Each day is split into three sections: yoga, breath & meditation.
They are described below:
Hatha Yoga is a slow and steady practice. Each pose is held for a short duration of time while controlling the breath. You perform all types of poses like standing, sitting and lying poses. The teacher shows you how to position your body safely.
You become familiar with moving in a synchronised way with your breath. You also get to know how your body feels during the practice. This contributes in each pose to be practiced more safely.
All classes are designed for the beginner and designed for all levels. Please inform the teacher before class if you have any pain or an injury so that precautions can be taken while practicing.
Pranayama is to breathe mindfully. A few simple techniques are taught such as deep belly breathing and alternate nostril breathing. These only take a few minutes to complete and can be performed at work, at home and before bed.
Meditation classes are guided. You will sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and follow the teacher's instructions. You learn to focus on your breath, become familiar with your breathing and control your thoughts while focusing.
You also get time to sit in silence. A few quiet minutes can feel refreshing, if you haven’t take a break in long time.
The day starts with a short pooja. This is a simple prayer in the school. It helps to make your mornings peaceful. You can join, watch or simply sit quietly.
Chanting involves reciting mantras at the same time. No prior knowledge of Sanskrit required. The teacher recites the words himself and you have to repeat it after him.
This retreat is open to all, regardless of prior yoga experience. Whether you’re an avid traveler, a couple looking for a mindful getaway, or an individual seeking spiritual enrichment, our program offers the perfect balance of relaxation, learning, and personal development.
