Ayurveda Immersion Retreat
At AyurYoga Eco-Ashram, Mysore-Kerala, South India

24 June to 08 July, 2013 

A two week program, with an option of choosing either one/two weeks as your time and budget permits. 
        
Time: 4 to 6 pm 

Tattva Shuddhi is an advanced practice which deals with the purification of the inner elements and subtle aspects of one's personality – working from the inside out!  According to Yogic science, every form of creation is formed and sustained by the five elements of Nature: Earth, water, fire, air and ether. These five elements influence the functioning of our body and mind.

Through a series of Yoga poses and meditation techniques, we will explore both the nature of each of the five elements and the source from which they arise, harmonizing our body-mind with the Universal body-mind or pure consciousness from which all the five elements were created and eventually merge.

Dates:  13 - 17 December, 2010
        
Time: 4 to 6 pm

When strain is put on an oak tree, it will break regardless of its' strength. Under the same strain, the bamboo tree cannot be destroyed or injured because it bends before the wind. In the same way, a back that is flexible and strong will remain healthy amidst the stress and strains of daily modern life.

In this workshop, we will practice a series of Yoga poses designed to tone and strengthen the back and keep the spine young and flexible. 'When the spine is flexible, all the Yoga poses are easier and more beneficial since there are thousands of nerves in the spine that affect every part of the body.
