Living in a Fountain of Ecstasy
This retreat will be taking place online from Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April 2025.
During the retreat we will look at various practices in yoga.
These will include:
- Mudras
- Bandhas
- Siddhasana
- The Nectar Cycle
- The production of amrita in the higher centres
- Fasting as a spiritual practice
We will especially look at these practices from the context of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, a 500-year old Sanskrit text that is sometimes referred to as “The bible of Hatha Yoga”. We will look at how these practices and processes in yoga can help to lead us towards liberation. There will not be any requirement to fast during the retreat. Teachings on fasting will be theory only.
All practice sessions will include asana practice, spinal breathing pranayama, mantra meditation and samyama. Full instructions for all practices will be given.
The retreat will be led in English. Class times are in London (UK) time. The classes on the retreat will not be recorded.
To take part, it is recommended to be in a quiet location, where you can focus on your spiritual practices over the two-days of the event.
The centre in Devon, England, where the retreat will be taught from.
“Raja Yoga will not be complete without Hatha, nor Hatha without Raja Yoga. Therefore practice the pair to perfection.” [Hatha Yoga Pradipika]
