Get a First Taste of Hridaya

Experience a transformative introduction to Hridaya in our Yoga and Meditation Discovery Weekend, designed for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. This immersive program provides a strong foundation in meditation and yoga, offering a deeper understanding of these practices.

You’ll practice Hridaya Hatha Yoga, a contemplative approach that stretches your body, relaxes your mind, and connects you to subtle energies. We’ll explain how each posture activates a corresponding chakra or “energy center,” and teach you how to open to universal energies, helping you connect with the core of your being—the Heart.

In addition, you’ll learn Hridaya Meditation, a method rooted in Self-Inquiry, where you explore the wonderment-question “Who am I?” This practice points you to your essence and helps you approach your thoughts, emotions, and sensations with equanimity and detachment.

We’ll also share practical tips for living with an open heart, guiding you in staying connected to your innermost Self. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be part of a supportive spiritual community that aspires to model purity of intention, integrity, and Love. Weekend retreats are shared in French in France, and English and Spanish in Mexico.

You’ll Learn:

  • Fundamental topics in yoga, including chakras, polarity, purification practices, and relaxation
  • Different approaches to meditation
  • Contemplative Hatha Yoga
