Excursion Overview
February 19 – March 3, 2023
This immersion is a perfect blend of study and practice. The focal point of this retreat is to discover deeper aspects of hatha yoga — asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, visualization, and relaxation techniques and their role in awakening the dormant forces of chakras and kundalini shakti. This immersion is particularly geared toward deepening our meditation and taking our spiritual journey to a new height. In effect, it is a tantrically driven retreat, which means each lecture and workshop must contribute to the awakening, collection, and assimilation of prana shakti; and employing prana shakti to intensify our meditative experience.Major themes of study and practice include:
- Essence of Vishoka Meditation
- Distinctive Features of Tantra Yoga
- Tantric Understanding of the Human Body and Unique Powers and Privileges Hidden in It
