Yoga Asanas
The word yoga means "becoming one". The practice is about gradually opening up to the realization that everything is one and expressing itself through you. This realization requires an ethic towards yourself and others.
In gradually opening up it is important to listen carefully to life, as if life itself guides you. Practicing yoga can bring you the sensitivity and confidence needed for this and thus empower you. It is a physical way to open yourself to a meditative state, and silence, solitude, and space supports this, which is why in addition to yoga asanas and meditation, practicing silence during a retreat is highly recommended.
During a yoga retreat, a maximum of five people participate in a yoga class. The groups are deliberately kept small and the explanations of the asanas are kept minimal to support the contemplative aspect of a practice.
Asha Meditation
During the retreat you will have six meditations, called Asha Meditation.
In the first half of the Asha meditation a regular rhythm is maintained by the staf for you in order to make a transition to a meditative state. The second half of the meditation is in silence.
Silence
During the retreat we offer the possibility to be in silence. Yoga in combination with silence and meditation is a wonderful way to quieten down and connect in full attention. It offers the opportunity to fully relax and experience a beneficial space for the body and mind. If you need inner peace to return with more clarity, then this yoga retreat is for you.
