Residential Retreat Ubud, Bali 2024, two spaces available

Imbibe the peace, joy and spirituality of Bali. Be inspired by the colourfully clad women carrying baskets of temple offerings, food and other gifts on their heads. Appreciate the richness of their culture, and their genuine friendliness.

Life in Bali appears as a gentle existence where family, gods and spirituality are revered and life is organised around their family and their spiritual lives.

The Balinese are all about balance in their life, while having an innate gentleness and acceptance for whatever is happening. Allow this to overflow into your being, creating acceptance and peace within.

There are dozens of theories of how the brain produces conscious experience, and a new type of study is testing some of them head-to-head.

The practice of inner silence, known as Mauna in Yoga, involves refraining from verbal communication. It is a form of silence where one abstains from talking. This eventually creates silence within the mind. Initially you will notice a compulsion to speak, then you notice that is unnecessary to speak various thoughts. Over time you will find the practice cultivates a state of stillness and inner peace. By abstaining from verbal communication, you can self reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and inner experiences. Eventually you be able to totally free your mind from the fluctuations of the thoughts arising in the mind. The mind becomes still like the stillness of a vast body of water with immense creative potential. When the mind is still it is known as Antar Mauna, inner silence. The practice of Mauna is often used as a technique in various spiritual and mindfulness practices to enhance self-awareness and deepen your connection with yourself.

Yoga Brings me into my Heart Space :)

Have you heard about the Kali Yuga? It is an Era of inner Ignorance where human society lacks the expression of virtue and is driven by selfish interests, destroying nature and themselves because of greed and ignorance; where people in general have a very superficial idea of what it means to live a good life. As a result, there is conflict from individuals at odds with themselves to nations perpetually on the brink of war. And because of this corrupted environment the process of self-actualisation is simplified in the Kali Yuga. Yoga, which includes al the aspects from Bhakti yoga to Karma yoga to Raja yoga to Jnana and Hatha yoga, they are all life life boats helping those who have the awareness to improve themselves and their environment. It is also an era of advanced technology and when used appropriately the world can benefit. We need to find a way to keep the balance between technology and a healthy environment. I have installed a copper pyramid at the studio now for added relief from the negative influences of the times we live in and to assist you in maintaining physical, mental and emotional harmony :)

I am Swami Muktibodhananda Saraswati, female author of commentaries on Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the C15 text on Hatha Yoga techniques eluciated by Yogi Swatmarama, a male practitioner. It is a rare for a western female practitioner to write commentaries on a Sanskrit text. Though today many may not understand the relevance of this, it is, however, important as I give another perspective to the practices and experiences that can unfold within the practitioner.

Today yoga is taught in many gyms purely as exercises without any reference to the spiritual importance of the practices or their capacity to relieve you of the machination of your egoic mind. In essence Hatha yoga comprises various physical practices to take you from your corporal experience and egocentric mind to the more subtle experience of higher self and eventually super-consciousness. Though this is not a concern of most people in the 21st century, it does need to be understood in order to better deal with the mind.

You can just focus on body beauty and body strength and do yoga postures to for physical improvement, that is fantastic. Be aware though that practise of yoga asana postures will eventually awaken an awareness within you that you are more than a corporal body. One day when you do have an altered state of experience, because that is what happens with human evolution, then yoga practices can assist you to integrate this experience into your current life.
