Īśvara Prandidhana Retreat
4 Days and 3 Nights
To A.L.I.G.N (Attune|Love|Imagine|Guide|Nurture)
through Asana, Pranayama and Meditation
23 November to 26 November 2023
We live in a world where information and stimuli are everywhere, it is easy to lose focus and become one with chaos. We engage in all kinds of practices, therapies and exercises to give us respite, without actually finding steadiness, true contentment and peace within.
Īśvara Pranidhana translates to ‘true self’ or ‘ultimate reality’ or through the power of surrender. If Īśvara is the inner compass, then Pranidhana is devoting our focus inwards, remembering to stay connected to the inner compass; the essence of wisdom and light, not just occasionally but throughout the day.
Īśvara Prandidhana Retreat shares the art of Asana, Pranayama and Meditation to create a journey to explore and awaken integrity, energy and awareness through classical yoga knowledge and meditation to devote our attention and experiences from less doing, to more being. Listening, aligning and connecting inwards to your authentic self – giving the body an opportunity to speak with you, finding a sense of belonging in the heart that aligns with the psyche.
