Three Day Still Water Retreats

The “3-Day Still Waters Retreats” at Nahyeeni Lodge will guide participants into a holistic approach of balancing body, mind and spirit. Maintaining a quiet Zen healing atmosphere, it will give a 48 hour rest to the body and mind, healing Ayurveda foods and experience of deep stillness based on a closely guided yogic lifestyle. Participants will learn simple practices they can do back home.

Yoga sessions:  The morning and evening yoga sessions will be based on Ashtanga style  including physical poses (asana) at different levels, breath control (pranayama), sense control, (pratyahara),  mental concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana), guided deep relaxation (yognidra). No prior yoga experience needed.

Deep Relaxation and Healing: Through each day there will be additional deep relaxation sessions including guidance into the special yogic experience of psychic sleep – a tranquil state where the body is asleep while the mind remains fully aware but without thought – this is a deeply restful and healing state.

Discourses and training: Interested participants will learn yogic techniques for energy cultivation, taming the mind and dealing with stressful situations , chakra work and self healing. They will also learn basic principles of Ayurveda and begin to develop a sense of their dominant energetic constitution (dosha), how to use natural foods for healing and balancing themselves.

 
Meals and Ayurvedic Balancing . Healthy, delicious and healing vegetarian foods  will include 3 main meals and at least 2 daily snacks as needed.  Based on ayurvedic principles, the food will mostly be tri-doshic ( not significantly affecting any of the three doshas – vata, pita or kapha). Registered participants will have chance to communicate their current physical and mental state and any health concerns prior to the retreat after which the meals will be designed accordingly. At the retreat any participants needing to balance or correct some health condition will be intimately guided on how to choose and combine their foods in any one meal.
