SHANTIJI'S DECEMBER NEWSLETTER

Are you ready for the wellbeing breakthrough
you have been waiting for?

Relax, rejuvenate, and restore with daily gentle yoga, meditation, deep relaxation, Ayurvedic lectures, mindful art, nature, and delicious holistic Ayurvedic meals in single or twin-share accommodation. Our retreats are designed to empower you to stay healthy and functional for life.
If common worries have held you back from attending a retreat, please be reassured:
Travelling Solo: Most attendees travel alone and quickly form connections. You will naturally make friends and be laughing together by the second day.

Fitness and Flexibility: Everyone attends at different levels, and there is no judgment. Even if you suspect you are the least flexible person or need assistance getting up from the floor, it truly doesn't matter.

Timing: If you are finding reasons to wait for "next year," please remember you likely said that last year, too. The people who finally book are simply tired of waiting. Their consistent feedback is: "That was so much easier than I thought." The logistics are always simpler than anticipated. The hard part isn't the retreat; it is deciding that you are worth it.

The Question of Permission: If you are waiting for permission from your boss, partner, bank account, or for your body to be "bad enough," remember you are the only one who can give yourself permission. The voice listing reasons not to go is fear, not wisdom. The fear of doing something is always worse than actually doing it.

The question isn't whether you need this.
The question is:
What would it feel like to finally give yourself permission?

Every retreat is transformative. You will find yourself saying:
“Best week of my life. Wish I had done this sooner.”

Start by looking at the dates that could work for you.

SHANTIJI'S NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

The way we live
must become part of the way we serve:
This means cultivating a life
that demonstrates what is truly possible:
a life of spacious openness, calmness and clarity,
This is a way where questions and differences
lead to breakthroughs,
and giving feels like an authentic offering,
rather than a performance.

By choosing compassion over cynicism,
presence over distraction,
and hope over despair,
we experience a necessary softening.
Radiant health, peace of mind, and spiritual growth
are within reach for everyone.

As you work with and serve others,
stay grounded in yourself.
Trust the person you are,
and attune to your own mind and body.
By living your values, philosophy and practice,
you make the culture of grace
a part of your daily life.

Shanti yoga can help you return to balance,
grow, heal, and serve others with greater graciousness..
When we practice together,
we connect to something greater than ourselves
and enter the collective mind -
the mind of God.

With infinite love and blessings to all.

Next weekend retreat:
PEACE IN EVERY BREATH
5-7 December

Unplugging from your daily life (especially devices)
is a radical reset for your whole being.
Unplugging is only the first step;
the next steps are slowing down,
letting go
plugging into inner spaciousness
and receiving the quality from your soul’s essence.

People often arrive at Nirvana with huge overwhelm,
overload, despair, and spiritual malnourishment.
They leave with lighter hearts, less or no pain,
renewed energy, major insights into their path and purpose,
and positive energy to meet life from a new place within.

The practices in the silence
and community
of stillness, love, peace, acceptance, and truth
ground and stabilise awareness
in the depth of your heart.
Once you personally experience true peace
it is readily available to experience again and again, in daily life. Shantiji

We hope you’ll join us soon for a retreat.

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER FROM SHANTIJI

Wounds, trauma, and injuries manifest in various forms—physical, emotional, and egoistic. How we manage these experiences is entirely within our control. We can choose to be overwhelmed by them, or we can use them as catalysts for cultivating resilience, strength, and a clear sense of purpose.

The Law of Polarity suggests that everything has an opposite of equal measure. Just as injuries can cause destruction, they can also facilitate profound growth. The depth of our pain is often mirrored by our capacity to feel truly alive and well. As we heal, we learn to love and heal others.
