A lifestyle retreat can be for 4 to 7 days. These more personal retreats are a great way to focus on the practical application of yoga with some philosophy and a quiet time for cultivating inner understanding and contentment.

Each Practical Intensive has a special and specific theme to follow and explore. Asana, breathing techniques, yoga nidra – relaxation and meditation are woven into the daily routine to create strength, flexibility and the importance of becoming the witness to present reactions and responses.

The mornings begin with yoga postures followed by mid morning group discussions around the theme of the retreat. The themes vary so you can come for more than one intensive throughout the year. The concepts are practical and very accessible for integration as tools of awareness and personal development. Yogic concepts then become the tool and a path of exploration and expansion of ones personality in daily life.

“Yoga takes us one step beyond (emotions and feelings), by making us aware of the other aspects of our personality, which comprise the qualities of head, heart and hands. Yoga and meditation give us a greater understanding of how to act and how to stop the process of continuous reaction.”

Swami Niranjanananda
