Workshops Presented at this retreat

Craig will be presenting a workshop on Prana & Pranayam.

He says: Dear retreat yogis,  One of the workshops as well as an overall practise that we are offering on this upcoming Springbrook Yoga retreat is the subtle techniques of  pranayam breathing. Just as the currents of wind move about the earth mostly unnoticed, so too does the natural occurrence of our breath flow through you. And ,in nature, the observance of the winds currents, strength, direction and force can tell us a lot about what is happening with the weather and  why. So too, when we observe the flow of breath and energy in our body we can understand our health and bring healing. The great yogis and ancient seers have said, that which is in the Greater Cosmos is also within us.

Come explore your inner Cosmos and gain a greater understanding of your inner mind, emotions and general wellbeing through the observation and control of your breath. You do not need to be an experienced yogi to take part. You only need the enthusiasm and willingness to explore.

Sita will be presenting a session on Yoga Philosophy and the Science of Relaxation & Meditation, we will especially be exploring Yoga Nidra, the sleep of the yogis that brings relaxation, deep rest and a clearing of consciousness .
