Costa Rica

Chakras~ The psychology of Yoga

May 21st-28th 2012

Costa Rica is the perfect setting to take you on this journey into the depths of who you are, emerging as the essence of your infinite potential.

Each day you will be guided through one of the seven chakras, using Asana, meditation, visualization, creative expression, sound, and movement; exploring the different paradigms of existence that are available to you in each moment. Enjoy morning and evening yoga classes that facilitate an exploration of your true Self as well as an afternoon workshop that fascilitates a deeper understanding of the chakra system.

Spend your afternoons exploring the diversity of this magical land; schedule a massage or an excursion, rest, relax, and rejuvenate. Delicious vegetarian cuisine will tantalize your taste buds and nourish body, mind and spirit.
This week long intensive Sadhana practice is a special opportunity to journey though the chakras and deepen your spiritual understanding and experiential knowledge of the energetic body.

Experienced teachers create a sacred space for trainees to study the chakra system both theoretically and experientially. This exploration of the chakras is, for many practitioners, a vital step in advancing ones personal practice and enables individuals to include a deeper knowledge of the subtle body when sharing their practice with others.
Everyday we will work with one chakra, utilizing a variety of practices to deepen our understanding of the energies contained in each particular chakra.

"Overall,coming to this retreat has been a life tranformative experience to awaken my dormant soul. I have been able to realize that I am indeed amazing and wonderful. An immersion experience such as this retreat gave me an incredible opportunity to look deep within, this is somthing that books and lectures fail to offer which makes self realization difficult in a busy lifestyle."
