December New Year Retreat

New Year Celebration - Walk the Luminous Path - Resetting the Spiritual Compass
30 Dec - 1 Jan

New Year Sankalpa
Setting the spiritual compass in the best direction for self and all beings.

May there be peace, plenty, prosperity and happiness in every home.
May there be more goodwill, cooperation, kindness and compassion among all nations.
May the world be progressive in all worthy ways.
Sw. Sivananda

Chanting of mantras is ancient and has a spontaneous direct personal and group experience of reforming and altering vibrations in the feeling and acting body rather than the thinking body.

During the new year program connect yourself to the vibration of mantra to soften the heart, express sentiments of goodwill, kindness and cooperation and our choice to be generous and gracious towards self and all living forms.

5 night Intensive Cleansing Retreat with Swami Atmamuktananda

5 night Intensive Lifestyle Retreat Transforming Your Wellness with the six Traditional Yogic Cleansing Practices - Shatkarmas & Yogic Philosophy

21 - 26 October 2025
Book Here - https://www.yogavic.org.au/retreats/6-day-cleansing-retreat

The hatha yoga cleansing practices are simple in nature but profound in their effect. Hatha yoga traditionally, begins with the shatkarmas, a group of cleansing practices which help to purify and detoxify the body and internal systems. With this detoxification of the body, the internal systems are regulated, helping to manage the body/mind imbalances.

The 6 day retreat combining practices with daily Yogic Philosophy discussion sessions and natural rhythms and the stability of the Ashram environment bring about a profound effect of change in vitality, clarity of mind and general wellbeing.

For physical health the practice is best done at the time of change of seasons to help the body adjust to the new season’s energy and qualities.

The weekend retreat will include the following cleansing and relaxation practices:
~ Nasal cleansing (Jala Neti)
~ Intestinal wash (Laghoo Shankaprakshalana)
~ Stomach cleansing (Kunjal Kriya)
~ Yoga Nidra - deep relaxation
~ Pranayama – breathing techniques, including full yogic breathing, Bhramari (humming bee breath) and Kapalbhati (cleansing the frontal lobes of the brain)
~ Trataka – concentrated gazing on a candle flame
~ Meditation
~Yoga for health management – understanding yoga as a lifestyle for overall mental and physical health and wellbeing.
~Other regular ashram practices including havan, kirtan, mantra, forest meditation walks, and karma yoga.

The program will allow time and space for periods of silence, personal reflection and self-study.

Rocklyn Yoga Ashram, Victoria
Sustainable Community Living is Joyful Living
from a few days to months living a yoga way of life, creative projects, organic gardening, sustainable practices in maintenance and kitchen, daily yoga practices,
Comments: If you’re seeking genuine transformation, then stay long-term at the Ashram. I’ve been there for four months and noticed profound changes that I’m sure will last. The program is designed to change your relationship with desires, preferences and aversions, to increase physical and psychological resilience, ingrain a multitude of spiritual practices and outlooks and to build new skill sets. The longer I stay the less subconscious resistance I have towards this disciplined and spiritual lifestyle, leading to greater happiness, confidence and optimism for the future.
