India is a sacred land where life is punctuated by rituals. In Karnataka, as everywhere in the country, the spiritual vibrations seem to emanate from the earth, we feel them everywhere, in nature, in the streets, in the eyes of people and of course in the countless temples. Nothing like an immersion in this enchanted world to awaken our joie de vivre.
21 DAYS OF DETOX & SIVANANDA YOGA IN SOUTH INDIA
Our intensive program begins with “Virechana”, an Ayurvedic detox supported by the practice of yoga of Sivananda which includes asanas (yoga posture), meditation, chanting and spiritual teachings. It is a good way to cleanse yourself physically, emotionally and mentally. After three weeks, you won’t be quite the same person. New energy, new habits, new perspectives. You have lost a few pounds of toxins, your eyes are brighter, your mind clearer and your thoughts more positive. All you have to do is cultivate on your return home what you will have received during the retreat.
Why attending a retreat with us?
Because we have organized in five years more than 250 yoga and meditation retreats in India and Canada. We have set up a resourcing program that has proven its worth. Our retreats in India are known to be a source of both physical and spiritual benefits because our approach is holistic.
Group discipline facilitates practice and progress. What you could not accomplish alone, you will do easily during these three weeks. Like for example doing a Virechana while remaining active and continuing to interact with others. You will be amazed to discover such a source of energy within yourself.
Yoga level: beginner and intermediate.
Teachings given in French and English.
Program for information only. Not mentioned are some local outings that will be organized as the retreat progresses. Also count in addition three workshops which will be given on certain afternoons not yet specified:
“The little anthropology lesson” leads to a reflection on the encounter with India and will give you some tools to make the most of this experience.
“Initiation to Hinduism” presents the history of Hinduism, its characteristics and currents of thought. This will give you landmarks when you visit the temples.
“Sivananda Yoga” presents Sivananda’s yoga of synthesis. The workshop will allow you to better understand our approach and how we came to organize retreats in India.
