Yoga is defined as a process of binding. Therefore it is a process of physical and mental bridging and to impart this knowledge accurately, the students physical position needs to be one in direct physical relationship with the teacher.
Yoga occurs and therefore you become where the physical is unified with the non physical. Once we are aligned, we share our alignment with others. Whilst on-line learning has become a method of convenient practice, it also represents a step further removed from a natural physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual interaction between the student and teacher. We have magnetic fields. Our language is not just ,mere sounds generating syllables, it has a sonic resonance. The teacher being able to see the student brings accurate alignment and understanding to the practitioner so they can begin the mind and body bridging process. Yoga is humanity and in a world fast trending towards artificial experience we feel it is imperative that individuals have the opportunity to maintain the physical tactile association with their own bodies and others. based on our deep philosophical values and our dedication to yogic science we are prepared to gift an individual with individualized attention at the price of a group retreat. This is to demonstrate the non-material interaction that is required between student and teacher for developing understanding of what yoga was always intended to be. Undivided intention in wholeness through perseverance of observation. In our time today, there exists no better time to become stronger as an individual so that people can once again be together - welcome to your retreat. |

LOCATION and ACCOMMODATION
This retreat will be held at Ikara Retreat Centre. Ikara is located high in the hills above the small town of Portalon. It is a boutique retreat centre that is quiet and secluded. Situated outside of an authentic Tico village, a true Costa Rican experience awaits. Our retreat centre has a purpose built yoga deck overlooking the ocean. A pool to cool off in and manicured gardens to explore. Growing on the property we have bananas, aguacate (avocados), pipas (coconuts), jengibre (ginger), mazana (apples) and more. The centre is quiet and as a result we have regular animal visitors to the property. Everyday we see colibri (hummingbirds), tolomuco (tayra), pezote (white nosed coati), mariposas (butterflys) and a wealth of frogs, amphibians, monkeys and lizards. There are sloths and wild cats (ocelot, jaguar, puma and margay) but they are all elusive. |
