Immersion into the World of Yoga Sadhana

IMMERSION INTO THE WORLD OF YOGA SĀDHANA

A two week intensive yoga retreat with Hali Schwartz and Kathryn Beet on the sandy beaches of Goa, India
December 28, 2018 – January 13, 2019 (including 2 nights in Mumbai)

The Yoga:

This exceptional yoga retreat, will take us deeply into our yoga practice on the magnificent shores of Goa, India! For the 14 days that we will commune at this extraordinary retreat center on Morjim beach, perched on the warm Indian Ocean, we will immerse ourselves in all aspects of yoga sādhana for 6 days a week, with 1 day off on the 7th day of each of the two weeks. Our 2.5 hour morning practice will be comprised of āsana, prānāyām, and meditation, while our evening practice of the same duration will be comprised of restorative yoga, yoga philosophy, chanting and meditation.

Hali and Kathryn will draw upon their decades of experience in both teaching and practicing yoga, to offer you a complete immersion into your own practice that will draw upon both ancient and contemporary lineages as well diving into to the philosophic teachings of jnāna, karma, bhakti, and rāja yoga. All of these aspects of yoga sādhana are for the same ultimate purpose: to bring about a sense of lightness and balance of body; for the fostering of a clear, and calmly focused mind, and finally, to bring us to a fuller and more profound understanding of ourselves, and the world in which we live.

The Venue:

Devarya Wellness Centre and Healing Space is a peaceful yoga retreat center on Morjim beach in North Goa that is set on a long stretch of sandy beach, close to the charming fishing village of the same name. Devarya is surrounded by the sublime, abundant and captivating natural beauty of Goan life and culture.

“Devarya Wellness is not just a yoga center. It is a healing space that has been designed to guide you on a spiritual path to self discovery. Devarya which translates into Divine Belief, (in Sanskrit), comes from the names of the founder’s children – Dev & Arya – and the entire space reflects a childlike purity. Redefining the experience of a yoga retreat, Devarya Wellness is an oasis of peace where guests can detoxify and cleanse, relax and enjoy the pure magic of yoga in a natural environment.”

All of the en-suite rooms that we will be staying in at Devarya, are named after the chakras. Each Chakra Suite is unique and all of them have their own flair of unassuming, and charming luxury.

Devarya offers two sumptuous vegetarian meals per day – brunch, which is served after morning yoga, and dinner, after evening yoga. Coffee, tea, water and fruit are available throughout the day.
