Yoga Retreat
The truest reason why you turn to yoga for wellbeing is part
of one's innermost spiritual desire. Many of us are not aware
of the existence of such a desire. What gives us the push in
this direction is a very superficial requirement such as physical
fitness or stress management. A proper course of training definitely
results in unbelievable physical and mental fitness, but what
is necessary to state here is that the emphasis on fitness is
seldom the prime motive behind a yoga practice. No matter how
seriously you are looking for fitness, deep within your mind
you are searching for awareness. I wish to put you through a
journey from consciousness to super-consciousness where physical
fitness is merely a side-effect.
Every spiritually matured mind craves for the understanding
of the self but under present-day conditions, many people do
not have the time to completely devote themselves to the search
of their inner self. However busy such a person's life, one's
mind is never free from spiritual contemplation. The retreat
is meant for any person who has a persistent thirst, but has
no time or direction. The programme is designed to provide maximum
learning and practice opportunity in a short span of time. Apart
from short-duration retreats the ashram offers unlimited learning
opportunities with the most correct environment and guidance
for long-term seekers.
The retreat wishes to eliminate all of your mundane, day-to-day
worries and to provide maximum advantage of this short period
of training. Thus the complete program of the retreat is
offered as a package.
The maximum capicity for the retreats is 10.
