Shakti Yoga Summer Retreat/Intensive - July 23 – 28 www.yogaretreatsparos.com
Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifested form. Not only is the Shakti responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all change, cosmic existence as well as liberation, the embodiment of creative feminine force. She exists in a state of self sufficiency and fierce compassion.
During this Yoga intensive we honor Shakti in her every form cultivating courage ,strength,freedom and grace. Yoga Shakti is a Vinyasa flow practice that links breath and asana in a creative practice. Through variations of Sun salutations, integrating all the groups of asana, we create heat ,opening the body, calming the mind and attaining flexibility, clarity, sense of freedom and equanimity. Breath work, Pranayama and meditation are integrated within the practice. Some yoga experience required due to the steady pace and the positively challenging nature of the practice. Summer is a auspisious time to honour our divine creative essence! Swaha!
