Program
During this retreat, you will study the main aspects and principles of Ashtanga yoga, implementing knowledge into practice. You will build a solid practice based on the Vinyasa system, applying bandhas, drishti, and using ujayi breath. You will discover the foundation of each asana and its modifications, body alignment, the therapeutic effect of asanas, and additional training for building strength and flexibility to improve the practice.
You will take a journey to explore the inner and outer sequence of the Ashtanga yoga primary series to make a daily asana practice a meditation experience. The retreat also includes training in pranayama practice. Students will be guided to practice a number of pranayama techniques consistently, taking time to deepen their understanding of this ancient practice and strengthening breath control.
During the retreat, you will learn kriya techniques (ancient purification exercises that help to purify the body and prepare yourself for pranayama and asana practice). Students will be provided with basic equipment for these cleansing practices.
This retreat would not be complete without focusing on mind work. Even the asana, pranayama, and kriya require deep concentration, while students get additional experience and training in yoga Nidra, and meditation. It will help to change the habitual patterns of the mind, essential for self-development and inner growth. Students will also be introduced to yoga philosophy and main ancient yoga texts, as it gives a strong theoretical foundation of the practice.
