Description of retreat.
Being peacefully present and aware of our thoughts, mind, and body, takes us out of our story and moved us into presence. Presence is where life is. - San
We practice awareness through awareness of our body and breath in asana and pranayama sessions.
Yoga and yoga Nidra will help you to restore and rebalance your energy. It will increase your awareness and presence
Om Yoga Shala venue has a natural healing energy that can be felt immediately on arrival. The forest and hillside setting gives you enough space to dive right into your yoga sadhana or experience an inner silence that is hard to come by in busy city life.
You can practice yoga or attend philosophy classes or simply chill out at the beach to find your own space and peace.

A typical day starts at 7:00 a.m. with morning prayers, pranayama, and asana practice. After breakfast, you have time to relax or self-study before you join the noon session on yoga philosophy.
The evening session after lunch ends with an intense session of Vinyasa yoga practice. After the evening class, you can visit the beach and relax by the sea. Dinner is served before closing the day.
You can expect this to be a journey of pure bliss, joy, and lots of learning from the teachers who are always willing to help you take your practice to the next level.
