Divine Tree, The Yoga Studio has been started by Sakina Kapadia with the aim of helping people develop a strong mind and agile body. Using a holistic approach for development, she practices and teaches Hatha Yoga, a form that helps redirect the negative energy of the mind. She completed 200 hours of teacher training at Sharmilas Yoga Studio in Banjara Hills with another 200 hours of intense traini

ng with Yoga Works - Bali. Sakina taught at Sharmilas Yoga studio till 2010, then opening and teaching at the Secunderabad branch of Sharmilas Yoga Studio - Sikh Village till 2015 and has now embarked on a new path with "Divine Tree"

Sakina, with her years of teaching experience, derives inspiration from the Vinyasa style, and uses props such as blocks, belts, cushions, bolsters and ropes which are a distinct feature of the Iyengar style. The classes motivate even those with limitations to perform asanas correctly with the help of those props, thus boosting their confidence. She conducts the classes giving personalised attention to each individual's capability and with her eye for detail encourages each student to discover their body with ease. Because of her calm n gentle approach while teaching, at 'Divine Tree' the classes are not only intense, but energizing, rejuvenating and invigorating as well. The studio truly has a lot to offer for anyone willing to learn.

I just returned from a week in Goa, where I experienced the tranquillity and warmth of Birdsong Moira first-hand. I cannot think of a better place to host Divine Tree—The Yoga Shala’s second retreat, so I have extended the last registration date by a week to participants who still wish to join.

In addition to yoga classes, lectures on Indian philosophy and Veda recitation, participants can look forward to spending quality time reading a book by the pool, enjoying the lush surroundings of Bird Song and revelling in Goa’s monsoon season amidst the gorgeous art that fills every nook of this stunning property. The delicious, nutritious food is a bonus.

I spent a beautiful rain-kissed afternoon at the property, and I can’t wait to return in August to enjoy a week of yoga, relaxation, and spending time to relax and rejuvenate.

Send me a DM for further details. We are only accepting registrations till Saturday 6th July 2024

There are four Mahāvākyas:
Tat Tvam Asi
Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi
Prajñānaṁ Brahma
Ayam Ātmā Brahma
- Where do these come from and how are they relevant to our daily spiritual practice?
- Why is Sanskrit the language of yoga?
- What does yoga have to do with Veda?
- How does one move from the gross to the subtle using only asana practice? Is this even possible?

We will address all of the above with practical and theory sessions at Divine Tree’s second retreat — this time, we’re going to Goa.

The retreat will be held at Birdsong, a beautiful 108-year-old bungalow in Goa. Expect asana classes, lectures on Indic Knowledge Systems, Veda recitation and excursions to discover just how beautiful Goa can get in the monsoon. Also featuring nutritious, vegetarian home-cooked meals that will keep your taste happy and your practise light...

Registrations close on 30th June...

I’m happy to share that I am hosting Divine Tree - The Yoga Shala’s second retreat and this time, I’ve planned a monsoon special in Goa. We’re all familiar with Goa’s beaches and coastal culture so this retreat is a way to discover inland Goa. Goa transforms in the monsoon and I chose a venue that will allow us to enjoy Goa in its monsoon splendour. The venue, , was built in 1908 and it is a gorgeous Goan bungalow with sprawling gardens, situated in the scenic village of Moira.

I also planned an inland excursion to the Arvalem waterfalls and caves and as always, there will be lots of yoga, meditation, philosophy and this time, the philosophy class will be focused on understanding Veda and its recitation.

I hope to see you at the retreat, This one’s going to be special.
❤️

Taking the world's most dangerous flight to Lukla can be an ordeal. But not when you're with a great bunch like this!
You'll need to pack enough entertainment and snacks, as up there it's the weather that dictates flight schedules. This was a 24hr wait for a 20min flight.

🌟 Embrace the Un-Becoming Journey 🌟

"Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place." - Paul Coelho

Let's ponder on this profound wisdom today. Sometimes, growth isn't about adding layers or transforming into someone entirely new. It's about shedding the layers that society, expectations, or past experiences have imposed upon us to re-claim the essence of who we truly are.

As we journey through life, let's courageously strip away the masks, the doubts, the fears, and the societal pressures. Embrace the un-becoming journey, for it leads you to the purest version of yourself. 🌿✨

🌊✨ In the practice of yoga, we often focus on physical alignment – the way our bodies move and flow through poses. Yet, it's within this alignment that we unlock a gateway to a deeper understanding of ourselves. As we cultivate awareness of our body's alignment, we simultaneously tune into the alignment of our thoughts, emotions, and inner wisdom.
Through this alignment, we not only find physical strength and flexibility but also mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual insight.

Let's explore the interconnectedness of body, mind, self, and intelligence through the beautiful practice of yoga. 🙏🌿

🌿 Embrace the essence of yoga 🌿

In a world fixated on self-improvement, let's remember the true essence of yoga: self-acceptance. It's not about striving for perfection, but rather finding peace in who we are in this moment. Yoga teaches us to embrace our strengths, weaknesses, and everything in between. So, take a deep breath, release the need to constantly change, and simply accept yourself as you are. 🧘‍♀️💚

🌟 Pratyahara: The Art of Inner Retreat 🍃✨

Pratyahara, the fifth limb of Ashtanga Yoga is where the senses turn inward, helping self-discovery and introspection.

As we navigate the distractions of life, Pratyahara becomes the anchor, grounding us in a state of mindful awareness. It's not about shutting out the world but reclaiming our power to choose where we place our attention.

How do you practice Pratyahara in your daily life?
