Agni is the energy available within us to transform what we consume (food, stimuli, impressions, thoughts, ...) into something usable. Agni is the force of intelligence within each cell, each tissue, and every system within the body. Ultimately, it is the discernment of Agni that determines which substances enter our cells and tissues, and which substances should be removed as waste.

When Agni is balanced, it tends to support strong immunity, and a long, healthy life. The core Agni is Jathara Agni: our digestive force. A balanced Agni also adds a certain fragrance to our lives that makes the whole experience more enjoyable, more tasty. Agni, in essence, is a transformative force.

The Retreats aim at

• Ignite and balance your digestive force with specific Kriyas, Pranayam and Meditation.
• Reconnect to your core, to gain stability and clarity.
• Tune into the Spring Energy, while keeping your nervous system balance and flexible.
• Step into Shunia / Shunya (शून्य). It literally means zero, emptiness, or void. In yogic practice, it does not imply nothingness in the negative sense, but rather a state of pure potential, beyond dualities and limitations. It is the silence between thoughts, the still point where the ego (identifications and attachments) dissolves, and one becomes receptive to the infinite. It is where the practitioner is neither projecting outward nor collapsing inward but resting in perfect neutrality.
