Ready to take better control of your nervous system and make wiser decisions based on who you really want to be instead on your fears and insecurities? Perhaps you are ready get rid of a physical pain in your body that has been troubling you for a long time and had no progress although you have been visiting different experts all the time? There is no better time to take the quantum leap than… now! Join me for this 4-day quest in order to equip yourself with practical, easy-to-use tools to incorporate in your daily life to handle the daily stressful situations in much more resourceful ways. Let me help you materialise the changes you dream of achieving!

Description:

This retreat aims at helping you better understand the fluctuations of your nervous system and its signals and how it affects your body (i.e., physical pain, injuries) and your emotions (e.g., trauma resurfacing, panic attacks). You will learn how to stop self-sabotage and how to effectively get closer to manifesting the life you are dreaming of. Here is how:

  • Physically intense, yet powerfully therapeutic, Forrest Yoga sequences which will create harmony in your body. Accessible for all levels.

  • Therapeutic hands-on assists that will bring space into your joints and make you feel more at ease in your body instead of pushing you to injury.

  • Daily Ceremony and Vision Quest, which will help you shed the internal noise, cleanse your energy field and prepare the fertile soil to plant the seeds of change and transformation.

  • Breathwork sessions that will help you influence your autonomous nervous system to function optimally.

You will learn how to turn shit into fertiliser by approaching pain, injuries, stress and emotional issues of all sorts from a place of problem-solving and embrace them as teachers. We are meant to use such learning experiences as a call for action to discover our own, unique gifts and put them into good use and be of service to humanity. I strongly believe that we are here for a higher purpose. Let me help you get more clarity on what’s yours!

Your Teacher:

Ilias is a Level 5 - Forrest Yoga Guardian handpicked by Ana Forrest and Jose Calarco. He is also a certified Energy Medicine practitioner by dr. Alberto Villoldo (Four Winds Society). and Certified Breathwork Coach by YogaBody Teachers College. He is based in Oslo, where he is offering group, private and corporate yoga classes, as well as workshops, teacher trainings, immersions and retreats. He loves helping his students open up new neurological pathways, take better control of their nervous system and heal their physical and emotional pain through Forrest Yoga, therapeutic hands-on assists, bodywork Ceremony, Breathwork and Energy Medicine. His classes are intense – yet accessible to all levels – and provide a unique blend of playfulness and discipline and revolve around finding softness within strength. His intelligently created sequences create a feeling of harmony, relief and space in body and mind as they are based on his deep understanding of anatomy. Very often, his sequences help the practitioners dissolve old scar tissue, revitalise their fascia and free themselves from trauma, always under the full support and guidance by Ilias.

Ilias is expert on seeing energy and addressing the specific needs of his students, even in a group setting. He is truly passionate about working on the energetic field of his students by purifying it, so that they can grow new body that heals and ages differently. His scientific background as geoscientist helps him to be structured and succinct in his teachings. He knows how to marry spirituality and science in a way that makes sense. His goal is for the students to leave the classes feeling energised, inspired and spacious in body and mind, so that they can live their lives in a way that makes them feel proud of themselves.

FAQ:

  • Q: I have attended your retreat before. Is it going to be the same content?

    A: No, all my events are different and customised according to the people attending them and my latest inspirations. I keep myself busy with evolving constantly, so there’s no way it will be an exact copy.

  • Q: Is this retreat only for advanced students when it comes to the physical practice? It sounds advanced!

    A: Good question. The answer is NO. In all my events I provide variations for students of all levels, including people with injuries and pregnant women. However, this retreat will do challenge your physical, mental and emotional limits in a safe and interesting way that will help you grow on all levels.
