🔑 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗻

Many admire surrender as an idea.

Few are willing to practise it daily.

That’s why we teach 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗵𝘆𝗮𝗻

An ancient meditation of consciously offering the mind and energy back to the Soul.

On the Soul Retreat, we guide you step by step

to make this practice lived, embodied, and real.

Because peace isn’t explained.

It’s experienced.

May this understanding of Samarpan

help you step into a beautiful week ahead!

𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Where in life are you still holding on

Because it feels familiar…

Even though it no longer serves you?

Old habits.
Old fears.
Old versions of yourself.

In yoga, surrender (𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗻) doesn’t mean giving up on life.

It means seeing clearly!

So you can take the 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 with courage and peace.

As this New Year begins,

May you have the grace to let go of what has had its time..

And the strength to step forward lightly. 🌱

🏔️ 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗼

Imagine climbing a mountain.

Each step feels solid.
Comfortable.
Safe.

Yet unless you let go of that step,

You will never reach the summit!

Samarpan is that moment.

When the foot leaves the old step,

guided by something higher.

Surrender isn’t stagnation.

It’s movement toward what matters most. 🙏💜

On Christmas, we are reminded that surrender is not giving up.

In yoga, surrender is called Samarpan!

The offering of the mind back to the living intelligence of life.

It is not a defeat.

It is not a weakness.

It is the quiet courage to let go of what no longer serves,
So peace, clarity and love can guide the next step.

May this Christmas be a moment of true offering..

A soft return to the Soul

Merry Christmas 🎄🕊️

One of the biggest misconceptions on the meditation path

Is that 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 means defeat.

Many students arrive on retreat uncomfortable.. even afraid.. of the word.

By the end… they love it.

Because true surrender isn’t weakness.

It isn’t resignation.

And it certainly isn’t giving up on life.

It’s something far more alive.

In this work, we send messages, write posts, and speak to hundreds of people…

Because we know that sometimes

It’s the 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 message that gets someone moving!

The moment action is taken..

The real magic begins.

Our own daily meditation is what keeps us patient and persistent.

Without it, we would have given up long ago.

And many lives would have remained unchanged.

If you feel called to shift your life,

Let this be the message that nudges you forward!

Many people we meet say they feel stuck.

They want peace…

but when it’s time to take the first step, they say,

“I’ll think about it.”

Months pass.

Years pass.

And the suffering stays.

The hardest part of the journey is getting the train out of the station.

Once it’s moving, momentum carries you.

This is why we guide people firmly.

Not to pressure…

but because we know what happens if they delay.

Take the step.

Your future self will thank you.

Without inner training, a painful memory appears…
and we spiral.

We run, numb, distract, collapse.

With meditation, a different pathway opens.

A difficult thought surfaces,
you see it,
you breathe,
you let it go..
and you return to a higher virtue.

What used to take a week of suffering
now takes a moment.

Freedom is found in these small victories.

Modern yoga often obsesses over flexibility and fitness.

But true Yoga reveals
Your values,
Your blind spots,
Your unhealed places.

It teaches compassion over resentment.

Truth over avoidance.

Clarity over confusion.

Be stiff and kind, than bendy and bitter.

Soul over body... every single time.

On retreat, we teach that after aiming your life toward inner peace..

The next ingredient is simple:

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽.

Left foot. Right foot.

Lift, move, place, let go.

Whether it’s step one or step one thousand..

The action is the same.

Yoga is like this.

Clunky at first, easier with practice,

eventually… natural.

Consistency builds freedom.

01/12/2025

When you ask for help.. even silently.

You are telling yourself...

“𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱.”

Don’t underestimate that.

Human beings don’t ask for the impossible.

So when you reach out, search online, send a message, or join a retreat..

you are already pointing your life in the right direction.

It takes humility to ask.

And humility opens doors you didn’t know existed.

If you are seeking support right now,

You deserve to be congratulated..

You are already on your way!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 — 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 ✨

Kathryn joined us for the 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁, and her experience reflects what so many quietly discover here..

She shared that the retreat was “𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲” and that the guidance from David and Raya supported her in ways she didn’t expect.

Experiences like hers remind us of the depth that unfolds when we step into these timeless yogic practices with sincerity.

If her journey resonates with you, our next Four Yogas Retreat is from 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵.

A few spots are still open.

🙏🏼✨ You are welcome to join us.

P.S. Kathryn's original review and more can be found on our Google Business Profile.

In Service and in Thanks

We love life. This is our offering in thanks to the Mystery beyond words, our humble attempt to give form to the formless. When two souls stand at the cliffs edge and decide to jump, and on doing so turn back to realise the solid ground they were standing on was indeed itself a rock, long since hurling through space, what else is there left to do other than;

Celebrate what we are,

Use our power to create meaning,
