Amrita Yoga
Yoga promotes the message of a healthy life, as well as inner and outer purity.
—Amma
“When you correct your inner vision through spiritual practices,
the already-waiting light of pure knowledge will dawn from within.

This is for intermediate to advanced practitioners aiming to refine and expand their Amrita Yoga Sadhana. At least two previous years of a regular asana and breathing practice are required.
The focus is deepening specific intermediate and advanced asanas by emphasizing the different stages for each asana and encouraging each participant to experience the asana at their own level. There will be improved physical strength and flexibility, mental equanimity, and enhanced awareness.
The intermediate practitioner develops a deeper understanding of the breath-body connection and the innate rhythm, integrates inner and outer alignment, and focuses on Amrita Yoga Sadhana from a new level of awareness.
Challenging postures are explored in-depth by emphasizing the different stages of each asana. Postures or asanas are taught in settings so that advanced beginners can do the initial stages and more advanced students can do the later stages. This awareness makes it possible to reach a state of unity that leads to a more profound inner journey and better expression of our true essence.
Examples of postures include Sirsasana, Bakasana, Ekahasta Bhujasana, Titthibasana, Mayurasana, and Svarga Dvijasana.
Practitioners are introduced to powerful devotional chants to the Goddess Durga.
Upon completing the retreat, participants will be familiar with ‘Durga Namaskarah,’ a reference sequence that can support their self-practice.
