The spiritual dimension is seen by
Dr Shrikrishna, Dr Krishnamurthy and the Yoga Biomedical Trust as vital to the advanced
practice of yoga therapy. The programmes are based on the unique blend of guided pranayama
practice, lectures and discussion on yoga philosophy, meditation and quiet, which we have
developed in our previous Retreats. Our retreats aim
to provide participants with the best possible opportunity to cultivate and deepen
personal awareness and inner silence. Please come prepared to give the work demanded by
this aim your full attention.
The Retreats should not be viewed as an opportunity for a
student's own academic study, nor as a relaxed vacation. Instead, come prepared to enjoy
the gradually increasing period of SILENCE, exploring in a playful way how to carry out
the day's work - without speaking. Learn to use this freedom from incessant talking to
develop MINDFULNESS.
Many of the Pranayama and Meditation techniques require
sitting. You should have some prior experience of sitting quietly for periods of at least
20-30 minutes. |
