In the Himalayan retreat program, you will learn a combination of different healing techniques that appeared in sacred books of various religions. Our experienced Yoga teachers will help you with valuable personalized advice and recommendations that you can follow in your daily routine and reap the benefits that Yoga and meditation have to offer. Below is what you’ll gain knowledge on:

• Hatha Yoga: You will get an introduction and knowledge of what is Hatha Yoga, and how it is to be performed. Hatha Yoga means “union through discipline of force”, that stresses mastery of the body and the breath, as a way of attaining a state of spiritual perfection, in which the mind is withdrawn from external objects. 
• Vinyasa Yoga:This is the second main pillar of Yoga and is the arrangements and sequencing of Yoga poses. Vinyasa Yoga means “arranging something in a special way”. In Vinyasa Yoga classes, you will coordinate movement with the breath to flow from one pose to the next.
• Meditation & Relaxation:Meditation starts when distractions end. The feeling of ease is the vital cog for meditation and we will teach you how to prepare your mind and body for meditation. You will learn how to stabilize your meditation posture, deepen your conscience and explore deep relaxation. 
• Yoga Philosophy:Get introduced to the dualist philosophy, which is working with two fundamental realities: purusha, meaning "pure consciousness," and prakriti, meaning "matter." You will learn the origins and principles of the different schools of Yoga and get some background knowledge on the practices you will be performing to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the same
