Teacher: Sushmitha Shrikanth
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R350 surcharge
Dates:
 Through a merging of concepts from Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and Vedanta Philosophy, this retreat explores deepening your understanding of yoga beyond asanas. We will uncover how the practice of yoga postures can be a gateway to understanding the subtle interplay between our physical actions and mental states through a variety of lectures, reflection exercises, group discussions and breathwork sessions. The aim is to view asanas not merely as physical shapes, but as embodiments of our mental states. The weekend is ideal for those interested in bringing ancient wisdom to modern times through a time-tested self-practice method or Sadhana (spiritual training) to serve as an antidote to our distracted lives.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Sushmitha Shrikanth is an Ashtanga Yoga Teacher from Chennai, India with over a decade of practice and teaching experience under her belt. She formalised her training in Hatha Yoga at Kaivalyadhama, one of the oldest and most renowned yoga schools in India and spent several summers studying Indian philosophy at Vedanta Academy, alongside a degree in Western Philosophy from the University of London.
She is a 500HR (RYT) and 200HR (AYI) certified teacher and is one of the youngest Indians to have completed Intermediate Series in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga directly under the late Sharath Jois in Mysore, the lineage holder of the Ashtanga Tradition. At the age of 23, she travelled across East Africa to work for an NGO delivering yoga training to refugee women at UN projects, orphanages, sober houses and the like. She has been featured in national newspapers for her work and has programs on major TV service providers like Tata Sky Fitness and Dish TV.
