Ikara Retreat Centre Costa Rica
2nd till 8th June 2021
7 days, 6 nights, 5 days of Intensive Yoga.
Iyengar yoga, as taught by the Iyengar family, provides an opportunity for you to open the portal to self realisation, to your freedom. Alignment, timing and the art of sequencing aid and encourage the sadhaka, the practitioner, to turn inward during their practice.
This work potentiates the individual and facilitates a journey to the core of being, effecting all of the body’s compartments: Physical body, Physiological body, Emotional body, Breathing body and the Bliss body that combine the self. We experience decoding and rewiring, synchronizing and healing in the journey from the self, by the self, to selflessness.
This work is a tool that teaches awareness, the ability to be in observation, to be the watcher and to learn to understand who is within us, who we are becoming always. Observing your action, your non-action and re-actions. To learn and to understand the self in a deeper level of unity, understanding ones inextricably linked relationship with nature and being led to the oneness of self, to the place beyond time, and to become one with the ever creating, unified field of the unknowable.
A unique meditative approach using asana as a laboratory to observe how we are managing our life space and time here and now to align and to know ourselves.
Vaya, a meditator, teacher, a life coach, with over 25 years experience of teaching yoga. certified directly by B.K.S. Iyengar will hold this intensive.
