Yoga Retreat August 2024

Namaste, welcome and thank you for your interest to participate and experience a weekend of yoga & meditation. The theme for this retreat is based on:

  • Exercise (Asana): Our physical body is meant to move and exercise. If our lifestyle does not provide natural motion of muscles and joints, then disease and discomfort might ensue with time. Proper exercise is meant to be pleasant to the practitioner while beneficial to the body, mind and spirit.
  • Breathing (Pranayama): Yoga teaches us how to use the lungs to their maximum capacity and how to control the breath. Proper breathing is deep, slow and rhythmical. This increases vitality, calmness of the mind and mental clarity.
  • Relaxation (Savasana): Long before the invention of cars, planes, telephones, computers, social media, freeways and other modern triggers of stress, the Rishis (sages or seers) and Yogis practised very powerful techniques of deep relaxation. As a matter of fact, many modern stress-management and relaxation methods borrow heavily from this tradition. By relaxing deeply all the muscles the Yogi can thoroughly rejuvenate his/her nervous system and attain a deep sense of inner peace.
  • Diet (Vegetarian): Besides being responsible for building our physical body, the foods we eat profoundly affect our mind. For maximum body-mind efficiency and complete spiritual awareness, Yoga advocates a lacto-vegetarian diet. This is an integral part of the Yogic lifestyle.
  • Positive Thinking and Meditation (Dhyana): Here is one the most important point, we become what we think. A positive outlook on life can be developed by learning and practicing the teachings of the philosophy of Vedanta. The mind will be brought under perfect control by regular practice of meditation.
  • Chakra system & our Aura:  When we feel in perfect balance physically & mentally by the above-described practices, that are all part of Yoga, our energy field around us is in balance as well. This helps us to feel strong, radiant, happy & healthy in any part of our lives.
