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. It’s a jumping-off point for a deeper self-discovery. \nThe focus of this inspiring gathering is on Awareness in Meditation. And it will help to answer some essential questions. \n\nWhat is meditation?\nWhat is its purpose?\nHow do we practise it properly?\nHow do we maintain our meditation practice\nWhat are the benefits that meditation can accrue for us in daily life?\n\nThis gathering is suitable for:\n• For all sincere students\, seekers\, and spiritual adventurers.\n• To develop and extend your regular meditation practice of finding the answers within the self.\n• Each meditation experience is unique with the potential to go deeper each time. \nIf you are interested\, read our 5 Reasons to attend a Silent Meditation Gathering\, check out our interview with Swami Anandakumar or our Silent Meditation Gathering Reflections blogposts.

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. And it will help to answer some essential questions. \n\nWhat is meditation?\nWhat is its purpose?\nHow do we practise it properly?\nHow do we maintain our meditation practice\nWhat are the benefits that meditation can accrue for us in daily life?\n\nThis course is suitable:\n• For all sincere students\, seekers\, and spiritual adventurers.\n• To develop and extend your regular meditation practice of finding the answers within the self.\n• Each meditation experience is unique with the potential to go deeper each time. \nIf you are interested\, read our Blog 5 Reasons to attend a Silent Meditation Retreat written by Mahima who attended this retreat with Swami Anandakumar in India OR check out our interview with Swami Anandakumar. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8530″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nAdditional Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nSchedule:\nStart Time: Thursday morning 11th November\nFinish Time: 12pm on Sunday 14th November \nComplimentary pick up: Wednesday 10th November 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 14th Nov 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 \n3x daily meditation sessions (thurs\, fri\, sat + a final session on the Sunday) \nDaily Session Times: \n\n9:30-11:00am NZ (8-9am NSW)\n11:30-12:30pm NZ (9:30-10:30 AEST)\n5:00-6:00pm NZ (3-4:00 AEST)\n\n \n\n\nInvestment: \nIn-Person Prices: \n\nRetreat with camping accommodation: NZ $655\nRetreat with in-house accommodation: NZ $695\nRetreat with in-house accommodation + bedding hire: NZ $725\nRetreat with in-house accommodation + transport: NZ $725\nRetreat with in-house accommodation + transport + bedding hire: NZ $755\nAdditional extra – Weds night accommodation with dinner and breakfast (Saturday morning): NZ $75\n\nOnline: \n\nOnline Retreat: NZ $250 (The online retreat will only include the 3x daily Meditation sessions + a final session on Sunday.

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]View All Retreats and Events [/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Love & Core Martinborough: Building Resilience Yoga & Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8067″][vc_column_text]\n\nAre you wanting to improve your ability to withstand life’s challenges? Do you wish you had a greater capacity to cope and adapt to adversity? Are you wanting to intentionally respond to life rather than react? Luckily\, our inner resilience is a natural part of who we are and is a trait that we can strengthen\, cultivate and build upon.\n \n* The EARLY-BIRD DISCOUNT has been extended till Jan 22nd *\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nResilience is our ability to come back to our centre\, to rebound from adversity and to respond to a challenge in a creative way. Resilience is vital; without it\, we wouldn’t survive the accumulated hardships\, transitions\, and stressful situations that are present in even the most privileged people’s lives. The change we are all facing on some level due to the Covid-19 pandemic can be difficult to navigate with grace. At our Yoga & Meditation Retreat you will learn how to strengthen your body\, mind\, energy and nervous system during this time of uncertainty and learn tools to take away into your daily life. Our ability to adapt\, adjust\, accommodate and find a new way forward requires us to step into our inner source of resilience. \nThe weekend includes theory\, yoga\, breathing and meditation as well as self-reflection exercises to help cultivate this quality. Yoga builds resilience in the body and mind by introducing small amounts of stress in a controlled scenario. This can then be mirrored off of the yoga mat\, in our everyday lives. For example\, the next time you’re experiencing frustration toward a family member or current situation\, you might find it easier to come back to the breath and respond rather than react. We will identify why resilience is important\, how the practices of yoga & meditation can help to create the relaxation response and why it’s important in this day and age. \nAll bodies and levels of experience are welcome. \nTo download the full info pack\, click HERE \n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nIncludes\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n• Techniques to train the body and mind to respond rather than react \n• Ways to calm the nervous system through yogic practices like Yoga Nidra and pranayama • Practices to create new neural pathways that favour equanimity and resilience • Support to raise your vital energy so your batteries are charged enough to face whatever arises in life \n• Mindfulness Techniques to develop positive attitudes in the face of challenge • Hatha Yoga and Breathing sequences to calm and simultaneously strengthen the nervous system • Deep Relaxation with Yoga Nidra and Restorative practices \n• Connect and share with a community of like-minded people \n• Massage and Reflexology treatments available for additional cost.
