They are a framework to understand your physical health and challenges\, the nervous system\, energy levels\, mental well-being\, emotional states and more subtle layers of existence. The flow or block within your chakras and energy channels determine many aspects of life. \nExplore the traditional symbology\, glands\, physical components\, psychology\, mantras\, animal representations\, states of health or blockage and more about each chakra.

SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]\nIn-person 16 day residential at Anahata Yoga Retreat\, Golden Bay\, New Zealand. Followed by a 3-month online training package. A total of 150 hours covering theory\, applications & learning to instruct Yoga Nidra\, Basic Breathing Methods & Restorative Yoga. All-inclusive of training sessions\, a comprehensive manual\, online content\, food & accommodation. \n \n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/291806729″][vc_column_text]\n\n \nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A professional development course for yoga teachers\, health and education professionals and those interested in guiding relaxation techniques. Explore tools to assist in the release of deep muscular\, mental and emotional tension\, inducing calmness and clarity for a range of life and health situations. \nYoga Nidra\, Restorative Yoga and breathing techniques will be explored from practical\, scientific\, psychological and lifestyle perspectives. Learn teaching tools to effectively share a range of relaxation practices for differing client needs\, including therapeutic applications. \nDelve into each stage of Yoga Nidra including history\, symbology and use of sankalpa or positive intention. Investigate the relaxation response\, the Vagus Nerve\, building resilience\, sleep hygiene \, diaphragmatic breath\, pratyahara and relevant yogic theory\, mindfulness\, props\, principles of care\, creative teaching\, course and class planning\, client support and so much more! \nYoga Nidra \nYoga Nidra is a profound\, yet simple\, practice that encourages the mind to let go of the external world and turn inwards\, giving the senses a deep rest from the activities of contemporary society. The mind is gradually trained to connect into tranquility effortlessly. Ultimately the practice works on the mind to release impressions from the past and anxieties about the future. It helps us to retrain the nervous system and create new neural pathways that support the relaxation response. Yoga Nidra is a powerful tool to enable the parasympathetic nervous system and enhance deep sleep\, thus supporting health and well-being at many levels.= \nDiaphragmatic Breathing \nWhen we have the ability to alter the breath at will\, we are nourishing and optimising many bodily functions while managing the mind and emotions. Different basic breathing methods will be explored with the aim of developing the diaphragmatic breath\, which is one of the fastest ways to influence the vagus nerve\, responsible for turning on the relaxation response in order to help the body restore itself after states of stress. It is also an important factor in healthy digestion\, influencing gut health\, the microbiome connected to the immune system and important neurotransmitters such as serotonin. \nRestorative Yoga \nRestorative Yoga will be explored using the Pawanmuktasana Joint series\, which brings both the body and mind into a harmonious state\, supporting the flow of prana in the system and restoration. Other postures specific to supporting the relaxation response will also be examined in relation to adrenal glands\, breath connection and mindfulness. We will also delve into a more classical understanding of Restorative Yoga\, regarding props and extended time periods in supported postures. Restorative Yoga has been shown to support the dismantling of chronic tension patterns\, enhanced immune function and effective cellular respiration. It has also proven to reduce hypertension and mental and emotional stress to facilitate more homeostasis in the body-mind structure\, returning it to a natural state of ease and equilibrium. \nRequest an info booklet: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz\n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8274″][vc_column_text]\n\n \nThis Training is Designed for…\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nYoga Practitioners who want to delve deeper in their personal practice and learn how to manage stress effectively.\nYoga Teachers who want to develop new skills and deepen their understanding of yogic concepts and lifestyle.\nHealth Professionals who are looking for effective tools to support clients. \n\nMedical and health professionals\, psychiatrists\, psychotherapists and yoga teachers are using these practices in a variety of settings including schools\, offices\, community centres\, drug and alcohol rehabilitation\, prisons and nursing homes.

