Silent Yoga Retreats - Spring & Summer 2017
Retreat date
9nd June - 11th June (3 days)
Location Yurts in Cyprus - Simou
The retreat starts on a Friday at 4pm and end on Sunday at 1pm (3day).
The retreat will be held at the Yurts in Cyprus near the village of Simou which is between Paphos and Polis. Unique to Cyprus the yurts in Simou offer total peace and tranquillity in a beautiful rural setting. Yurts are often described as luxury camping. The yurts are hand-made in Mongolia of exceptional high quality. Every luxury yurt has a fantastic view,
The retreat will be held in Silence whenever possible, starting after dinner on the Friday evening at 19:30 and ending on Sunday (3 day) or Monday (4 day) morning after the Yoga Class at 10:00
We will study the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and some other texts on non-duality and awareness (books to be supplied), with an emphasis on the Scriptures in relation to our Yoga practice, direct experiences and cultivation of awareness.
I stumbled by accident on the following article which made interesting reading on the subject of Silence, take a look, you might be happily surprised especially if you are feeling apprehensive about not talking for a while, click link - SILENCE ARTICLE or find file attachment below.
What to Expect
The retreat will focus on bringing the mind under control allowing us to connect with out inner Self. Under the guidance of Peter Petrou, who has 12 years experience in teaching Mindfulness techniques, Meditation, Yoga and Pranayama, outer silence will be used to cultivate inner silence.
Benefits
Silence gives us immeasurable benefits; It allows us to observe our emotions and our thoughts reducing their power over us. We experience directly how we can take control of our lives. Our mind becomes sharper, stronger, more focused.
Ultimately inner silence is the our centre of our being and creation, a place of intuition, love and joy. Silence is not a place of no sound but a very vibrant fully alive feeling, silence talks to us from the heart and gives us all that we need.
