A yoga stay is a rare opportunity to fully live Satyananda Yoga and not only to practice it during a class or a course.

Objectives of a yoga retreat

You may stay in the Aube Yoga Center individually or with a group to allow your students to experience yogic life and yoga paths.

To combine the interiority gained through hatha yoga, yoga nidra and meditation with other paths of yoga : karma yoga, bhakti yoga and gyana yoga. When the retreat is organised around a specific theme, some practical instructions are given to help the students to apply the benefits of practices into the life.

To develop the drashta or witness through a progressive and guided method. This quality is an integral part of gyana yoga, in which observation is combined with acceptation.

To give a solid base for spiritual progress and in the same time to avoid isolation and enhance the sense of self responsability.
