The Hridaya Yoga Retreat: Module 1 Intensive is addressed to people who want to explore the practice, theory, and philosophy of yoga in a supportive environment. The spiritual attitudes recommended in the yogic tradition emphasize witnessing and detaching from all psycho-mental challenges. However, they are not meant to diagnose, treat, or manage any mental health conditions. Therefore, this course is most beneficial for those in a stable emotional and psychological state.
We encourage people with a history of serious mental health conditions to honestly evaluate their current state of well-being before joining Module 1. The program is intense, which may not be suitable for everyone, especially those currently experiencing mental health challenges.
Hridaya teachers are trained to guide participants’ yoga and meditation practice and support their spiritual development. However, this support does not extend to individual mental health care. They are not mental health professionals, nor are they equipped to provide emergency psychological services or support for acute mental health conditions.
Please note that Module 1 is not intended to be a substitute for professional mental health treatment. Therefore, Hridaya and its teachers cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects, including the worsening of pre-existing mental health conditions, experienced during or after participation in the course.
If you are currently experiencing a severe mental health condition, we recommend seeking professional support and delaying participation in Module 1 until you feel more stable and supported in your mental health journey.
If you have concerns about your readiness for Module 1 due to past or current mental health issues, we encourage you to contact us in France or Mexico before registering. This will allow us to discuss whether this is the right time for you to participate or if it would be better for you to wait.
