SUMMARY:New Zealand Yatra
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text text_align=”center”]\n\n‘Yatra Australia’ is holding their 1st New Zealand Yatra through the Abel Tasman National Park.\nAnahata Yoga Retreat is a featured stop on the journey.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5687″][vc_column_text]\nA ‘Yatra’ is a unique journey providing a special environment to engage with and enquire deeply into the potential of ‘human awakening.’ In the company of like-minded people\, a yatra takes place within some of the most pristine landscapes of our natural world. \nYatra is the Sanskrit word for pilgrimage. A yatra is a pilgrimage which offers an opportunity to explore dharma teachings and pathways to awakening whilst hiking through wild and pristine landscapes of our stunning natural world. A yatra cultivates supportive conditions to investigate our relationship to self\, others and our environment in order to deepen our sense of interconnection. \nThe program will provide a flexible combination of silent periods for yoga\, meditation\, and reflective walking (wandering)\, as well as time for facilitated exercises\, workshops\, group circles\, and artistic expression. The variety of practices will draw from deep ecology\, traditional dharma teachings\, nature wisdom\, science\, eco-psychology and tribal traditions. The first yatra in New Zealand will follow the wandering trails of the renowned Abel Tasman National Park. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nTo read more about this Yatra and how to make a booking\, have a read of their informative PDF: NZY20 \nOr visit their website here\, for more information on Yatra Australia. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5701″ img_size=”large”][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]Developing Resilience Online CourseHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatWith: Swami Karma KarunaJuly 1\, 2022 - July 1\, 2024Havan (Sacred Fire Ceremony) – Every SaturdayHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatNovember 12\, 2022 - December 28\, 2024Nervous System Reset 2024Hosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatMay 19 @ 6:30 pm - July 14 @ 8:00 pmView All Retreats and Events [/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Nature of Karma - Understand Your Patterns to Change Your Life
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\n \nObserve the layers of your embodiment\, karmic tendencies & patterns of behaviour. Achieve a greater understanding of yourself. Enable personal healing & shed whatever may be holding you back.\n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nRetreat Overview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We all have areas in our lives we would like to improve upon\, but there is often something holding us back. Whether it is challenging relationships\, health issues or other blockages in moving forward\, beneath the surface of these external manifestations lies negative patterns of behaviour that prevent us from connecting with the deepest part of ourselves\, and thus prevents us from experiencing and becoming the best version of ourselves. \nDuring this weekend retreat\, we will look at the Koshas\, or layers of our embodiment\, and learn how our reality is actually born from our own karmic tendencies and patterns of behaviour. Using basic Chakra psychology\, we will learn to identify and trace the problematic patterns back to the root of their physical expression so we may discover the most optimal tools in asana\, pranayama and meditation to achieve greater understanding and personal healing. \nFinally\, we will add in an understanding of numerology and the yogic philosophy of the soul’s manifestation in order to reveal a map of the multi-dimensional nature of the soul to see how the human earthly experience fits within it. This will allow us to begin to understand how our own Functional Perspective creates a reality of patterns and karmas. By the end of this retreat\, you will have the understanding and tools to manifest right action and change the course of your life![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6464″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nThe Retreat Programme Includes\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]3 nights\, shared accommodation (unless camping)\, all meals and the full retreat programme. \n\nHatha Yoga classes\nSmall Group Discussions\nGuided Meditation\nDaily Chanting\nKirtan (singing mantras to music)\nDaily Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation)\nKarma Yoga (action with meditative awareness\nFire Ceremony (Havan) and Chanting (healing sound vibration)\nA Labyrinth*\n\n*We are offering the experience of a Seven Ringed Labyrinth\, as a walking meditation. This is an opportunity to retreat into the deeper layers of Self\, seek answers from within and then emerge back into the world anew. Contrary to a maze\, which has options and dead ends\, the labyrinth is a single path that weaves back and forth on itself giving the illusion that you are getting further away from the source when in fact every step you take is getting closer to it. It is a wonderful metaphor for the spiritual path. \nThe labyrinth will be occurring on Sunday 23rd after the retreat comes to a close\, if you would like to stay an extra night to experience this walking meditation then we are offering an extra night’s stay for just $120 + koha in exchange for Shivani’s facilitation of the labyrinth. We encourage participants to bring a sacred object\, like a small or medium sized crystal\, to leave on the path inside the labyrinth as an offering of gratitude to the Divine Mother.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6465″][vc_column_text]\nAdditional Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Start Time: 5pm onwards Thursday 20th February – arrival/registration\nFinish Time: 11am Sunday 23rd February \nComplimentary pick up: Thursday 20th February 6.10pm Golden Bay Visitor Centre\, where the Golden Bay Coachlines bus will drop you off if traveling to Takaka from Nelson.\nComplimentary drop off: Sunday 23rd February 11am back to Golden Bay Visitor Centre\, where the Golden Bay Coachlines bus will pick you up from if traveling from Takaka to Nelson.\n \n\n Special Dietary Requirements: All meals provided are vegetarian.

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]Raja Yoga – The Royal Pathway to Mastering Your MindMarch 4\, 2024The depth of yoga that is understood and shared in our modern times is primarily touching the tip of the… Read moreBuilding Resilience with Yoga and MeditationMarch 4\, 2024What is Resilience No matter who we are\, the state of the bank balance or which country we live in;… Read moreClean Your Glasses with MeditationMarch 4\, 2024“The way one see’s life\, is like looking through a pair of glasses\, formed at a young age.

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_column_text]\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.

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.

SUMMARY:Prana\, Pranayama & Prana Vidya Weekend by Zoom
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nThe Yogis say that the “quality of your breath reflect the quality of your life”. 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][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nExplore Other Retreats & Events\n[/vc_column_text]Developing Resilience Online CourseHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatWith: Swami Karma KarunaJuly 1\, 2022 - July 1\, 2024Havan (Sacred Fire Ceremony) – Every SaturdayHosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatNovember 12\, 2022 - December 28\, 2024Nervous System Reset 2024Hosted by: Anahata Yoga RetreatMay 19 @ 6:30 pm - July 14 @ 8:00 pmView All Retreats and Events [/vc_column][/vc_row]
