Yoga and meditation classes
Throughout these retreats, you will be focusing on different guided meditations every day in the morning and evening to teach your mind to relax and focus on silence within. The aim is to help you return with a more positive and happy mindset. There will be different series of yoga postures taught to you every day, in the morning and in the evening, designed to slowly open up the whole body over five days so that by the last day of the retreat, every muscle within your body feels open, alive, relaxed, rejuvenated and energized.
"Free to do/attend" retreat
Note that all the classes are all optional during your yoga retreats. We want you to develop at your own pace and we want you to enjoy your stay. We want you to enjoy your yoga retreats as much as possible, to become healthy in mind and body, to learn how to relax and deal with stress, and learn how to feel at one with yourself.
"Your yoga" structure
At the yoga retreat center, the aim is to help you develop your health, learn relaxation techniques and learn meditation to help you to deal with stress, and improve the quality of your life, your happiness, and your sense of well-being. On the yoga retreat, you will be taught meditation, asana (posture), chanting, and breathing techniques. All classes will be optional as they want you to enjoy your stay and develop at your own pace.
Namit will be using his highly developed teaching system during each class at the yoga retreat at Yoga Sutra Shala to teach Vinyasa yoga. The yoga retreat center will be run specifically as a shala, a place of refuge, and a place to find inner peace. Your shala will be a perfect place to escape the stresses of the modern world and develop a sense of peace, calm, well-being, and happiness.
Guided walk
During this retreat, there will be one guided walk. In summer, when the days are warmer, the guided walk will take place in the early morning or late evening. During the winter season, midday to early evening is the best time to do the guided walk and catch the sun.

On Sunday, they have a welcome dinner and introductions. This is the time that many good friendships begin and you have the opportunity to orientate yourself and rest from your journey.
