Classical Pranayama and Asana: Renewal of Peace through Practice

January 26 - February 2, 2013

with Elonne Stockton

About the Retreat

The beginning of the year is a great time to establish or reestablish our connection and dedication to practice. It is through our commitment to regular practice that we are able to enhance our lives, moving towards overall growth and positive development.

In this retreat, students will be given specific tools to work with and will leave with a clear direction, with a personal practice to keep up and grow with. Throughout the week we will develop our self-practice of yoga asana and breathwork - pranayama. And we will also take a deeper look at other elements of practice, like chanting and philosophy.

In the mornings there will bebreathwork - pranayama, mantra work and asana practice (led asana and self practice classes). In the afternoon we will have workshop and Q&A sessions, as well as pranayama and restorative asana classes. Some mornings there may be additional silent walks or walking meditations, and some evenings we will have optional meditation, satsang and other activities.

All levels are welcome. Please join us!

She has lived and taught in the Bahamas, Canada, India, the United States, and Taiwan where she has taught asana, pranayama, and meditation at yoga studios, ashrams, resorts, schools, orphanages, hospitals, and clinics.

Testimonials

Paul and all the teachers are not only knowledgable but are also very giving, I learned so much. Food was really yummy. General Manager is a nice guy, he knows his stuff. Truly appreciate everything.
Yvonne C., 2012

Hey Paul,
Many thanks to you and Jutima for your hospitality at your new place. It is absolutely brilliant; the best yoga centre I have ever been in for everything: the place, the food, the people, the atmosphere, the architecture, and most of all the quality of the yoga. Not only have you maintained the great feeling of the old place, you have gone way beyond it. It was such a privilege to be able to contribute to the opening.
Jack, Ireland 2009

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Paul for the retreat with Tiwari in March - it was wonderful.. The new place is just beauty, full of clear energy, and I felt so at home there. And the visit was yet again a turning point for me, as always.. time for big changes!
Anna L., Finland 2009

This is my first time ever doing a detox program and Samahita Yoga Thailand has definitely made it a very impressive experience. I've been inspired to live a healthier lifestyle and would surely share this life-changing experience with my loved ones. Thank you Samahita Yoga Thailand.
Supachai, Thailand 2011

I want to let you know that I am continually grateful for the opportunity that I had to study with you in Thailand. You are a truly inspiring teacher with a Presence that demands dedication and Being. Every day, I am thankful for you! Now that I am back in New York and fishing around for a similarly inspiring teacher with such a holistic approach, I find myself selfishly wishing that you were still here in the States.
Warm blessings,
Rachel, 2008
