You are invited with us on a unique and fully guided journey to the home of Satyananda Yoga®, for inspiring yoga retreats in India. Join us for this very authentic experience of traditional yoga and ashram life that will touch your heart.
The World Yoga Convention (WYC) in Munger is a highlight for 2013 and we will be leading three groups from Kolkata for this auspicious event. Firstly, a dedicated group will participate in seva (selfless service), helping with all the preparations for the WYC. The second group will travel to Rikhia for the in depth Chakra Sadhana Retreat (using chakra focus during asana, pranayama, meditation and theory sessions) then travel on to Munger for WYC. The third group will travel direct to Munger for WYC and then travel on to Rikhia for the Prana Vidya Retreat (a system to realise and expand prana for healing and spiritual awakening). Following on from the WYC, the Prana Vidya Retreat is available on all three options.
This will be an enriching and transformational experience that will give you an opportunity to find greater depth and understanding of yourself and your practice, irrespective of your level of experience. See below for more information about the retreats and the packages available.
