Chiva-Som's Yoga Retreat

This retreat provides an ideal setting for a personal yoga and meditation retreat, a chance to go inward and focus on personal healing. Nothing facilitates our personal development like the ability to be mindful and self-aware. This is the fruit of yoga and meditation, healing that takes place on all levels as we begin to nurture body, mind, and spirit. When yoga is developed over time, it becomes something that is integrated into a person, a kind of awareness and understanding that remain long after asana practice has stopped. Techniques of breath and body awareness are at the core of yoga and meditation, and they will be your spring-board for practising mindfulness in everyday life.
