The two wings of yoga or the cardinal practices of Yoga as outlined in in the first chapter of Patañjali’sYoga Sutras are abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (detachment). If our repeated practice is informed by an approach that is free from attachment to the results, the yoga practice become transformational and leads towards freedom in mind and body. In this retreat, we will explore how to both balance practice and detachment in asana and pranayama as well as how they compliment each other. The retreat setting will allow us to not only delve deeper into our understanding of the techniques but to develop subtle awareness.
