Drawing from these two traditions, the Path of Yoga Retreat offers students the tools for positive body-mind transformation, and insight into how to integrate their experience into their post-retreat lives. Students learn to work with sequenced poses and pranayama (manipulation of subtle neural energies with breath) as a way to make the body stronger and lighter, the nervous system more toned, and the mind calm and settled. This mode of practice naturally gives rise to contemplative insight and awareness, a state where actual transformation takes place. ——————————————————— Peace | Illustration by Fariba Azma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61793f55b826c159b6f09122/c3422b81-8710-4862-9f44-2a8ce55e61f3/IMG_0701.jpg The Path of Yoga Retreat - yoga nidra At the end of each day, Omid will lead yoga nidra sessions (except for the departure day). Yoga nidra, is not just a deep relaxation. It is rather a conscious relaxation. It allows us to access delta brainwaves, which are responsible for the healing and restoration that happens in our bodies during deep sleep. Activating delta brainwaves during yoga nidra allows our minds and bodies to rest while we're awake and fully conscious. We will experience a state of blissful awareness, effortlessly – melting away stress and tension. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61793f55b826c159b6f09122/85233487-8ab1-4586-aafd-b7f37400713f/IMG_0529.jpg The Path of Yoga Retreat - talks on yoga philosophy and history Yoga is called the “inner science” because working with the physical body and the breath together makes possible awareness of our inner world of subtle emotions, motivations, and self-image. Gaining this kind of self knowledge and sensitivity is said to be the main goal of yoga, where it becomes possible to leave behind addictions and fears, craving and dislikes, and to embrace your best self. On the basis of such self awareness there is no limit to our healing and growth. Drawing on scholarly expertise and practical experience, John will lecture on a range of topics related to the nature and history of yoga. He will also address key questions concerning the purpose and goals of yoga practice, such as how to integrate yoga experience into the rest of life, and through yoga how to achieve maximum benefit for myself and for others. ——————————————————— Growth | Illustration by Fariba Azma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61793f55b826c159b6f09122/cf22d493-33cc-41e4-9835-0733675a7f75/IMG_0570.jpg The Path of Yoga Retreat - hiking in Les Gorges du Verdon The retreat setting is in the glorious Monastère de Ségriès set in the incomparable beauty of Les Gorges du Verdon nature preserve.
