Celebrating life

This gate-away will help you to have a better understanding about the relation between breath & energy, mind & sensations. During this exploration of our inner universe, stillness and mindfulness transforms motion into meditation, and experiences into profound awareness.

Let’s celebrate the essence of life, by opening the body, relaxing the mind, and understanding the subtle relation between life force, breath & emotions.

During the weekend, we will explore the whole range of yoga asanas, from the standing postures to the restorative ones, along with inversions & twists. Through these physical postures, we will cultivate a safe yoga practice, develop our awareness of the breath, and see how to send its energy where it is needed to create & strengthen the postures and increase their benefits.

Stillness and mindfulness in movement will allow us to sense on a deeper level the flow of our life force; when motion become meditation, the deep connection created with ourselves enable us to feel & listen the deepest levels of emotions and sensations.

Shivaism Tantra will guide us to explore our inner world & transform these bodily experiences into a more profound awareness of ourselves and our environment. As the mind become calmer & focused, the flow of thoughts reduces, letting us hear what the outer distractions didn’t allow before, bringing together and harmonising inner realm and outer world, to live more intensely the present moment.

Beginners or advanced practitioners, this retreat will give you a deeper connection to yourself, refining your inner-cohesion, bringing your awareness of the flow of breath – and life – to a higher level.
