In ancient times exercise and meditation were inseparable pathways to awareness. Today, the powerful techniques of mindful yoga, breathing, and meditation help us balance the demands of daily life. Thus, offering lasting holistic benefits for the body, mind, and spirit.

When we cultivate the wisdom of our body and mind through movements practices, breathing exercises, and meditation, we invite peace of mind.

Hence, we offer this mindfulness meditation and yoga practice in the magical setting of Bhutan. Whereby you can unwind, relax and come into a more integrated relationship with yourself and your world.

Each day of the retreat begins with a morning practice of sitting/sound Meditation. After spending the day exploring the religious and cultural riches of Paro you will then return to your hotel for deep relaxation. Moreover, the evening sessions include talks on how you can incorporate mindfulness practices in daily life, discussion, meditation, and reflection.

In sitting practice inner silence and stillness develop, concentration deepens, and awareness expands. Gradually begin the meditation with awareness of breath and opens to include mindfulness of all experiences, external and internal, of body sensations and emotions, of thoughts and the nature of mind.

Just as in sitting meditation, where attention is brought to the rhythmic patterns of breathing, Walking meditation requires one to walk while becoming aware of your surrounding, the sounds, the environment and the illusionary nature of the externalities and try to bring the mind inwards.
