Advanced Yoga Practices ~ 4-day online retreat
Mysticism in the yoga traditions
16th to 19th June 2022
Time zone - London U.K.
This retreat will be taking place online from Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th June 2022. To take part you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your phone or computer.
During the retreat we will look at the topic of mysticism in yoga. Mysticism, or “union with the divine” plays a strong part in many yogic teachings, from the writings of the Upanishads 3,000 years ago, to the modern day yoga.
We will especially look at the writings of the Upanishads, the writings of Paramahamsa Yogananda, Sri Anadamayi Ma, Mother Meera and St. Teresa of Avila.
We will also look at how to incorporate various pranayama practices into our sitting practices, to make the sittings more powerful and effective. This will include anuloma viloma, kapalbhati and heart breathing.
Mother Meera – Born 1960
Sri Anandamayi Ma 1896-1982
