“The first aim of asanas is relief from physical and mental distress. Asanas create temporary tension in the body, stimulating the elimination of toxins, making the joints flexible and improving the health of the muscles. They also bring about coordination in the functioning of the nervous system and increase the efficiency of the internal organs. Thus, with regular practice of asanas, the body gradually becomes healthier. The concept of health in yoga is having a body which is free from tension, stress and disease.” – Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
In the system of Hatha Yoga, asana (physical postures) is just one of the branches in which the body is prepared to become steady, stable, balanced and harmonious, which naturally influences the state of mind. Hatha Yoga uses the body as preparation, to settle the mind through working with the body and the energies of the body. Only then can we take up the practices of meditation for managing the mind. Through disconnecting from the causes of disturbance and imbalance, peace, harmony and happiness can naturally arise, as an ongoing mood of the mind.
In this weekend retreat, you will learn how the tradition of yoga systematically utilises asana as a pathway to higher experience, and a more fulfilling quality of life. Through exposure to ashram lifestyle, you will come to recognise the true aspirations not only of the practice of asana, but of integral yoga, incorporating yoga nidra (deep relaxation), karma yoga (awareness in action), mantra chanting, havan (fire ceremony), a yogic lifestyle.

Life itself brings many opportunities to practice awareness of our habits, actions, reactions and the constant flow of thoughts and emotions.
• postures to release the relaxation responses and develop stillness
• yoga nidra – conscious relaxation for the body, mind and emotions
• meditative breathing practices to awaken the connection to subtle attributes of concentration
• the ability to observe or witness the mental flow of thoughts without sinking in them
• the importance of a regular practice
• the importance of living a more conscious joyful lifestyle
Once the mind becomes less busy and more inward moving the next step towards discovering the quieter mind is Antar Mouna – learning to observe all the traffic of the mind with equanimity and to establish oneself in the quiet non-reactive mind.
Antar Mouna – inner observation allows us to be less affected or defeated by the ever changing expectations, disappointments and natural circumstances occurring in life.

On this weekend the 7 stages of Tattwa Shuddhi will be introduced and taught by Sw. Atmamuktananda who had the good fortune to learn this ageless practice in India from Sw. Satyasangananda herself. Sw. Satyasangananda is the author of the book Tattwa Shuddhi.
The stages presented throughout the weekend will give a good understanding into this tantric practice so that you can continue with a home practice for spiritual inner purification and a deeper outer understanding in your worldly life.
Every individual is composed of five basic elements or tattwas which can be purified and transformed through the process of meditation, mantra & chanting, yantra, havan, asana, pranayama & yoga lifestyle.
The ashram’s sattwic environment is the ideal place to experience the tantric practice of Tattwa Shuddhi which includes knowledge and experience of the entire personality. Prior experience of meditation is required.
