YOGA & “THE GOLDEN BREATH” AT TRIKALA CORINTHIAS! 3-DAY RETREAT
NOVEMBER 13-15, 2020
Embrace autumn on the mountain of Zeria at Trikala Corinthias (Trikala means: three times good)! Rejuvenate and empower yourself with Yoga, Qigong, Breathing, Meditation & Relaxation. In this 3-day event, we will focus on “The Golden Breath”… the vital breath that cultivates health, tranquility, joy and concentration. We will be in nature for the morning practices as autumn has the best colours and smells.
In TCM autumn corresponds to the Lungs and Large Intestine as lungs bring the nutritious Prana in the organism and discard along with the large intestine all unnecessary waste. Proper, conscious and complete breathing in the lungs contributes to a clear mind, fresh ideas, improved communication and better health!
This is the season where nature prepares for winter by being more internal, centralised and reflective as it leaves behind the openness and expansion of summer. In our lives, it is a reflection of growing from youth to maturity where we leave behind all unnecessary physical and psychological baggage and as we mature, we keep what is essentially needed for winter. Autumn is the season for contemplation for deeds done as well as for decisions for what needs to be done. This is achieved through internalisation, introspection and meditation.
You will learn tools and techniques to cleanse and strengthen your physical energy, emotional resilience, mental clarity and overall vitality. You will learn to manage your personal energy under all conditions of life. You will exercise, walk, meditate and relax in nature, freeing your mind and coming closer to the reality as it is. The result is an experience of joy, peace, compassion and love that stays with you in all of life’s situations.

Just 25 min from the coast of Peloponnese and at 1100 meters altitude, near to the Ski Chalet with the grandiose pines, the orthodox monastery of St, Vlasios and the Lake Dasiou. The Buddhist Stupa and the Lakes Stymphalia and Doxa are longer destinations that definitely worth visiting!
