June 22 - June 29, 2013:
Ubud-Bali
Beyond The Asana, Emil's Bali Yoga Retreat 2013
This annual retreat is held at the Ananda Cottages in lovely Ubud. There is nothing quite like Yoga in Bali - there is deep spirituality, there is magic and there is charm. And in our case a Yoga studio overlooking the rice fields and distant volcanoes.
The morning program combines the laying out of a daily Yantra with flowers, Pranayama and meditations at dawn, the delight of Indian Raga while having early tea, followed by a 2 hrs Asana sequence. The afternoons introduce elements of Yoga philosophy, and a topic of the day which varies between the practice of Mantras, Mudras, Kriya Yoga and Dharana in the Tantric tradition. Also part of it is the practice of Mouna (silence).
The renown sitar-player and classical vocalist Sebastian Dreyer will be setting the mood for the pre-dawn Sadhana - it is surely a rich offering!
The course then ends with paying respect to the spiritual environment with a private ceremony at night in one of the temples or shrines near Ubud.
Please note that the retreat starts in the late afternoon of the 22nd, and ends at noon on the 29th June.
Recommended Retreat!

Mondsee near Salzburg, Austria
Asanas And Beyond, with Emil Wendel and Jack Harrison
This retreat is designed to immerse the practitioners into both a stimulating postural practice, and the magic that lies beyond the physical aspects of Yoga. We start early with pre-dawn meditation and Pranayama, followed by a 2 hrs Asana sequence. Also part of it is the practice of Mouna (silence) during the mornings. The afternoons introduce elements of yogic philosophy, and a topic of the day that varies between the practice of Mantras, Mudras, and Kirtan. Another part of this workshop is the encounter with Nada sound that goes to the centre core. Emil is accompanied by the very accomplished musician Jack Harrison. Jack weaves pure magic into music and Mantras! Postures are presented on levels that do justice to both more advanced practitioners and beginning students that have had some prior exposure to postural Yoga. This retreat is for those that wish to search deeper into the spaces within.
