YOGA & “THE GOLDEN BREATH” AT TRIKALA CORINTHIAS! 3-DAY RETREAT
OCTOBER 18-20, 2019
Embrace autumn on the mountain of Zeria at Trikala (three times good) Corinthias! 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.
Autumn is the season where nature prepares for winter by being more internal, centralised and reflective as it leaves behind the openneness 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. In TCM this season corresponds to 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!
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. As a result, the capacity to experience joy, peace, compassion and love in most life situations will increase.

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!
