ABOUT THE RETREAT

Laruga’s intention for this retreat is to facilitate a space for those to enter into the heart and soul of Ashtanga yoga through practice, self-reflection and discovery. Mornings will be dedicated to sitting in silence as well as chanting, to then commence the Mysore practice under her guidance. The afternoon classes will be comprised of the major aspects of the Ashtanga yoga tradition as well as discussion on the philosophy. This retreat will be limited to 15 people offering an intimate space for guidance and support throughout the week. In that light, Laruga will also leave space to meet the needs of the group by tailoring the workshops with this in mind to help foster everyone’s connection to the practice. It is her hope that each participant will leave the retreat refreshed, recharged, and inspired, maintaining the gift of yoga within moving forward.

 

ABOUT THE PRACTICE

The first morning you will probably do a led class but for the remainder, the mornings will be dedicated to Mysore class, which will be for all levels as always. Mysore is so great because it is the most appropriate for experienced students as well as new beginners. Just know all students will be well taken care of. Then for the afternoons, Laruga will go over the foundations of the Ashtanga yoga practice more in-depth. In between practices, there will be yoga philosophy sessions with group discussion. So by the end of the week, all participants will have a greater grounding in all aspects of the Ashtanga yoga tradition.

* All practices are open to all levels from beginners to more advanced yogis and restricted to a small number of guests (10-15).
