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.

LIVE HEALTHIER LONGER RETREAT.
Nirvana

Life can be exciting, but it can also be demanding. New routines, busy schedules, and the transition from freedom to structure often take a toll on our minds and bodies. You might find that more energy seems out of reach, especially if you experience chronic fatigue, exhaustion, or the daily stresses many of our students grapple with.

Stress often manifests quickly in the gut. Have you noticed signs such as bloating, sensitivity, or feeling unwell after meals? If you live with autoimmunity or other chronic health challenges, this digestive stress can feel even more magnified. Your gut lining works incredibly hard to keep you healthy every day. Sometimes, when there's no medical explanation for chronic digestive disorders, natural interventions such as yoga and meditation can help reduce distress. With this support, your gut lining can repair itself more effectively, calm inflammation, and promote smoother digestion. Without it, you might experience discomfort, sluggish digestion, or even signs of "leaky gut."

Recent findings highlight the neurobiological underpinnings of chronic digestive disorders, including IBS, GERD, gastroparesis, reflux, and inflammatory bowel disorders, which cause immense suffering and psychological distress.

To help you reduce the impact of these conditions, we invite you to Nirvana's "Live Healthier Longer" retreat. This retreat focuses on understanding, detoxing, and healing gut health, offering yogic and Ayurvedic insights into treatment.

This retreat will equip you with effective strategies, including how to:

Learn the art and science of healthy living

Understand the communication between the brain and gut via the nervous system.

Employ integrative treatments for digestive disorders that are humane, holistic, scientific, practical, and useful.

Practice self-regulation and behavioural strategies to calm gut distress.

Retrain the limbic system to reduce fear associated with symptoms and shift your response to stress.

Learn about mental health in yoga and Ayurveda

NIRVANA WELLBEING RETREAT: WHERE HEALING BEGINS
Many people come to retreats for various reasons. Some are new to retreats and may be unsure if they can manage without daily comforts such as coffee, ci******es, or alcohol. Many arrive carrying grief, experiencing loss, or going through transitions, seeking a healing environment free of daily stressors. Over the years, we've had the privilege of supporting guests in sobriety, providing stability during challenging times, and guiding them towards a gentler way of living.

Nirvana Wellbeing Retreat is our home, and we have dedicated ourselves to creating a space where guests can slow down and heal in nature.

LEARN TO DANCE

Dance is a joyful, expressive form of art that can bring numerous benefits. It fosters a deep sense of togetherness, and appeals to people of all ages, as, as people are drawn to the lively rhythms, vibrant costumes, and sheer fun that dancing offers.

BEGINNER

We begin with simple moves and basic dance steps. Each step is broken down into easy-to-digest elements. This allows you to grasp dance moves better and build confidence.

RHYTHM

Strengthening your sense of rhythm is exciting. As you match your movements to different speeds of music you advance with your dance skills.

MOVEMENT

Dance offers a joyful way to reconnect with your body and tune into the present moment.

REGULAR PRACTICE AND GUIDANCE

Repetition helps you understand and remember dance moves better. Repeating the same dance moves reinforces learning and helps you master the steps.

FREE DANCE

Experiment, creativity and showing initiative are encouraged in the free dance sections. It offers positive reinforcement and makes learning more enjoyable.

This inclusive workshop is open to everyone.
