Your Journey
Each day, you’ll connect with a new element and discover how the same beauty and qualities found in nature also exist within ourselves! It’s true, everyone has the potential to live a life of harmony, joy, and peace alongside the natural world. It’s not about creating something new, but rather reconnecting with our eternal essence.
Just like nature, everything in life works through cycles. By aligning with the natural rhythms of the day and beginning your daily yoga practice with, or just before, the first light, you’ll set a positive tone for the rest of the day, living in greater harmony, peace, and openness.
During the yoga sessions, experienced and passionate teachers will guide you to focus on your breath, heighten your awareness, and explore your true self, while aligning your body, mind, and spirit. Join us and discover the transformative power of yoga!
The retreat is designed as a guided journey through the elements, where participants will learn to work with the earth, fire, water, air, and ether, both as inner elements within their bodies and as external tools for sacred rituals. The daily schedule will include practices such as pranayama, meditation, mantra singing, yoga, and ceremony. Each day will focus on a particular element, with time set aside for meditation, journaling, and making a mandala using offerings from nature. Participants will also have the opportunity to deepen their yoga practice, learn more advanced pranayama techniques, experience stillness and transformation through meditation and authentic Hatha yoga, celebrate life through dance, and connect deeply to the elements and to divine love through Bhakti yoga. Satsang, or being in truth together, is also an important aspect of the retreat.
Day 1 kicks off with an opening ceremony, followed by a yoga dance session that will get your body moving and your energy flowing. In the evening, indulge in a magical experience of Sacred Songs, Dance, and Fire (weather permitting).
From Day 2 to 6, wake up to the sweet sounds of mantra and meditation, setting the tone for a day filled with transformational practices. Dive into an invigorating Hatha Yoga practice, including powerful pranayama techniques, to awaken your inner fire. You’ll also delve into a lecture on Yoga philosophy, nourish your body with healthy meals, and take time to rest and reflect.
In the afternoon, connect with the elements through meditation and journaling, followed by an inspiring workshop. In the evening, indulge in a variety of activities such as Yoga Nidra, meditation, Bhajans, or a sharing circle, to deepen your connection with yourself and others.
On Day 7, relish in your final morning practice of mantra, meditation, and Hatha Yoga, followed by a delicious breakfast. Take the time to reflect on your transformative experience before checking out and saying goodbye to your newfound community.
