Yoga
The yoga practice at Shambhala aims to stay close to the roots of yoga as it has been taught in India for thousands of years. In its broad definition, yoga aims to unite the body, mind, and soul and prepare the body for meditation.
Today, you can find many different yoga schools. And you might have come across different names. But in its essence, yoga is yoga and the practice starts on the mat wherever you are.
Meditation
Meditation can help you reduce stress and anxiety, improve your focus and concentration, and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. At their yoga retreat, they offer a variety of meditation techniques and guidance to help you unlock the profound benefits of this practice. They have a meditation garden and dedicated spaces throughout the center.
Kundalini yoga
Kundalini yoga is an ancient practice that aims to purify and activate the life force energy in the body known as Prana. Kundalini yoga combines tantra, mantra, and prana teachings. Tra means "tool" and Tan means "body". Tantra is a tool for the body while Mantra means the tool for the mind.
Kundalini yoga will help you tune in for the day and purify your body to another level. Moreover, you will gain the awareness of the energy centers in your body that you may have heard of as the chakras.
Elemental Rhythm breathwork
Inspired by the elements of nature, Earth, water, air, and fire and supported by musical rhythms, you will experience the full potential of your breath. Release stuck emotions and pains. Expand your vision. Receive profound guidance to your intentions. Elemental Rhythm is an exceptional breakthrough experience.
