Paradigm-Shifting Yoga Ritual
Blah blah nada.
This is direct connection with yourself, sweet surrender into all your layers.

The voice seems to come from your own head. It guides you steadily through methods and states, through streams of experience. Images. Feelings.
You pass through three thresholds: Stillness, Silence, Darkness.
Through and beyond the experience of the senses.

Asana. Pranayama. Mudra. Bandha. Shatkarma. Are only the first half of it. Preparation for the Inner Yoga.
Then deeper, deeper to the very centre of consciousness.

WHAT YOU WILL DO (BEYOND POSES)
Shatkarma
Remove impurities and bring balance to your body through the powerful cleansing methods of traditional yoga. Techniques that affect all the body's systems and kick-start their function. This is effectively a reset of your physical self.
Pranayama
Remove finer tensions and harmonise your nervous system. The yogic breathing exercises are a bridge between grosser and finer layers of your being; between body and mind. They make your clearer and mentally stronger, and allow you to discover and experience Prana, your life force.
Bandha and Mudra
When you remove tensions through asana and pranayama, you gain access to previously lost energy. In order for this energy to be experienced and directed in a useful way, we use Bandha and Mudra, special physical contractions and gestures that touch the endocrine system and other important areas of the body. They influence your state of mind and level of activity, while bringing consciousness and energy to the different parts of your self.
Pratyahara
How can you become independent from mental disturbances? How can you remain cool in the intense situation? Through Pratyahara, you discover that there are actual things you can do, systematic practices that enable you to act from your own center, even in adverse conditions. Based on a precise knowledge of how the mind works, these methods teach you to work with the mind, rather than fight it.
Dharana
Strengthen your ability to focus and discover that concentration involves no effort, but that it is a relaxed state in which your attention remains easily fixed on an object of your choice for as long as you wish. This is the first step to become master of your mind.
Dhyana
To be aware and present is to experience life fully. This becomes possible through your work with meditation. There are as many meditation methods as there are temperaments, and they are available for any degree of experience or personal preference. In this retreat you will learn some very useful meditations that will make you more present and aware.

There is a community of the spirit.
Join it, and feel the delight
of walking in the noisy street
and being the noise.
