The Yogi’s Toolbox
Urban Retreat: Opening the Yogi’s toolbox
OmYoga, Molde, Norway
June 16 - 21
This week-long urban retreat leading up to a Solstice and International Yoga Day celebration, offers an overview of self-care skills from the world of yog.
The first session on Sunday, (a complete workshop to itself) introduces each topic that will be covered in depth during the following evenings:
Yogic and Ayurvedic self-care:
Sunday June 16 th 🌸 10 am to 1:00pm
This 3-hour session will begin with locating our practices in the greater worldview and philosophy of Yog. We will then explore attitudes of engagement and distinguish what non-judgemental ‘being with’ is and how to do it with our self. We will learn what yogic examination is, the logic that governs this Swadhyay, or self-study (which includes completing an ayurvedic questionnaire). Following that, an overview of the 4 upcoming sessions’ techniques, and the 4 skills that will be covered in depth in the
evening sessions. We look at 4 areas:
Monday evening: 7-9pm
body awareness – yoga
Tuesday evening: 7-9pm
breath/mind – pranayam and study
Wednesday evening: 7-9pm
creativity, joy – chanting and mantra
Thursday evening: 7-9pm
meditation and transcendence
We will discuss how they each pertain to self-care and when they may be useful tools, and how best
to include them in the common moments of daily life.
This session will include a little restorative yoga to embody the non-judgemental examination and learn the first of the self-scan techniques that this week retreat offers. Also, because it is yummy!
This urban retreat culminates in an evening of chanting by Satroopa and Eva Julia :
Chanting Concert Friday June 21 st 🌸 7-9:30 pm
An evening of celestial songs is offered, followed by a home-made Indian vegetarian meal.
Come celebrate International Yoga Day and the spring solstice with Eva Julia and Satroopa chanting ancient yogic mantras with a modern feel, interlaced with small moments of quiet stillness.
Welcome 🙏
