Day 2: Inner Peace & Exploration

Sauna, Ice-bath, Yoga-flow & Breath-work
Kick off the longest day’s activities with an invigorating 3-hour session starting at 9:00 AM, led by Rob from Evergreen Yogi. This workshop is structured to challenge participants but ensures everyone finishes with a sense of achievement and high spirits. The session begins with about 45 minutes of Durga Pranayama or full breathwork, a yogic technique that thoroughly engages the respiratory system while participants lay down.
Following the breathwork, Rob will guide attendees through a 45-60 minute Yoga flow. This practice is designed to accommodate all abilities, incorporating elements from various yoga styles into a seamless and soothing Hatha flow. The sequence will energize and sensitize the nervous system, concluding with a relaxing Shavasana.
After yoga, participants can unwind in a traditional wood-fired steam sauna, where the temperature ranges from 80°C to 100°C. Rob will provide a brief talk on the benefits of sauna use.
The session concludes with an optional but encouraged cold plunge. Attendees can support each other while Rob offers guidance on using breath control to manage the body’s response to the cold. Most will find themselves in the cold plunge for between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Afterward, a warm spot near a fire pit and a hot drink provides a perfect setting for sharing experiences and warming up.
This comprehensive session is designed not just for physical exertion but to foster a community spirit and provide a deeply rejuvenating experience for the body and mind.
