The students here can learn about the best ways of instructing a yoga student which can enable them to become skilled yoga teachers in their own right. Atharv Yogshalas research-based Yoga Intensive 10 days retreat serves as the perfect yoga introduction for beginners as well as the perfect yoga immersion for those who have been practicing yoga for some time. This yoga intensive 10 days retreat at an atharvyogshala yoga retreat in Rishikesh, India introduces yoga in a profound and accessible way. This holistic and spiritual yoga program also offers more experienced students an immersion designed to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga. Participants in this 10 days yoga retreat will learn a wide variety of classical Hatha Yoga practices including yoga asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breath control), mudras (psychic gestures), meditation, and deep relaxation techniques. Traditional yogic detox practices will also be introduced including Jala neti (nasal passage cleansing), vaman & dhauti (stomach & esophagus cleansing), laghooshankhaprakshalana (intestinal cleansing), and trataka (gazing at a candle flame). Within a traditional atmosphere, atharvyogshala, Yoga Retreat teaches yoga using the age-old methods of the gurukula (traditional Indian teaching method) in an environment free from dogma. Yoga philosophy is an integral part of any yoga retreats at atharvyogshala Yoga Retreat. Fundamental to learning about yoga is an understanding of the ‘why’ behind any yogic practice. It is also crucial to understand that there is so much more to yoga than just the practice of asana (physical postures).
