Yoga Chikitsa affords us so many pathways to healing

- It teaches:

• simple methods to re-energise, heal and restore the physical body

• simple means to activate and potentise our energetic body responsible for the health and function of our physical body and minds such as pranayama

• simple means to harness the power of the mind and address habits and tendencies that rob us of energy, focus and contentment

• Simple means to reacquaint the mind with its natural state of calm and clear perception- such as yoga nidra, special contemplations and meditation

These practices are so important, especially in our unbalanced world. The knowledge that guides the practice is vital and life affirming.

Yoga is not only postural, or for only the external layers of skin, muscle and bone. It is intended to work much deeper than that. It has the capacity to influence healing of physiological function and psychological imbalance. It can also cause us to reorient our compass to better align to internal strength and toward the essential purpose of life.

Shantarasa Yoga specialises in traditional yoga, its transformative practice and practical philosophy. The Shantarasa founders and senior teachers each draw from nearly 50 years of study, practice and teaching and the benefit of having received direct training from adept traditional teachers, masters, and scholars for decades.

For all this time they have been training practitioners and teachers in the path of yoga. Today, perhaps more than ever, the need for a powerful, effective and accessible healing approach to practice is essential.

These retreats are unique and will transfer to you both skills and experience that will be lasting and powerful.
