Find balance, harmony, joy and discover beauty around you
Meaning and Practice of Yoga The idea of ‘doing something’ dominates our lives. Standing still and allowing life to happen seems opposite to the tasks and necessities we daily encounter. However, the high level of stress and anxiety that colours our modern society indicates that ‘doing’ requires an attitude that is rooted in what we are. Without this affirmation we feel disconnected. Yoga (Yoke) means connection. Life is not about a separate you doing something in a separate world. Life is about gradually opening up to the realisation that everything is sharing in One. And, that this ‘One’ is expressing itself through you. This realisation requires a way of living in which you are able to allow life itself to guide you towards its optimal state. Practising yoga can bring the sensitivity and certainty needed for this and thus empower you to shape life accordingly. Yoga is a physical way to open to a meditative state. Silence, solitude and a calm environment support this, which is why, in addition to yoga practise and meditation, being in silence during a retreat is highly recommended. Meditation Meditation means: doing nothing. During your stay it is possible to participate in the rhythm of three Asha meditations a day. In these meditations the actual period of silence is prepared with ancient shamanic techniques that are known to have a beneficial effect on calming the brain and bio-rhythm. There are two forms of the Asha meditation. In the first one a regular rhythm is maintained with a rattle, followed by silence. Prior to this, you will be given an introduction and a rattle to join in if you wish. In the second form they use a drum to bring you into a meditative state. In this meditation, the drum is also followed by silence. During the drumming you will not participate actively, but only listen. Quiet Down and Connect in Full Attention Yoga in combination with silence and meditation is a wonderful way to quieten down and to connect in full attention. It offers the opportunity to fully relax and experience a beneficial space in body and mind. If you long for inner peace and want to return with more clarity, this yoga retreat is for you. The first yoga class is always the morning after the day of arrival in order for you to arrive in a calm manner. The program ends on the last day with the Asha Meditation at 10 am.
