Weekend Yoga Retreat in Kangaroo Valley with Rachel Zinman

Description

Take time out and join me on retreat at the lovely Avrajita retreat centre in the Kangaroo Valley, NSW and explore one of the most sacred mantras in yoga through the practices of Asana, Pranayama, Mantra, Mudra and Yantra  The Gayatri mantra had been chanted for thousands of years to honor the divine light of the sun as it glows within us and is said to have both transformative and healing powers. Referred to as "the Mother of the Vedas" by the yogic sages, The practice of Gayatri is said to develop wisdom, cultivate inner strength and promote peace and well-being.  In Tantra, a full Gayatri practice includes Mantra- in both long and short forms, Mudra-  hand gestures, which balance and bring energy to the body and Yantra- geometrical patterns, which calm the mind. In this retreat I will share my personal understanding and experience of the Gayatri practice in a fun, physical, informative and creative format.
