SUMMARY:Celebration of Yoga and Consciousness: Maha Shivaratri
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]\nAn Evening of Fire Ceremony\, Yoga\, Meditation\, Kirtan and Sound Healing.  \nJoin us at this auspicious time of Maha Shivaratri for a special evening of celebration.\n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8370″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n\n  \nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nMaha Shivaratri literally means ‘the great night of Shiva’ \nShiva is considered the first yogi and the embodiment of high consciousness so on this night\, one connects with their own dedication to the yogic path and the unfolding of awakening consciousness. \nIt 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. \nIn this time of great global challenge\, gathering together to create high vibrations\, awaken positivity and inner strength is highly important. \nJoin us in ceremony\, celebration and yogic practice to uplift and raise the vibration within us and around us. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n  \nProgram\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nYin Yoga Session\, Pranayama and Meditation with Nikolas from Yin Culture: The mission of Yin Culture is to be a harmonizing force in the world. Yin Culture is based on Taoist and Tantric philosophy applied to modern culture. The practices draw from two sources: The modern practice of Yin Yoga\, as taught by Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers. The ancient practices of Pranayama\, and Meditation from Tantric Hatha Yoga. \nSound healing with Romy & Nassib: Our class aim to guide our participants to surrender into layers of blissful soundscapes consisting of a wealth of instruments such as singing bowls\, didgeridoo\, mouth harps\, sensulas\, strings intruments\, handpan\, and buffalo drum. Our intention is to carry people on a journey back to the core of our true self. \nSwami Karma Karuna will guide a Havan\, an ancient fire ceremony from the Indian Vedic tradition where we use mantra and fire as a means of transformation. \nJoined by Andrew Grey for Kirtan\, 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. \n  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8371″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n\nAdditional Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n5pm Onwards\nBring a vegetarian dish to share\nSuggested KOHA $25\nEnquire for limited accommodation options \nPlease: RSVP before 12pm Friday \nPlease make donations here or pay with cash on the night \nPhone: +64(3)525-9887\nE-mail: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz \n  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nTeachers\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8117″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\nSwami 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. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8051″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\nThe mission of Yin Culture is to be a harmonizing force in the world. Many Souls are finding it difficult to maintain their centre in this time of rapid change. Many yearn to return to the harmony of nature. It is these Souls for which Yin Culture is medicine. Yin Culture is based on Taoist and Tantric philosophy applied to modern culture. The practices draw from two sources: The modern practice of Yin Yoga\, as taught by Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers. 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. Nassib takes a modern approach to ethnic and ritualistic music by blending ancient instruments with the latest sound technology\, delivering you a bath of multicultural and ambient soundscapes to transport the audience consciousness far beyond and back. He has held sound baths\, ethnomusical concerts\, and lessons in multiple retreats\, festivals\, and gatherings. \nRomy is a well-traveled certified Naturopath Herbalist and yoga teacher.  She has been dedicated to gain knowledge and share the art of healing through meditation and yoga. Finding herself most at home either on a mat or as a counselor for wellbeing\, she finds it of second nature to hold yoga and guided meditation classes after six years of refining her practice and teaching techniques. \nOur class aim to guide our participants to surrender into layers of blissful soundscapes consisting of a wealth of instruments such as singing bowls\, didgeridoo\, mouth harps\, sensulas\, strings intruments\, handpan\, and buffalo drum. Our intention is to carry people on a journey back to the core of our true self. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nExplore Other Retreats & Events\n[/vc_column_text](2026 – April) Nervous System Reset CourseHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatApril 12 @ 11:00 am - May 17 @ 12:30 pmNelson Yoga FestivalHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatApril 25 @ 3:30 pm - April 26 @ 2:45 pmEmbracing Menopause… 5-Week Online CourseHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatApril 29 @ 10:00 am - May 27 @ 12:00 pmView All Retreats and Events [/vc_column][/vc_row]
