From Breath to Being
A 3 Day Yoga & Meditation Retreat
with Anahata Giri
Friday 5 March - Monday 8 March
At the heart of our yoga practice is the breath. It is the breath that renews our yoga practice to keep it fresh, real, transformative and deeply meaningful. We will explore asana, pranayama, chanting,yoga nidra and meditation with an emphasis on following the breath where it leads us. We will also explore the relevance of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras to our daily life. As we give ourselves to the breath we can relax into who we really are and directly experience a natural ease and buoyancy in life.
When we embrace ourselves as who we really are, we can fully embrace Life itself. The breath connects us with our own essence, a ground of beingness that is naturally spacious, open and at ease with life. As we rest into this inner presence, an acceptance and celebration of life unfolds naturally.
This retreat is ideal for those who have some yoga experience and want to deepen their yoga practice. Students from all yoga styles are welcomed as we will be exploring an essence that underlies all forms of yoga. We will refresh our understanding of what yoga is - with an emphasis on the inner journey of yoga.This is an opportunity to find ways to apply yoga to how we actually live our daily life, finding not only our unique yoga path but our unique path in life. A deeply nourishing and inspiring retreat!
