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.

SUMMARY:Yoga Sadhana Training
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nThis training is an immersion into the philosophy\, practice and lifestyle of Traditional Yoga. \nYoga Sadhana is the journey of remembering and realizing the True-Self\, Atma\, Purusha or Soul. 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]

SUMMARY:Power of Awareness Silent Meditation Gathering
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]This 6-day meditation gathering with Swami Anandakumar & Swami Kailash provides an opportunity to travel to your own centre\, to find the stillness within\, discover that your own inner nature is unchanging and connect to your higher source. \nThe gathering offers the unique opportunity to explore tools that will help you to truly find peace\, happiness\, clarity\, perspective on the whole of life and spiritual transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8529″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]This silent meditation gathering offers a unique chance for you to go into a space of silence to begin or deepen your meditation practice depending on your previous experience. Let your mind rest and enjoy a different\, deeper kind of reflection and relaxation that will leave you wiser\, and more ready for the challenges of life. Whilst Power of Awareness can be attended as a stand-alone gathering\, we highly recommend attending our Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi Gathering to prepare the body\, mind and energy to go deeper into meditation. If you choose to book both the Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi & Power of Awareness Gatherings as a package\, you will receive one free night of meals and accommodation in between the two gatherings \n\n\n\nRenowned meditation teacher\, Swami Anandakumar\, takes a fresh and direct approach to meditation which is effective for both the beginner and advanced practitioner. The combination of ancient yoga techniques with well-timed\, intuitive guidance\, aimed at the modern mind\, helps each person to find their way to deeper levels of awareness through access to their own intuitive experience. \nThese meditation practices will be balanced with Hatha Yoga\, Yoga Nidra\, Karma Yoga\, Kirtan and Havan (fire ceremony) to actively encourage a self-explorative approach to meditation and provide a gentle way to balance the mind and realign the awareness toward your own inner nature. \nWith more than 35 years experience Sw. Anandakumar helps to bring harmony to meditation practice\, outlining a working ‘road map’ in order to harmonise any conflict with the body-mind and find your way forward. This allows your meditation practice to come from a place of inspiration rather than a feeling of obligation\, which is uplifting even as you begin to face up to yourself.

Let your mind rest and enjoy a different\, deeper kind of reflection and relaxation that will leave you wiser\, and more ready for the challenges of life. \nRenowned meditation teacher\, Swami Anandakumar\, takes a fresh and direct approach to meditation which is effective for both the beginner and advanced practitioner. The combination of ancient yoga techniques with well-timed\, intuitive guidance\, aimed at the modern mind\, helps each person to find their way to deeper levels of awareness through access to their own intuitive experience. \nThese meditation practices will be balanced with Hatha Yoga\, Yoga Nidra\, Karma Yoga\, Kirtan and Havan (fire ceremony) to actively encourage a self-explorative approach to meditation and provide a gentle way to balance the mind and realign the awareness toward your own inner nature. \nWith more than 35 years experience Sw. Anandakumar helps to bring harmony to meditation practice\, outlining a working ‘road map’ in order to harmonise any conflict with the body-mind and find your way forward. This allows your meditation practice to come from a place of inspiration rather than a feeling of obligation\, which is uplifting even as you begin to face up to yourself. It’s a jumping off point for a deeper self-discovery. \nThe focus of this inspiring retreat is on Awareness in Meditation.
