KLESHAS
Saturday 15 April - 11:30 to 13:30
THE 5 ROOTS OF HUMAN SUFFERING
Why do we suffer as humans and what can we do to let go of suffering?
In this interactive workshop we will dive into the philosophy of yoga. We will discuss the 5 KLESHAS, that is, the 5 roots of all human suffering.
The five kleshas are avidya (ignorance), asmita (over-identifying with your ego), raga (desire, or attachment to pleasure), dvesha (avoidance), and abhinivesha (attachment and fear)
Yoga takes a clear stance as to why we suffer as humans, and what to do to suffer less or maybe to not suffer at all.. So we can live blissful, happy and healthy lives that are fully balanced and aligned with our deepest potential. Let's immerse ourselves together in this beautiful philosophical theory and practice!
This workshop includes a short meditation before and cookies and tea afterwards!
No previous experience is necessary, making it suitable for anyone who want to learn about yoga philosophy.

PRANAYAMAS
Saturday 22 April - 11:30 to 13:00
Breathing is the most vital process in the body. It influences the activities of each and every cell and, most importantly, it is closely related to the functioning of the brain.
Breathing fuels the burning of oxygen and glucose, producing energy to power every muscle contraction, glandular secretion, and mental process. Breathing is intimately linked to all aspects of the human experience.
Most people breathe incorrectly, using only a small part of their lung capacity. Breathing is then generally shallow, depriving the body of oxygen and prana essential for good health.
Slow, deep, rhythmic breathing stimulates and is stimulated by calm and content moods.
Irregular breathing disrupts the rhythms of the brain and leads to physical, emotional and mental blockages. These, in turn, lead to internal conflicts, unbalanced personality, disordered lifestyle, and disease.
Pranayama establishes regular breathing patterns, breaking this negative cycle and reversing the process. It does this by taking control of the breath and restoring the natural, relaxed rhythms of the body and mind.
Pranayama practices should be done after asana in an integrated yoga program.
In this workshop we practice different pranayamas and Prana Kriyas, creating an appropriate sequence to be able to incorporate it into your daily yoga practice.
No previous experience is necessary, making it suitable for beginners and anyone who wants to learn about breathing, or for advanced yoga practitioners who want to go deeper.

SATSANG CON EL MAESTRO SAMDARSHI, INDIA
Every year at Satya Sadhana Sasthan Ashram - Rishikesh & Goa
Rishikesh Dates: Begins November 2022
Dates in GOA: January 15 to March 15, 2023.
Swami Prem Samdarshi was born in 1961 in Banda (near Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India), the eldest son of a cloth merchant. He instinctively knew the Vipassana meditation technique and practiced it on his own until after meeting his Master, Osho, he realized that what he had been practicing was a powerful ancient meditation technique. In 1983 Osho initiated him into Sannyas, after which he spent considerable time in Osho's presence. Years of intense meditation followed during which he also tried a variety of meditation techniques, but eventually returned to Vipassana.
After 7 years of intense sadhana, he attained enlightenment on April 2, 1990. Describing the experience, Swami Samdarshi said, “All knowledge of existence was revealed to me. All my existential questions were answered. My thirst was quenched. Finally, I came home.” Master Samdarshi currently runs Satsang retreats in Rishikesh, Manali, Goa (India) and travels the world at various times of the year offering daily Satsang, teaching meditation and answering questions from seekers.
"Sat" means Truth and "Sang" means Company. Satsang means "in the company of Truth". In deep and intimate proximity with the Truth. A trusting and receptive communion with the Master who has attained the Truth. In a state of silence, open heart and deep love, the Master flows towards the disciple. Satsang is an open event based on donations.
Please contact us for more information.
"Love is your nature. You were born with it and you have never been without it. Sharing is the path to your nature and when you reach your nature, you will suddenly find that you are full of love."
