MY RETREAT

Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat - Daily Sadhana for a healthy, sexy and happy life.

This retreat is about becoming our own healers. We will practice and implement tools that will help us take care of our personal wellbeing and improve the quality of our lives. The Enchantment of Flow retreat is a gift to ourselves, of healing and celebration.

We will learn Yogic and Ayurvedic fundamentals to manifest the lives we long for, in connection with our essence and inner nature and ones of happiness and lasting fulfillment.

Morning Offering

Morning Offering – from silence to flow: We will start the morning with a silent meditation to tune inwards and give an intention for the day, purify and then fill ourselves with life force energy using various yogic breathing techniques, and awaken our bodies through a vinyasa flow.

Evening Offering

Sensory sunset session: Ending the day with mindfulness techniques (tapping, sensory awareness) to settle the mind, bring ourselves into a state of prayer and peace through a Japa Mala meditation prayer, settle the body in a gentle yin yoga practice, and return to inner silence with Trataka contemplation meditation (candle gazing).

Special offerings

Circle of intentions (opening sharing) / Bhakti yoga / Vedic chanting mantras

the devotional practices to start our magical gathering.

Cacao Ceremony

Cacao is heart medicine, this is a journey through the 7 directions with the intention of cleansing our ancestral traumas and bring one back into a state of presence and surrender

Ecstatic dance

a beautiful way to close the gathering with energetic and dynamic movement; a dance with our inner child.

TEACHER’S NOTE

Anita has the sensitivity and ability to guide into reconnection with one’s body and voice, and through this to the sacred self within. Her devotion, freedom, and expressive love soothes the heart and allows for deep connection and a sense of acceptance and peace. She is dedicated and fun, which makes each practice deep and enjoyable and always is a beautiful tool and bridge into daily life.

EXTRA PRIVATE SERVICES:

Unitary Reiki (Reiki of the sound) is a system of healing that uses the universal life force energy that resides within each one of us. By transferring this life force energy through one’s hands while 'singing the symbols' into the body of another, healing occurs.
Access consciousness (Access Bars®) is a pragmatic tool to change things in your life that you have been unable to change until now. This therapy uses 21 unique points on our head, that the practitioner touches through out the session. Access works with believe systems and ways of thoughts.
