Description
Begin your day by arriving at 9am at Riverfront Guesthouse and Backpackers for a beginner friendly 1-hour Hatha yoga class, starting with pranayama (breath work), a sun salutation flow sequence (core strength vinyasa inspired), and ending in a silent meditation to reset your nervous system and get fully present and relaxed to set the scene for the rest of the day to follow. After yoga, we'll change into our swimming clothes and grab a kayak to spend the next few hours enjoying paddling along the river and back. On your return you'll have time for a quick shower to rinse off before enjoying a traditional South African potjie lunch next to the river - the way the local people in the region enjoy it for a cultural immersion - followed by a mindful walk in the garden to learn about growing food while harvesting fresh herbs. With the fresh herbs you'll be guided through a herbal workshop where you’ll learn how to use these herbs at home.Includes
