THE GATHERING
This gathering is for anyone who is curious about how ancient yogic teachings (beyond asana) could help us, here and now, to live a wiser and kinder life.
We'll practice yoga, pranayama and meditation outside, in a gorgeous natural setting, in the world heritage Tramuntana mountains. We'll also share a yummy plant-based lunch prepared by a local chef.
On this day retreat we will be exploring the Five Koshas, or layers of the body. They were first described in the ancient yoga text the Taittiriya Upanishad. This Vedic text dates back to the sixth century B.C. and provides guidelines relating to spiritual liberation.
Exploring the koshas can help us develop our awareness and become aware of subtle sensations in our inner landscape.
The idea is that the five koshas surround the TRUE SELF like the layers of an onion or a a Russian doll. We move from gross to subtle, from unmistakable to ethereal. And we move closer and closer to the center, to the truth, towards WAKING UP.
The five koshas is a map, an idea, a way of looking. We believe it's both an accessible and helpful way of experiencing the body/mind.
Have we piqued your curiosity?
