Yoga Asana's
The word yoga means "becoming one". The practice is about gradually opening up to the realization that everything is one and expressing itself through you. This realization requires an ethic towards yourself and others.

In gradually opening up it is important to listen carefully to life, as if life itself guides you. Practicing yoga can bring you the sensitivity and confidence needed for this and thus empower you. It is a physical way to open yourself to a meditative state, and silence, solitude, and space supports this, which is why in addition to yoga asanas and meditation, practicing silence during a retreat is highly recommended.

During a yoga retreat, a maximum of 5 people participate in a yoga class. The groups are deliberately kept small and the explanations of the asanas are kept minimal to support the contemplative aspect of a practice.

Asha Meditation
It is possible to participate in the Asharum’s 2 daily meditations during the retreat, called Asha Meditation.
There are two forms of the Asha Meditation. In the first one, a regular rhythm is maintained with a rattle and voice, followed by silence. Prior to this meditation, you will be given an introduction and a rattle to join in if you wish. The use of the rattle and voice is a preparation for the state of silence that follows.
In the second form, there will be a use of a drum to bring you into a meditative state. In this meditation, the drum is also followed by silence. During the drumming you will not participate and you will only listen.

Silence
Yoga in combination with silence and meditation is a wonderful way to quieten down and connect in full attention. It offers the opportunity to fully relax and experience a beneficial space for the body and mind. If you need inner peace to return with more clarity, then this yoga retreat is for you.
