British reserve and even Scottish dourness (well at this time of the year certainly). The hotel is lovely - I think I'll be able to hold onto the nick name given on 2006 spiritual tour: "5 star Vic". Last night we congregated at the bar taking it all in, got our bearings then ate at the beach bar - BBQ'd shrimps and rice for me, bottle of white, medley of easy listening songs in background, Red Sea on right. We were talking about how quickly our thoughts were manifesting these days - the instant karma thing. Our journey had gone so smoothly -  4.55 top of my road, 8.05 car parking, 8.35 Glasgow airport having missed the 8am queue,  quick saunter through security (honest!) and 10 take off, early arrival straight through, and literally minutes after touch down we were belly dancing to a techno Arabic beat while our driver danced the limo....oops my point was the intention had taken seconds - in fact I wonder which way round it was - it felt like a knowing that all would be well and a lengthening or projecting of that onto the whole trip. Just thought it'd be good to share experiences of that kinda thing perhaps keep us / help us all clear on just what it is, how it is, what it feels like, when we get it right....So now off to make my jogging route and back to do some yoga and meditation with the group….”
