TRANSFORMING THROUGH THE CHAKRAS…

is a holistic journey of inner and outer processes, reconnecting to Self more fully through more conscious yogic movements, mindful breathing and eating, meditation and connection to Nature!

Hickory on the Hill, Penang

In the 2.5 days together we will engage in:

* daily yoga – both gentle and active practices reflective of the various chakra energies;

* Different breathing exercises (pranayama) that help to relax and to activate your physical and energy system;

* conscious eating with healthy food and juices

* mindful walks, guided meditations, and relaxation;

* inner processes like inner dance and sacred movements;

* creative visualisation and visioning;

* quiet time and healing in lush nature!

 

CHAKRA ENERGY PROFILE

You will also each receive an Energy Profile review based on your birthdate following the Yantra Yoga system. This will help you understand your energy make up, and mental and emotional tendencies, so you can learn how best to respond to personal challenges and weaknesses and to build on your strengths. In addition, you will learn where you are in your life cycle following a 9 year numerological cycle. This helps balance your life purpose and actions according to a yin or yang year cycle, and living life with greater flow and ease!

YOGA is an ancient system of inner and outer practice for more balance in all aspects of life. It is a well tested tradition that provides an inner technology to recalibrate your physical, mental, emotional and energy bodies so you feel more complete as a Spiritual Being in a human body.

Use this retreat to renew, reset and re-energise from within, and learn a few techniques that you can also take home to continue your practice after the retreat.

A CHARMING VENUE

We have chosen a wonderful venue; an amazing Space in nature that is nurturing, peaceful and pleasing to all the senses with a wonderfully high vibration and life force to re-energise your whole Being.

TRANSPORT UP THE HILL

Jeep service up the hill to Hickory Bungalow will be organised for those wanting a jeep ride up and back down the hill. The cost of the whole jeep is RM200 both ways and will be an additional cost. Four to five persons can fit into the jeep depending on the amount of luggage so you can share out the cost of the jeep among yourselves. You will need to inform the organiser ahead of time if you wish to hire the jeep service so we can group people together at the same time. We will arrange for participants to meet at the Botanical Gardens Friday afternoon (time to be determined). The same will be arranged for the group at the end of the retreat to return on Sunday late afternoon or early evening.

If you prefer to take the funicular train up to Hickory Bungalow, you will need to get off at the Lower Tunnel Station and follow the sign for a 5 minute walk. Note that the trains can be busy during the weekends and potentially on a Friday afternoon given that Monday 21 Jan is a public holiday. Give yourself ample time to get the train up. It is advisable that you start your journey from the foot hill at least 2-3 hours before our meeting time at 5pm. All ticket purchases require proof of identification.
