Yoga and You

Yoga is for everybody, you do not need to be flexible or strong in the body. Your yogic journey and practice is unique and personal to you.

In this afternoon of retreat, Bodhini will take you on a journey for you to discover that yoga is so much more than just a way to move our bodies. Yoga is a way of life ,not an exercise or relaxation class.

The Yogic path is one that encompasses our humaness in its entirety.

 The rich wisdom of yoga offers great insights and advice on how to develop our minds, manage our emotions, enliven our spirits and maintain a healthy physical and energetic body.

 When you really embody the full holistic and spiritual aspects of the Yoga teachings, you come to know that yoga is not something you do, yoga is something you are. A state of being. You experience acceptance, peace, compassion and joy which not only brings benefits to you but enables us to be better placed to support those in the world around us.

This afternoon will include a mellow yoga asana (physical) practice but will primarily focus on the more important aspects of yoga such as philosophy, the different paths of yoga, meditation, mantra and mudras and pranayama (breath work). We will bring some clarity to topics such as the chakras and there will be time for questions and discussion.

The afternoon will close with a deeply relaxing yoga nidra practice accompanied by the meditative sounds of Himalayan singing bowls. 

This mini retreat is an invitation for you to develop your understanding of what yoga really is and what kind of yogic path and practices may be right for you. Perfect for both people new to yoga and those already on the path wishing to learn more.
