Description of the retreat
Being peacefully present with our own fears we become fearless. Like Shiva wearing a necklace of snakes.' - Agni
The retreat starts from a week of emotional mindfulness, mindful practice of yoga, and yoga Nidra. During this week, you will cultivate the inner focus of attention in silence. The first week includes an individual coaching session and individual guidance if needed.
Additional Ashtanga yoga classes can be followed during this week.
The two following weeks include also group sessions focused on transition issues. During these weeks you can attend extra Asthanga yoga class, yoga philosophy class, and additional emotional coaching sessions if needed.
Emotion-focused work will allow you to become more aware of what you feel. Only when you know what you feel, you know what you want or need. You will learn how to be with your own feelings in a liberating and growth-promoting way.
Yoga and yoga Nidra will help you to restore and rebalance your energy. It will increase your awareness and presence. You will have an opportunity to address any important individual questions during group or individual sessions.
