SUMMARY:Beyond CHAKRAS - THE ADHARAS: A WORKSHOP w/ Ram Vakkalanka
DESCRIPTION:No schedule URL defined.\nFriday\, Sep 1 evening: 6-9 pm \nBeyond Chakras – the Sixteen Points of Energy \nThe Sanskrit word ‘Adhara’ means foundation\, base and support. The Siddha Yoga Tradition\, one of the most ancient albeit lesser known\, traditions of Yoga\, teaches about the sixteen (shodasha) vital points of Energy in our body. Each one of these sixteen points of Energy has its location\, focal point\, Chakra (Energy vortex)\, Padma (Purified Chakra)\, Tattva (Energy Principle)\, Mantra (Energy Vibration) and Bindu (Point of Infinitude). Seven of these Adharas are mentioned in other Yogic traditions such as Hatha Yoga\, as Chakras\, which are quite popular among modern Yoga practitioners. However\, mastery over all the sixteen Adharas along with their details is considered as vital in the Siddha Yoga tradition. So much so that\, some ancient yogic texts declare that a Yogi who doesn’t know the sixteen Adharas is a Yogi merely in name. \nIn this workshop\, Ram Vakkalanka is going to share the ancient wisdom about the sixteen Adharas. He will share a little about the ancient Siddha Yoga tradition\, the source of this wisdom. Then\, he will dive into the sixteen Adharas…their location\, focal point and the techniques of meditating on them. The workshop involves simple yoga postures\, Pranayama and guided meditations. Please dress comfortably. \n  \nABOUT RAM VAKKALANKA: \nRam Vakkalanka is an internationally recognized master of Yoga philosophy\, Nada Yoga\, Meditation and Sanskrit. He was born and brought up in India in a Yogic lifestyle. He grew up studying the Sanskrit language\, ancient scriptures such as Upanishads and practicing Mantra-chanting and Meditation since childhood. In his teens\, Ram started studying music through the Sitar\, which eventually blossomed into Nada Yoga. Simultaneous to Yogic education\, Ram also pursued mundane education\, amassed a few qualifications in Finance and worked in the upper echelons of Management in the corporate world in Singapore\, Africa\, USA and Canada. \nIt was in Canada\, Ram met his spiritual Guru and that meeting changed his life completely. In 2010\, Ram quit the corporate world and dedicated his life to spreading the sublime philosophy of Veda and Vedic sciences such as Astrology and Ayurveda. \nRam shares his deep knowledge of the Yoga philosophy\, Sanskrit\, Nada Yoga as well as Vedic sciences such as Ayurveda and Astrology with a global audience through workshops\, Retreats\, Podcasts as well as one-on-one sessions. He is often described as ‘a gift to the global Yoga community’\, given the breadth and depth of his wisdom as well as the authenticity\, humility and passion with which he shares it.  His teaching style is direct and simple but profound\, filled with current examples and humour. \nRam’s creations so far include 22 CDs in three languages\, one DVD and an online course about the origin and evolution of Yoga. \nFor more about Ram\, visit www.ramvakkalanka.com\, listen to his podcasts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify or connect with him on the social media (FB: Ram Vakkalanka\, IG: ram_vakkalanka)

SUMMARY:Meditation 1-Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A 1-Day Meditation Retreat\nThis 1-Day Retreat is a Meditation Immersion experience that focuses on accessing our real and essential nature\, our highest Self\, through a balanced integration of Inquiry\, Meditation and Vichara Yoga. This retreat is intended to reveal our pure\, true\, boundless nature\, and to allow that recognition to be a foundational and unchanged seeing. This is not intended as a momentary experience\, or a restful day\, but rather an invitation to Be as you truly are and to know that undoubtedly. \nEven though for 1 Day\, this retreat aims to create an experience similar to that of a solitary retreat\, in order to provide you with an opportunity to rest with yourself\, to give space for powerful inner reflection and to create a sense of internalization\, allowing for a blossoming of the Heart and Truth. The teachings will be a unique integration of Advaita Vedânta infused into seated and walking meditation\, yoga and contemplative talks. Participants will be lovingly guided and introduced to various self-inquiry pointings and inspired to integrate these into their lives to continue to reveal and get acquainted with the truth that emerges from within oneself. \nThis retreat will be guided by Tiffany\, who has spent her adult life immersed in self-inquiry\, silent retreats\, and with her own master teachers. Due to her own profound experiences and the insights gained through retreat periods of silence and self-reflection\, she is inspired to offer these revelatory silent retreats worldwide\, which have opened many peoples’ hearts to the joy of being. \n  \nRETREAT SCHEDULE:\n~ August 6th ~\nSunday:\n7:30-7:50 am – Arrival\, Settling In & Tea\n8-8:40 am – Meditation\n8:50-9:30 am – Meditation\n9:30-10:30 am – Yoga\n10:40-11:40 am – Brunch\n11:50-12:30 pm – Talk\n12:40-1:20 pm – Meditation\n1:30-2:10 pm – Walking Meditation\n2:20-3 pm – Meditation\n3-4 pm – Contemplative Integration\n4-4:40 pm – Meditation\n4:50-5:30 pm – Meditation\n5:30-6:30 pm – Dinner\n6:30-7:10 pm – Meditation\n7:20-8 pm – Dyad Meditation \n  \nNo previous meditation or yoga experience is necessary at all. \nNo experience in anything is necessary at all. \nCome as You Are. \n  \n“Look here and know who you are.  \nInstantly you will find freedom\, and this suffering will instantly stop.  \nThe only way is to look within.” \n– Papaji \n

Whether we are in an embodied asana (posture)\, or in the posture of life\, it is the Inquiry that guides us into presence with what is. This is where Yoga is known. \nIn Practice\, Vichara Yoga takes inspiration from the traditional path of Hatha Yoga\, encompassing a full-spectrum practice that includes Asana\, Shatkarma\, Pranayama\, Mudras\, Bandhas\, Meditation\, Ayurveda\, Chanting and beyond\, that are all done in the light of self-exploration and profound inner contemplation. The revelations seen on the mat are then integrated into every breath of life\, enlivening your full potentiality and awakening you to the Self. \nDuring this 5-Day Retreat you will be invited to dive fully and experientially into the yoga and meditation practice\, to gain an understanding of the foundational teachings that can be applied on and off the mat\, and to take home a daily practice that will be best aligned to your needs and intentions. You will also receive an Ayurvedic self-care routine and find ways to bring the gift of this healing wisdom into your days. \nVichara Yoga was founded by Tiffany after spending years living in the East\, immersed continuously in the depths of study and retreat with her master teachers. It is from this foundation\, and her own revelatory arisings\, that Vichara Yoga was born. \nThrough its accessible and comprehensive approach\, Vichara Yoga aims to bring you into contact with the classical teachings of Yoga\, so that we can truly taste the intrinsic joy\, peace and freedom that are revealed in and as this very moment. It stays true to the original intention of yoga to offer revelation and awakening\, and to inspire students to use the path of effortless abiding and self-awareness to uncover the deepest truth and most natural state. \nAll are welcome. \nDETAILS\nCE Credits: 50 hour CE for RYTs \n
