As part of this inaugural retreat, Ayus Wellness has invited one of the region’s most renowned Yoga Masters, Mme. Shilpa Ghatalia to lead the program.
AWE guests will enjoy a rare opportunity to be introduced to a way of practicing Yoga that will revolutionize both your understanding and personal practice. Developed by master teacher Shilpa over her 30 years of devotion to the Yogic way of life, this Integrative Yoga is uniquely tailored to each person’s individual needs and body, providing both experts and beginners with sequences for daily practice. Shilpa’s personalised teaching style will complement any yoga practice that you may have already established and profoundly change the way you approach yoga.
Shilpa’s Integrative Yoga is equally conducive to beginners and experts as it introduces a unique spine-centered practice, which enables participants to delve into any pose without causing harm to their bodies. Integrative Yoga combines special breathing practices and teaches you how to “flow” into poses with a fluidity and freedom which will turn your Yoga practice into meditation in movement, enabling you to experience a new way of ‘homecoming’ as you connect to the timeless bliss within.
