One-Day
Retreat (Immersion Program)
What is a Classical Yoga Immersion Program?
This is a full day to
give you a good taste of the whole discipline of Classical Yoga. You will learn
a lot more about meditation than in a regular class. You will learn about the ancient texts on
which Classical Yoga is based, and learn some of the other less common
aspects of Yoga, such as dharana, or mind stretching exercises. You will
certainly learn the difference between an ordinary mental outlook and an
enlightenment-oriented outlook. Along with that, you will get work in asana,
to keep the body comfortable during the day.
I don’t want to
do heaps of physical yoga!
Can people come who are
interested in the enlightenment teachings of Classical Yoga but who are not
interested at present in the physical work of asana? Or those who can do some
hatha yoga but not too much? Yes! There will be alternatives for those who do
not wish to work in asana.
What about prospective
Teacher Trainees?
This will be an excellent
sampler of the Teacher Training course. Although it is not in itself teacher
training material, the immersion program will give you a very good insight
into the discipline of Classical Yoga. Current Yoga Teachers or Teacher
Students are encouraged to take these programs, too. Your understanding of
Yoga will increase significantly.
How many Immersion
Programs are there?
The programs are all self
contained but vary from one to another in focus. Every time you come to one
you go away enriched by deeper understanding of self, being and reality.
How much time does it
take?
The program starts at
7.30 am concluding at 4.30 pm, and includes complimentary breakfast at 8.30
(BYO lunch). If you do not want to start early at 7.30, you could start at
9.00 for the first session after breakfast.
Where can I attend?
Melbourne Only.
Australian College of Classical Yoga.
How much does it cost?
Fee $135 (includes GST)
Forthcoming Immersion Days: Sunday 14th June, 2009
Theme: Vicara – Self Investigation
Patanjali reminds us that
thoughts are only neurons flashing off, and they cannot give us an experience
of reality. And yet, we totally feel the
effects of our thoughts, we relate to each other through our thoughts and
feelings. Supposing it were possible
to make ourselves more conscious of the effects of our thoughts and feelings,
and to live with full awareness? Fully aware both of the personal impact of
our thinking processes, and also of the fact that thoughts do not encompass
reality? How would you experience yourself then, and how would others
experience you?
Our investigation will be
loosely modeled on the Shiva Process developed by Mataji’s guru, Swami
Shankarananda.

Week-long Retreat – Mission Beach, Queensland
Enjoy a week of asana,
meditation and a week of yogic living in the settings of Sanctuary Retreat
Centre at Mission Beach, south of Cairns.
Sanctuary retreat centre is
located near Mission Beach, a two hour drive south of Cairns. Arrive on Saturday during daylight hours
and the program starts formally on Sunday July 5.
While we are unwinding
and relaxing in this beautiful setting, and tuning into the rhythms of nature,
we can let go of our conditioning that covers over Truth, so that we shine
with the light of the Self. We will
explore this authentic self day to day, and figure out how to integrate this
Being into our daily relationships, discussions, workplace, and family. If we have found a transformed way to
‘Be’, does this leave us at odds with everyone else? We will explore compassion and empathy and
the ability to allow others to be on their own path too.
When: 4-12 July, 2009
Where: Sanctuary Retreat and
Eco-lodge, Mission Beach, Queensland.
How Much: $795
(includes accommodation). Deposit of
$250 is required by April 30, 2009.
