Now\, more than ever\, our health\, well-being and sustainability services are essential to the needs of individuals and families from all walks of life. \nAnahata depends predominantly on the support of the community through donations of time\, energy and money to enable this work to continue and your immediate support is vital to keep Anahata alive and thriving during the critical winter months and will also enable us to continue the important work in promoting health\, personal development\, and environmental stewardship into the future. \nHow You Can Contribute: \n1.

It is a fully guided accessible meditation practice that plays with the state between waking and sleeping\, allowing us to explore ‘being’ in a world of ‘doing’. \nImplemented in 8-week sections\, students will have the opportunity to learn about the origins of Yoga Nidra\, experience the many benefits and applications and explore a variety of tools such as visualisations\, Sankalpa\, breath awareness and relaxation techniques. We cover each stage of Yoga Nidra in-depth and delve into the science behind this powerful tool of the ‘yogic sleep’. \nEach week covers a new topic that builds upon the next. We encourage you to follow the weekly structure which progresses you through the course in a way that supports a fuller understanding of Yoga Nidra. However\, the course is self-paced and can be completed in whatever time frame suits you. Each week we invite you to reflect in the provided self-reflection journal. Observe yourself during your practice of Yoga Nidra and notice how it is enhancing\, supporting and inspiring your daily life. \nThis is an inclusive course. All bodies and levels of experience are welcome\, including absolute beginners. Throughout the course you are welcome to contact Swami Karma Karuna\, who will be available to help answer questions and offer support. You will also be invited to live Q&A sessions over zoom\, bi-monthly during the course. These will be recorded and uploaded to the course platform. The course is a total of 40 hours. All course content will be available to you for six months. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nThe Benefits of Yoga Nidra\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n– Gives the senses a deep rest from the activities of contemporary society \n-Trains the mind to connect into tranquility effortlessly \n-Releases impressions from the past and anxieties about the future \n-Effective management in the management of stress\, anxiety\, insomnia & depression \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nPlease send any questions to education@anahata-retreat.org.nz\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE THE COURSE THROUGH OUR THINKIFIC PAGE\n  \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nSwami Karma Karuna\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10127″][vc_column_text]\n  \nSwami Karma Karuna is a founding member and director of Anahata Yoga Retreat\, New Zealand\, and a dedicated\, intuitive yoga teacher with years of experience working with a wide range of people. \nFrom an early age\, she travelled exploring diverse spiritual traditions; finally dedicating herself to the yogic path\, guided by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati.

One who walks the path of Sadhana through dedicated practice is known as a Sadhaka. \nThe first week is focused on learning a complete practice of Yoga for your personal Sadhana. This is based on Hatha Yoga techniques which include: Shatkarma (Purification) Asana (Posture) Pranayama (Breath) Bandha (Locks) Mudra (Seals) Mantra (Sound) and Kriya (Meditation). \nThe second week is an exploration of the Chakra system which features a specific meditation for each Chakra and a complete practice which combines them all. Advanced Hatha Yoga techniques are introduced to channel the flow of energy to the specific Chakras. \nThroughout the Sadhana\, Yoga Nidra is incorporated for complete relaxation of the body and the mind\, combined with the practice of Sankalpa\, an affirmation of the Souls intent. \nTo deepen the experience\, philosophies and practices from Jnana Yoga\, Bhakti Yoga and Karma Yoga are integrated. \n\nJnana Yoga is self-inquiry through studying sacred scripture and mediation.\nBhakti Yoga harnesses power of emotion\, cultivating love and devotion with ecstatic song and dance\, known as Kirtan.\nKarma Yoga is conscious action performed with a meditative state of mind.\nTogether\, these aspects combine to create an integrated approach to Yoga\, tailored for modern times.\nKey scriptures for the course are: Hatha Yoga Pradipika\, Gheranda Samhita\, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Bhagavad Gita.\n\nThis training is suitable for practitioners who have prior experience in Hatha Yoga. Above all\, a stable mind and a courageous heart are essential for all Sadhakas embarking on the journey of Sadhana. \nEvery individual must find their own path and walk it. This is your Dharma. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nAdditional Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n108 Hours \n\nInvestment: NZD $2200 \nThere is space for 18 Sadhakas. \nEarly bird discounts and scholarships are available for a limited time. \nApply via www.yinculture.com \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9778″ alignment=”center” lightbox_custom_img=”8608″][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.anahata-retreat.org.nz/event/yoga-sadhana-training CATEGORIES:Online Courses END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220626 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220627 DTSTAMP:20260319T231603 CREATED:20220614T221029Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220616T074732Z UID:9704-1656201600-1656287999@www.anahata-retreat.org.nz SUMMARY:Satyananda Yoga for Restoration & Resilience Online Workshop DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nJoin Swami Karma Karuna for a 3-hour online program exploring restorative practices within the Satyananda system of Yoga.
