YOga beyond the poses
Retreat & rebalance this march

Living in a busy modern world is taxing. When it comes to investing in our health and wellbeing these are often not prioritised in spite of our best intentions to fill up our cup.

Having a regular Yoga practice can make the world of difference. It can be as simple as a 20 min Hatha capsule that optimises spinal health. In this workshop day you will explore 3 practice capsules and other life changing tools like Yoga Nidra and mantra chanting.

Sadhana comes when we have a specific goal that we work towards and stick with that. If your goal is to maintain health then a personalised set of practices are tailored to that. If you goal is to unravel mental patterns & dive deeper into the underlying causes of tension then there are practices and principles to follow for this.

You will leave equipped and confident to improve your life.

All our yoga lifestyle day workshops include; an extended themed morning practice, lunch, Yoga Nidra, meditation plus informative talks dotted throughout the day - view the schedule below.

What CLIENTS Say

I have been a student of yoga & meditation for many, many years and a teacher now for the last 7 years. I've been blessed with the most amazing teachers from various traditions who have each given me special gifts. I was so lucky to begin my 500 hour teaching journey with Pragyadhara this January in a restorative yoga, breathing and yoga nidra course at Kawai Purapura. This and the proceeding study have provided the gateway to the most phenomenal shift in my personal practice and teaching.

Pragyadhara embodies yoga for me. A font of traditional wisdom imparted with deep humility and expertise.

I am grateful for the opportunity I had in working with Pragyadhara. I will be back for more. You should too.
