*** This is the 1st half of the retreat. The 2nd part will be published soon

In an age where the pace of life seems to accelerate with each passing day, many of us find ourselves trapped in a cycle of stress, anxiety, and disconnection. Our minds are cluttered with endless to-do lists, our bodies tense with the strain of constant demands, and our spirits dulled by the noise of modern life. We yearn for a pause, a space to breathe, to reconnect with our inner selves, and to find clarity amidst the chaos. Yet, the path to such tranquility and self-discovery often seems just out of reach.

Introducing “The Essence of Yoga” retreat—a sanctuary where the ancient wisdom of yoga illuminates the path to inner peace, health, and profound self-awareness.

Yoga means “Union”. The asanas known from Hatha Yoga are just one component of a holistic system of spiritual enlightenment. Yoga is the art of stilling the mind in order to facilitate self-realisation.

This retreat offers a unique opportunity to step away from the noise and demands of daily life, inviting you into a world where the mind quiets, the body revitalizes, and the spirit awakens.

This is the invitation of the Essence of Yoga Retreat with Shai Tubali, Ph.D.

The Supreme Yoga

A Complete Path to Enlightenment

Who are you behind your to-do’s, your social mask, and your collected memories?

Yoga, or union, is the cessation of the movements of the thinking mind for the time being in order to feel “who am I”. Yoga is the art of stilling the mind in order to facilitate self-realisation. In this sense, we will dive into supreme yoga. Based on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, we are moving along the different levels of yoga, from the supreme yoga, which will be explicated and illuminated through the morning discourse. We will practice Hatha Yoga to bring the body back into balance. Pranayama is to unify body and mind through breathing techniques.

Another essential element is our daily Kriya yoga. Kriya yoga is the secret Kundalini teachings that enable us, through visualisations of the subtle body and the chakras, forms of breathing, mantras, and physical positions, to powerfully stimulate and awaken the spiritual force of Kundalini.

In this sense, we are turning yoga into a living practice, encompassing all aspects of our being, aimed at self-realisation and Kundalini awakening. It is, however, not intended for advanced learners. This retreat is suitable for beginners and can be a fresh start to an awakened life.
