Navaratri is not just a celebration; it’s a divine dance of energies within and without. As we honor Durga’s courage\, Lakshmi’s abundance\, and Saraswati’s wisdom\, we align ourselves with these cosmic forces\, allowing their energies to flow through us\, allowing us to emerge renewed and empowered. \nONLINE OPTION AVAILABLE: If you can’t make it to Anahata\, join us for our daily mantra sadhana via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Guru Poornima: Full Moon Community Gathering
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]\nJoin us at Anahata for a weekend of selfless service and celebration! \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n“Serve\, Love\, Give\, Purify\, Meditate\, Realise” were the famous words uttered by the great Yogi Swami Sivananda Saraswati. These helpful tools for life can be seen as steps to help awaken to the higher consciousness within and around us. \nThis is a weekend for our Sangha community to get together and lend a hand on some projects here at Anahata while reconnecting with one another over the auspicious time of Guru Poornima. Guru Poornima is the time of the full moon representing the highest point of realisation when the inner light shines in absolute darkness. This is the time to re-connect to our spiritual heritage\, those who have inspired us on the path of self-understanding\, and link with the higher forces that shine a light on the path and guide our evolution. \nOver the weekend we invite you to join us for:\n– Karma Yoga – supporting the land at Anahata by channeling energy into projects and missions as a community\n– Hatha/Restorative Yoga\n– Yoga Nidra\n– Satsang (spiritual discussion)\n– Extended Kirtan celebration (Akhanda Kirtan)\n– Use of Sauna\n– Opportunity for private sessions (bodywork\, healing\, 1:1)\n– Enjoy the stunning natural environment\n– Connect with likeminded people in the community \nService is the action of helping others without expectation. By helping others you can ultimately help yourself. By helping others you can awaken joy within yourself. Seva is the Sanskrit word for selfless service. It means offering oneself wholly to a greater cause. Karma Yoga is the ‘yoga of action’\, the action that is done with awareness\, the action that liberates instead of binds. It is through selfless activities\, unattached work and loving service that one can acquire the precious gem of purity\, patience and humility. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nAdditional Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Start Time: 3PM Friday 30th June\nFinish Time: 8AM Monday 3rd July \nEXCHANGE: \nFull weekend $108 + donation of your capacity \n1 night overnight stay (Saturday night) $54 + donation of your capacity \nDay visit or evening program only – donation of your capacity \nExchange includes: accommodation\, food\, and weekend program.

SUMMARY:Active Hope - Deep Ecology & Yoga Retreat
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader” color=”#ff9900″]\nJoin us for an extraordinary\, heart-felt journey into enhanced connection and empowerment through Deep Ecology & Yoga\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”7804″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nWhy join this Deep Ecology retreat?\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We are alive at an extraordinary moment in time. It is a time of growing uncertainty\, yet also time of great possibility when creativity\, courage and collective action can help cultivate change. This is a time when many of us are seeking ways to reconnect to one another and to the living Earth. \nDeep ecology is a holistic approach to facing the current challenges on Earth that brings together thinking\, feeling\, spirituality and action. It involves moving beyond the individualism of Western culture also seeing ourselves as part of the Earth. This leads to a deeper connection with life\, where Ecology is not just seen as something ‘out there’\, but something we are a part of and have a role to play in. \nIn this retreat\, we will draw on the work of Joanna Macy\, John Seed and Arne Naess. We will use theories and interactive practices from The Work That Reconnects to reconnect to out own true nature\, the web of life\, and to our human community. \nThis work supports us to experience first hand that we are larger\, stronger\, deeper\, and more creative than we have been brought up to believe. Opening our hearts and our minds to the love\, the grief we feel for our world\, empowers us to act on behalf of the Earth. \n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/FOVxwBVYf1I”][vc_column_text]\n\nRetreat Overview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This retreat combines the transformational journeys of Deep Ecology and Yoga under the guidance of experienced facilitators in a nurturing and safe environment. \nIn the Deep Ecology sessions\, you will be guided through the four stages of the spiral of the The Work That Reconnects in a journey of experiential practices\, poetry\, ritual\, song\, movement and silence. We explore and deepen our connections to Self\, each other\, and all Life\, in order to take part in the Healing of our World. \nYoga brings us into balance and harmony\, giving us the ability to enjoy life\, fulfil our potential and find our true identity. We will be practicing traditional yogic practices including Asana\, Pranayama\, Yoga Nidra\, Havan and Meditation. These yogic practices will encourage us to tune into both the universal nature alongside our own. \nWe hope that a combination of the two will empower you to act on behalf of Earth with clarity\, love and direction. \nNo previous experience in either Yoga or Deep Ecology necessary. \nTake a look at our blog titled – Deep Ecology – What’s it all about? Here we interview Inna Alex about her experiences of Deep Ecology and why the movement is important. \n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2411″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\nThe Retreat Programme Includes\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]3 nights\, shared accommodation (unless camping) with meals and full retreat programme\, including:\n \n\nFour stages of the spiral of The Work That Reconnects: experiential practices\, poetry\, ritual\, song\, movement and silence.\nHatha yoga classes\nGuided meditation\nYoga Nidra (deep relaxation)\nFire Ceremony (Havan)\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6940″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\nAdditional Info\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Start Time: 4pm Friday 28th April arrival / registration\nFinish Time: 4pm Monday 1st May \nRetreat Cost:\nShared accommodation: NZ$540-690*\nCamping: NZ$490-640*\nEarly Bird Discounts: Take $50 off\, if payment is completed by March 31st.\n*Prices include Shared Accommodation (unless Camping)\, all meals and the full Retreat Programme \n\n\nContact: innaevolution.nz@gmail.com for more information.

SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra & Restorative Practices 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: education@anahata-retreat.org.nz\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.
