Learn to develop your fire and build a strong foundation with the asana techniques of the first, second and third grade of Sakshin Ghatastha Yoga. Through the development and application of intense heat even the hardest metal becomes soft and pliable, when this is applied to the physical body realignment of the structure can be achieved without pain.

This 7 day retreat will teach the correct positioning and appropriate breathing of the asanas and their different transitions (vinyasas) as one unbroken sequential form (angahara). Practice of Asana with uninterrupted mindfulness of the breath can and will reveal the innate ability of the mind to become a quiet, calm witness. Meditation is a state of being where the constant and erratic chatter of the mind is dissolved into silence.

Kerala

A place where people live with the land, as opposed to living in it.

Kerala, located on the southwestern tip of India, enjoys unique geographical features that have made it one of the most sought-after destinations in Asia. Fondly referred to as ‘God’s Own Country’, Kerala was selected by the National Geographic as one of the 50 destinations of a lifetime and one of the thirteen paradises in the world.

An equable climate, serene beaches, tranquil stretches of backwaters; lush hill stations and exotic wildlife are the major attractions of this land. Classical art forms, colourful festivals, exotic cuisine are some of the cultural marvels that await travelers. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine and Panchakarma, the rejuvenation therapy in Ayurveda have also helped Kerala to gain a pan-global reputation as a worth-visit destination.

Season never ends in Kerala, thanks to the year-long moderate climate and numerous festivals and events.
