Amrita Yoga Retreats at Amritapuri
Amrita Yoga retreats, workshops, and classes at Amma’s Amritapuri Ashram in India offer a unique opportunity to study yoga intensively through four-day, five-day, nine-day, or two-week courses for different levels of practice. The schedule also includes bhajana and archana as part of bhakti yoga, seva as karma yoga, and satsanga or yoga talks by devotees and disciples as jnana yoga. Participants are immersed in ashram life for their spiritual benefit and upliftment.
Retreats are offered to suit a diverse range of abilities and interests in yoga. Those already practicing asana and looking for intermediate instruction can find a good match with the Intermediate retreats. We offer a Two-Week Immersion Retreat for experienced beginners to intermediate participants, while those new to yoga and looking to start a practice can find suitable options in the Foundation and Beginner retreats.
This past August, we held the first nine-day Kali Namaskarah Intermediate Retreat, creating excitement for the yoga enthusiasts in the ashram. About 45 participants learned the new Kali Namaskarah sequence, contributed to group seva projects, and participated in exclusive devotional singing with great sincerity.
We are also happy to announce a new Shiva Shakti Therapeutic Workshop for Holistic Living, starting in January 2015 at Amritapuri, India. This five-day workshop uses the ancient science of yoga to enhance health and wellness at all levels of the person: physical, emotional, and spiritual. It is an excellent choice for those who need something gentle yet effective to bring the body into balance and reduce stress. It is suitable for all ages and all levels of yoga practice, including beginners.