SUMMARY:Power of Awareness Silent Meditation Gathering
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]This 6-day meditation gathering with Swami Anandakumar & Swami Kailash provides an opportunity to travel to your own centre\, to find the stillness within\, discover that your own inner nature is unchanging and connect to your higher source. \nThe gathering offers the unique opportunity to explore tools that will help you to truly find peace\, happiness\, clarity\, perspective on the whole of life and spiritual transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8529″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]This silent meditation gathering offers a unique chance for you to go into a space of silence to begin or deepen your meditation practice depending on your previous experience. Let your mind rest and enjoy a different\, deeper kind of reflection and relaxation that will leave you wiser\, and more ready for the challenges of life. Whilst Power of Awareness can be attended as a stand-alone gathering\, we highly recommend attending our Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi Gathering to prepare the body\, mind and energy to go deeper into meditation. If you choose to book both the Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi & Power of Awareness Gatherings as a package\, you will receive one free night of meals and accommodation in between the two gatherings \n\n\n\nRenowned meditation teacher\, Swami Anandakumar\, takes a fresh and direct approach to meditation which is effective for both the beginner and advanced practitioner. The combination of ancient yoga techniques with well-timed\, intuitive guidance\, aimed at the modern mind\, helps each person to find their way to deeper levels of awareness through access to their own intuitive experience. \nThese meditation practices will be balanced with Hatha Yoga\, Yoga Nidra\, Karma Yoga\, Kirtan and Havan (fire ceremony) to actively encourage a self-explorative approach to meditation and provide a gentle way to balance the mind and realign the awareness toward your own inner nature. \nWith more than 35 years experience Sw. Anandakumar helps to bring harmony to meditation practice\, outlining a working ‘road map’ in order to harmonise any conflict with the body-mind and find your way forward. This allows your meditation practice to come from a place of inspiration rather than a feeling of obligation\, which is uplifting even as you begin to face up to yourself.

The ancient practices of Pranayama\, and Meditation from Tantric Hatha Yoga. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8394″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\nNassib is as sound engineer graduate and avid multi-instrumentalist\, with over a decade of practice and research in ethnomusicology and sound therapy.

Literally it means ‘the great night of Shiva\,’ a night in which we honour Shiva\, considered the first yogi and the embodiment of high consciousness. \nThere are many legends associated with this festival; it is said to be the day when Lord Shiva drank poison\, representing negativity\, in order to protect the world. However\, instead of killing him\, he was able to absorb the poison and integrate it\, symbolizing facing the ups and downs of life without being influenced. \nMaha Shivaratri also marks the union between Lord Shiva and the goddess Parvati\, the meeting of Shiva (consciousness) and Shakti (energy). \nCelebrated each year on the 4th night of the new moon\, during Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Phalgun\, which falls around the months of February or March. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Maha Shivaratri celebration will start at 5pm with Havan\, Abishek and Kirtan. Havan is an ancient fire ceremony from the ancient Indian Vedic tradition where we use mantra and fire for means of transformation. \nKirtan is a joyful and uplifting mantra practice that originates from the Bhakti yoga tradition. In Kirtan we sing the mantra in call and response\, it is a practice that brings connection to our hearts and to the present moment through sound. \nAt 6.30pm\, the program will conclude with a delicious vegetarian meal. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to come together as a community on this special evening of Maha Shivaratri to uplift and raise the vibration within us and around us. \nPlease RSVP before 12pm Saturday \nPhone: +64(3)525-9887\nE-mail: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nExplore other yoga retreats and events\n[/vc_column_text]NAVARATRI: Celebration of the 9 Nights of the GoddessOctober 10\, 2023Anahata Yoga Retreat celebrates the Hindu festival of Navaratri: the 9 Nights of the Goddess: Durga and incarnations of Lakshmi… Read moreSilent Meditation Gathering ReflectionsAugust 18\, 2021 Here at Anahata\, we are honored that Swami Anandakumar has returned to stay for some extra weeks unexpectedly.

