Outside of these retreat stays\, there is also the opportunity to participate fully in ashram life through Seva stay during the Yajnas. \nDates: 24 October – 8 November 14 Nights \nIncludes: Prana Vidya Retreat and Diwali celebration. \nemail indiaretreat@anahata-retreat.org.nz \n \nYour journey begins in Kolkata\, where you will be greeted by an Anahata representative. After a day of resting\, we travel together to Rikhia in time for Diwali the Festival of Light\, (27 October). Diwali is an opportunity to connect with the inner luminosity and experience the joy of India aglow with thousands of flickering lights. Here you will participate in the festival alongside guests and ashram residents. \nPrior to the start of the Prana Vidya retreat\, you will have the chance to integrate into the daily ashram activities which includes Karma Yoga and may include kirtan\, chanting or other programs alongside the ashram residents. \nTake your practice and understanding of the Pranic body deeper by participating in the Prana Vidya Retreat (1-7th November). Prana (energy) Vidya (knowledge) is an ancient and powerful meditation that deals with the system of prana for healing and spiritual awakening. Knowledge of Prana is knowledge of the universe. Everything moves because of Prana\, it is source\, means and destination. \nDuring this 7-day course you will be introduced to the pranic system through daily asana\, pranayama\, mudra\, bandha and Prana Vidya meditation sessions\, including practical techniques for awakening the fields of energy present in the human structure. \nThroughout your daily theory sessions\, you will deepen your knowledge of this vital life force\, discovering how the aspects of prana within the physical body and through regular sadhana can help you to develop the sensitivity required to feel and experience the nature of prana as a living flow of energy within one self. And how it can be directed to improve health and vitality. \nPlease enquire if interested to stay on for seva or the yajnas. \n\nEvolving through the Chakras and Tools of Tantra Retreat\nIf these dates are not suitable for your schedule\, we are also running an earlier retreat to India and the Rikhiapeeth ashram.

He spent 10 years living the yogic lifestyle and teaching yoga\, meditation and chanting at Anahata Yoga Retreat. Now back in NZ\, Chris works therapeutically in Rimutaka prison and mental health sectors and continues to share on a variety different topics in workshops and weekend retreats around New Zealand.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4502″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Sannyasi Priyadhara first came to yoga in her youth and was eventually drawn to the teachings of the Satyananda-Bihar tradition at Anahata Yoga Retreat. A yearning to deepen her experience and understanding of yoga led her to live and receive training under the guidance of Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati at the Bihar School of Yoga in India for a period of her life. The opportunity to imbibe yoga not only as an integral science but as a way of life & culture was a life-changing experience which today inspires Priyadhara to work with people of all ages and walks of life who seek to connect with positivity\, find balance in life and express true potential from within.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nExplore Other Retreats & Events\n[/vc_column_text]6-week ONLINE Nervous System Reset CourseHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatJanuary 15\, 2026 @ 10:00 am - February 26\, 2026 @ 11:30 amLovefest 2026 – Golden Bay with Swami Karma KarunaHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatFebruary 13\, 2026 - February 15\, 2026Embracing Menopause GB 3.0 … from pause to powerHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatMarch 1\, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pmView All Retreats and Events [/vc_column][/vc_row]
