Physical, Mental & Emotional stability and resilience

Self-Observation, Self-Acceptance and Self-Regulation

with Sw. Atmamuktananda

Includes Free link to 1 month of Digital Ashram Membership Zoom Classes

During the 5 night Intensive one is encouraged to keep a diary of helpful hints and self-inspiration.

In the deeper system of yoga, asanas are not considered to be physical only.  Asana – postures have the potential to refocus the body/mind connection, strengthen the bodies functions for health and wellbeing and lead us into meditation, relaxation and clarity in our life direction.

Pranayama and conscious breathing are more than a physiological tool.  Pranayama combined with mudras and bandhas are the bridge between the body to the mind and to more subtle flows of energy between the major energy flows of Ida & Pingala Nadis.  Physical and mental flow and balance of the subtle bodies – the Koshas.

Sankalpa & Mantra gather the dissipated aspects of the mind by developing Self-Regulation tools to move from chaos and uncertainness to restoring resilience and balance between body, mind and emotions, decisions, actions and reactions. 

The practical techniques of yoga prompt creative lifestyle changes by Resetting the Inner Compass and restoring Self-Regulation and Self-Empowerment in maintaining a harmonious interactive life with self and the world.

Power of Awareness 
Silent Meditation Retreat 

with Sw. Anandakumar
6 Days (5 nights)

09 - 15 Feb     $1200 Book Here Early Bird before 1 Feb

Suitable for everyone who wants to look a little deeper into their own nature more clearly for understanding, clarity of purpose and decision making

The need of the moment is to find a deeper level of relaxation than the merely casual. In this way you can better insure your personal wellbeing against the challenges of modern life - internally as well as externally. Up to a certain point relaxation is spontaneous, we all know how we do it. But past that point you need structure, technique and, yes, some effort - it does not come automatically.

This can be done most effectively during a silent meditation retreat in an ideal environment. It’s called meditation but really it’s a way of getting in touch with yourself the most effective and direct way. 

The silence during the course is integral to reaching deeper into the benefits you can discover. It helps immeasurably to tune into your inner self without any distraction. 
 
The focus is on Awareness: 

• What it is and why it’s important
• How to practise it accurately 
• How to maintain it
• What it can do for you
• And the benefits that can accrue in daily life 

Awareness is the constant in meditation. Awareness is being present, in the moment, and there are delightful ways to be present. Awareness is seeing things equally, undivided by opinion and self appraisal. 

Awareness leads to that deeper level of relaxation we aspire to. It brings us into contact with our truer inner nature and with it the luxury of allowing that inner nature to express, the part of our nature that you feel we need to censure or manage in daily life. Ultimately relaxation is freedom.
