Silent Yoga Retreat with Mansoor 6th Dec - 18 Dec 2015
Silent Retreat in Tiruvannamalai, India
This retreat is being held at Nanagaru Ashram looking onto Arunachala, the holy mountain in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. Over centuries many sages and saints have been drawn to this area and most famous is Ramana Maharshi whose ashram is also close by.
The accommodation has been arranged for 12 nights (Sun 6th Dec - Friday 18th Dec) and the Silent Retreat is for one week (Tues 8th Dec - Tues 16th Dec).
The Trip has been planned so that people travelling to India can take in a 2 week holiday. Accomodation is for 12 nights, from 6th to 18th December at the Nanagaru Ashram.
The retreat begins lunchtime Tuesday 8th December 2015 and ends before lunch on 15th December 2015. This gives a window of a few days before and after the retreat to settle in and then reacclimatize before departure and take in some of the sights.
