Get a Taste of Hridaya Yoga
For a first taste of the Hridaya Yoga teachings, look no further than this meditation and yoga weekend retreat. Ideal for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, this program provides a firm foundation for your practice. It is an immersive, fascinating journey covering the essential aspects of meditation and yoga.
During the weekend, you’ll experience Hridaya Hatha Yoga. Our contemplative approach not only stretches your body and relaxes your mind but leads you to an understanding of subtle energies.
We explain how each posture activates a corresponding chakra (energy center) and teach you how to open to universal energies and to connect with the core of your being, the Heart.
You’ll also learn Hridaya Meditation. This method is based on Self-Inquiry, the practice of asking “Who am I?” and being attentive to what arises. This question points you to your essence and allows you to contemplate sensations, emotions, and thoughts from a space of equanimity and detachment. In that space, you’ll find freedom.
As you’ll want to infuse your life with this wisdom, we’ll share tips for living with an Open Heart, a way to stay connected to your innermost Self. Rounding out your meditation and yoga weekend retreat experience, you’ll get to enjoy being in a welcoming spiritual community that models purity of intention, integrity, and Love.
We offer meditation and yoga weekend retreats in French at our center in France and Spanish at our center in Mexico.
You’ll Learn:
- Fundamental topics in yoga, including chakras, polarity, purification practices, and relaxation
- An introduction to different approaches to meditation
- The practice of contemplative Hatha Yoga
Each Yoga and Meditation Discovery Weekend Features:
- Hridaya Meditation sessions
- Hridaya Hatha Yoga classes led by experienced teachers
