In Person | Online
Friday, September 12th - Sunday, September 14th, 2025
Join the Satyananda Yoga family for an in-depth exploration of the CHAKRAS - the subtle psychic centers of the personality - and the TATTWAS - the fundamental building blocks of the entire creation. Learn the relevance of these ancient yogic systems, and how a yogic lifestyle can help to bring them into harmony and balance, giving one access to greater overall health, vitality, clarity and inner peace.
Teachings will be drawn from the Bihar/ Satyananda Yoga Tradition and will include asana, pranayama, yoga nidra, mantra chanting, havan, satsang and kirtan.
This retreat is open to all participants, with the intent to support your existing yoga journey, providing classical yoga teachings and practices in a yogic environment led by experienced members of the Satyananda Yoga teaching community.
YANA is delighted to announce that Swami Anandananda, Acharya of the Satyananda Ashram in Italy, will be joining this event. A direct disciple of Swami Satyananda, he has dedicated his life to serving the yoga mission, bringing his Guru’s teaching around the world.