SUMMARY:Maha Shivaratri Celebration
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nEvent Overview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nJoin us at this auspicious time of Maha Shivaratri for a special evening of celebration.\n \nJoin us for:\n• 60 minute Hatha Yoga Class\n• Havan and Kirtan ( joyful chanting and singing)\n• Vegetarian Meal \nOnly $25 \nSee below for full details. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4004″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Maha Shivaratri is one of the most celebrated and sacred festivals in India. Literally it means ‘the great night of Shiva\,’ a night in which we honour Lord Shiva. Considered in the Yogic tradition as the Adi Guru\, the first teacher from whom the yogic tradition originates. \nThere are many legends associated with this festival; it is said to be the day when Lord Shiva drank poison that came out of the ocean in order to protect the world. However\, the poison did not kill him\, it remained in his neck and turned his neck blue. \nMaha Shivaratri marks the union between Lord Shiva and the goddess Parvati\, the meeting of Shiva (consciousness) and Shakti (energy). \nCelebrated each year on the 4th night of the new moon\, during Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Phalgun\, which falls around the months of February or March. \nIt is a time when the planetary alignment and position are of the highest natural energy\, which makes this an auspicious time for spiritual practice.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Maha Shivaratri celebration will start at 4pm with a 60-minute Hatha Yoga asana and Pranayama (breathing practices) class. The class is suitable for all levels of experience\, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. \nThe class will be followed at 5.15pm by Havan and Kirtan. Havan is an ancient fire ceremony from the ancient Indian Vedic tradition where we use mantra and fire for means of transformation. \nKirtan is a joyful and uplifting mantra practice that originates from the Bhakti yoga tradition. In Kirtan we sing the mantra in call and response\, it is a practice that brings connection to our hearts and to the present moment through sound. \nAt 6.30pm\, the program will conclude with a delicious vegetarian meal. \n \nDon’t miss this opportunity to come together as a community on this special evening of Maha Shivaratri to uplift and raise the vibration within us and around us. \n \nPlease RSVP before 1pm on Monday 4th March\, 2019 \nPhone: +64(3)525-9887\nE-mail: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nExplore other yoga retreats and events\n[/vc_column_text]NAVARATRI: Celebration of the 9 Nights of the GoddessOctober 10\, 2023Anahata Yoga Retreat celebrates the Hindu festival of Navaratri: the 9 Nights of the Goddess: Durga and incarnations of Lakshmi… Read moreSilent Meditation Gathering ReflectionsAugust 18\, 2021 Here at Anahata\, we are honored that Swami Anandakumar has returned to stay for some extra weeks unexpectedly.

Suitable for all levels from Beginner to Advanced. The class will be followed by Havan\, a traditional fire ceremony to bring balance and healing to nature and to ourselves. \nEvery Saturday\, in the Satyananda Yoga Tradition all over the world\, 108 rounds of the Maha Mrityunjaya Healing Mantra is chanted during the practice of Havan\, an ancient Fire Ceremony\, using mantra and fire for means of transformation. \nThis particular mantra is chanted to offer healing to people in need and to assist those who are in transition after death. We read the names of all those we know in need of healing before making offerings to the fire with those names in our hearts. \nIf you would like to add somebody to the Healing Book\, which is read out before the practice\, contact us. \nCome experience this powerful practice of healing & transformation\, followed by uplifting vibrations at our heart-opening Kirtan. \nAfterwards\, connect with like-minded guests & residents over a delicious Vegetarian Dinner at 6.30pm to conclude the evening \nEmail or call us for car pool options – 03 525 9887.\n \n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2175″][vc_column_text]\n\nMahamrityunjaya Mantra\nOm Tryambakam Yajamahe \nSugandhim Pushtivardhanam \nUrvarukamiva Bandhanan \nMrityor Mukshiya Maamritat \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nMeaning\nOM.
