Sky Studio is a sacred space at Pezula Nature Retreat, not just for its breathtaking views of Knysna but as the calm setting for our daily yoga sessions.
We offer two distinct styles:
Yin Yoga: A slow-paced, meditative practice focusing on deep stretching and relaxation. Poses are held for extended periods to target connective tissues, enhancing flexibility and mindfulness.
Vinyasa Yoga: A dynamic sequence of postures that flow seamlessly, linking breath to movement, and building strength and inner heat. Be prepared to sweat!
Yoga at Pezula is more than just physical exercise; it nurtures your body from within. The practice stimulates deep tissues, glands, and organs, helping release long-stored toxins. Sweating enhances this detox process, leaving your entire body with a radiant glow.
