Nature Yoga Retreat with Swami Karma Karuna

It is all about our Ecology

Yoga Ecology is the focus on this “connect with nature retreat. ” It aims to teach us to reconnect with nature and understand the deeper connection between us as individuals and our shared shoe system. Classical yoga helps us develop a heightened awareness of ourselves and our surroundings. During the retreat, ecology and traditional yoga techniques are combined with rituals that strengthen our connection to nature. The retreat is held in English by Swami Karma Karuna; she is a down-to-earth and authentic teacher who creates a connection between traditional yoga techniques, Western psychology and brain science in her teaching.
