Yoga is the practice.
Self is the exploration.
Yoga & Self is a residential retreat experience by Pragalbha Yoga, created around the idea that yoga is not only a physical practice, but also a way of observing and understanding oneself.
The retreat is designed as a journey inward — beginning with the body, moving through breath and mind, and gradually arriving at greater self-awareness and integration.
The experience combines yoga, breathwork, meditation, philosophy, reflection, journaling and selected experiential practices.
We often experience yoga as something we do — we come to the mat, practise asanas, stretch, breathe and move. But yoga can also become a way of observing ourselves. Across the retreat, we use yoga as a tool to explore:
- How do I move?
- How do I breathe?
- How do I respond?
- What happens when I slow down?
- What am I carrying?
- What do I actually need?
- What does being present feel like?
There is no expectation that you will find all the answers. The intention is simply to create enough space to notice yourself without judgement.
Three days or five, one way inward.
