The Yoga

  • Deep Meditation
  • Spinal Breathing Pranayama
  • Samyama
  • Mudras and bhandas
  • Asana
  • Self inquiry

The focus of the retreat will be on the cultivation of inner silence through meditation, Self-inquiry practice (Jnana Yoga) and the cultivation of the witness. We will also be looking at the process of purification of the subtle energy channels produced by pranayama.

There will be asana, pranayama and meditation sessions every morning and afternoon, and time for satsang (the philosophy of yoga) in the evenings.

There will also be free time each day for swimming, snorkelling, sun bathing and exploring the island.

None of the yoga or meditation sessions will be compulsory,  so everyone can take the retreat at their own pace.  All instruction and teachings will be given in English.
