Details of this retreat

This week is especially for Yoga practitioners who want to improve their technique. Suitable if you are doing yoga or have done yoga in the past. You do not need to be an expert to join this week.

You will be supported in holding the correct posture. You will receive guidance in finding suitable intermediate steps depending on your own capacity and limitations. Special attention will be paid to your body type and which asanas are suitable or not for you.

n this week you will learn Indian Classical Yoga. This is based on the Asanas as they are described in Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga was practiced by Yogis who practiced this within their own community throughout the day. The physical and mental state of the Hatha Yogis was different from ours, who are exposed to the burdens and rumors of contemporary society. In Indian Classical Yoga, the Asanas have been modified to a limited extent so that we still experience its benefits, but it does not pose any dangers to our physical well-being.

The Asana for the Advanced week is organized at Centre Lothlorien, a beautiful natural setting where relaxation comes naturally. In addition to the yoga classes, attention goes to a healthy daily routine and matching nutrition. Here Yoga is ‘A Way of Life’.
