Prana Rejuvenation Retreat
March 27 - March 30
What ?
Prana is the universal life energy. Yoga is tuning body-mind-spirit to wholeness.
Through this 3 days program, Rejuvenate the body-mind-energy with conscious postures, breathing, movement & stillness. Tune the self to detox, build immunity, enhance sensitivity, perception, expand awareness, enrich self-healing and open to higher states of consciousness.
Modern times, people know how to recharge their mobile phones and even carry extra battery packs.
But, mastery of one’s own energy level is forgotten art and science.
Some people have more energy and don’t know how to use it and throw out in many unwise ways or sick/ out of tune with life and want to tune in.
Some people have blocked energy in body/mind/emotions and want to heal/ transform energy.
Some people are seeking to deepen the meaning of life and understanding how body-mind-energy functions in wholeness.
Some people are seeking to build vital immunity to protect and heal !

Do I need to know yogasana with flexilibility to learn this ?
If you are able to sit in one posture comfortable and stable, its good enough for prana yoga.
We will start with preparatory exercises to keep the body flexible and energy channels open before expanding further prana yoga practices. If you already have regular practice of yogasana or sports, it will be added advantage to go deeper.
Is it unnatural to control breath ?
Pranayama is not about controlling the breath but to observe, understand, support and enhance the natural process of breath and life energy.
With observation, we can find that breath and prana gets disturbed through our thoughts and emotions unconsciously and create toxins/ disease/ blocks in our system. Through Prana yoga practice, we become aware, help detox, unblock and support energy flow into natural states.
Is it safe practice ?
Yes, these are natural and safe practices. You will be guided with right information on when to use what and how much to use for advanced practices. It can be intense for body-mind-emotions-energy, suggest you not to have any other intense activities during these days.
Does it support my medical condition and treatment ?
Whatever medical condition or treatment someone is going through, prana yoga helps to enhance the energy levels and speeds up the healing process. Case by case, if anything not suitable will be explained.
