A fast breath equals a stressed mind\, unfocused emotions and a sick body. A slow\, deep breath equals a calm\, balanced and focused mind\, health & well-being.\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8325″][vc_column_text]\n\nOverview\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nThis weekend will explore prana through Asana\, Pranayama\, Mudras\, Bandhas\, Mantras\, Chakras including Prana Vidya theory and practices. 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. Prana Vidya is both a final goal of total awakening and it is also a process\, which focuses on activating\, directing and enhancing the vital energy. \nThe key to the ‘knowledge of prana’ is its applications into daily life\, learning to use our energy consciously\, conserve and build it.  Explore the science behind the breath\, the importance of the relaxation response and its connection to our physical\, mental and energetic experiences. \n  \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8556″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]\n\n  \nChakra illustrations by Turid Ousland. Ajna and Manipura Chakra are both important in relation to Prana and Prana Vidya practices. All the chakras will be touched upon during the retreat. \nDelve into Mudras\, which are gestures and expressions of particular states of consciousness and energy. By using them consciously\, the practitioner directly and indirectly influences mental and emotional states\, health and well-being. With the use of mudras\, the practitioner can consciously awaken\, balance and redirect Prana to influence the physical and subtle aspects of the body and mind. \nExperience Prana Nidra and other Prana meditations to learn how to enhance the flow of energy in your body as well as conserve and direct Prana for health and wellbeing\, as this is an important key to healthy organs\, optimal endocrine system\, balanced weight\, mental and emotional clarity and equanimity. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nFor a free taster\, check out Swami Karma Karuna’s Salute to the Moon recording here\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n\nSchedule with Swami Karma Karuna\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]First session on Friday at 06.30 NZT (20.30 Norwegian Time) and last session on Sunday at 17.00 NZT (07.00 Norwegian time). \nDaily Sessions:  \n06.30 – 08.00 NZT Theory\, Prana Nidra & Meditation (04.30 – 06.00 AUST) (20.30 – 22.00 Norwegian time).\n17.00 – 18.50 NZT Asana\, Pranayama\, Mudra\, Bandha & Meditation (15.00 – 16.50 AUST) (7.00 – 8.50 Norwegian time).\n  \n6 sessions on Zoom with Karma Karuna costs 1400\,- NOK (234.64 NZD)[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n\nFull Weekend Schedule\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n17.00 – 18.50 NZT (07.00 – 08.50 Norwegian time): Asana\, Pranayama\, Mudra\, Bandha & Meditation with Karma Karuna by Zoom\n21.00 – 22.45 NZT (11.00 – 12.45 Norwegian time): Breath -practice and theory + yoga nidra with Silje\n03.00 – 03:45 NZT (17.00 – 17.45 Norwegian time): Mantras and discover prana through sound with Silje\n06.30 – 08.00 NZT (20.30 – 22.00 Norwegian time): Theory\, Prana Nidra & Meditation with Karma Karuna by Zoom \nThe first class is on Thursday 03.00 NZT (17.00 Norwegian time) and the last session on Sunday is a closing circle from 00.00 – 01.00 NZT (14.00 – 15.00 Norwegian time). \nFor the full retreat with Karma Karuna and Silje it costs 1900\,- NOK (318.44 NZD)\n  \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n\nAdditional Information\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]To view different timezones\, click here \nWe will make a recording of all sessions and you will have them available for 1 month after the course. \nFor bookings and more info click here\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nSwami Karma Karuna\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8117″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Swami Karma Karuna Saraswati is an engaging\, intuitive yoga and meditation teacher\, inspirational speaker\, writer and Yoga Therapist with 30 years of experience. \nA co-founder and director of Anahata Yoga Retreat\, New Zealand\, she also travels throughout the world\, leading workshops\, training yoga teachers\, presenting at international events such as Bhakti Fest\, USA\, the International Yoga Festival\, NZ\, Yoga Australia Conference\, Melbourne as well as guiding spiritual sadhana retreats around the world and offering therapeutic one to one yoga sessions. \nShe is passionate about sharing an authentic and down to earth approach\, weaving together the ancient practices with a touch of psychology and brain science aimed at motivating people to live their yoga here and now.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n \n Yoga Buffet - A Celebration of Abundance\n\n \n September 27 @ 3:30 pm - 8:30 pm \n\n \n\n [/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] URL:https://www.anahata-retreat.org.nz/event/prana-pranayama-prana-vidya CATEGORIES:Anahata Retreats,Online Courses,Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.anahata-retreat.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_2871-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210620 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210621 DTSTAMP:20251221T030905 CREATED:20210516T033954Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210516T034314Z UID:8588-1624147200-1624233599@www.anahata-retreat.org.nz SUMMARY:Nelson International Yoga Day 2021 DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8589″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Join Nelson teachers to celebrate International Yoga Day! \nSince 2014\, all over the world\, June 21st has been celebrated as International Yoga Day.
