Join us for an immersive weekend of Ashtanga Yoga, a profound and ancient style of yoga designed to bring unity to body, mind, and spirit. Originating thousands of years ago, Ashtanga follows a systematic approach rooted in tradition, with each movement and breath working together to purify and strengthen your whole being.
Central to Ashtanga is the concept of Tristhana, or the three places of attention: breath, posture, and gaze (drishti).
This weekend will delve into the Primary Series of Ashanga Yoga, also known as Yoga Chikitsa or “Yoga Therapy,” a sequence of asanas (postures) designed to detoxify, build strength, and improve flexibility.
Whether you’re new to Ashtanga or looking to deepen your practice, this retreat offers a balanced exploration of this timeless tradition. Expect time to practice postures, learn philosophy, have time for self-reflection, and physical renewal,, Be guided towards peace, clarity, and vitality in all that you do.
This retreat can deepen your appreciation and understanding of Yoga in a gentle and supportive way. As a beginner you will learn key concepts and poses without feeling overwhelmed. As an advanced practitioner, you can receive the guidance you need to take your practice further.
