Ashtanga ~ The Beginning ~ Breath & Body

In Person ~ Intimate Group: June 21st - July 11th 2026

Pondicherry, India

In The Beginning the New Body Comes in and the first thing it 'does' is Breathe!

That's where we Begin ~ Union of Body with Breath.

As we Shift in Consciousness we Shift into a New Physicality, in all ways, including The Body.

This Ashtanga is from the Beginning, and, or Beginning Again!

Although Yang, it is a Soft Strong!

This is about Embodiment, Inner Strength, and Stabilisation!

It will Affect And Activate on All Levels, the Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual!

We Meet In Person In Pondicherry on June 21st, Departure Day is July 11th

You will have 4 Blocks of 4 ~ 4 Days On followed by 1 Day Off

Remember the Highest part of this work begins (in advance) and continues (throughout) in The Ethers!

June 21st Check-In to our Private Villa

22 - 25 / 27- 30 / 02 - 05 / 07 - 10 ~ we meet through the Higher Realms through your Sleep State the night preceding followed by:

Morning Practices - Asana / Pranayama

Ashtanga & Pranayama Theory & Teachings

Spiritual, Human, Soul Sharings.

In the evening we have Pranayama Practice.

These are the physical waking hours we meet, you will need quiet time, some Self Practices & Study in the afternoons and then you rest, early to bed (remembering this is where a lot of the deeper work occurs).

26 / 01 / 06 are Rest and Integration and some time off in Nature & Local Culture.

(We have both Forest and Beach nearby).

July 11th Check-Out of our Villa

Although a Group Journey In Person and in The Ethers, this will also be an Individual Journey for you too.

You will be Practicing my variation of Mysore Style Ashtanga where you receive Individual Teaching & Guidance on Days 1-3 and a Led Style Ashtanga Class on Day 4.

There are 4 Blocks of 4.  Blocks 1-2 are soley, and Souly!, for You.  Block 3-4  is for You with a Teaching Twist! ~ There will be additional afternoon modules in these Blocks for the Yoga Teacher, the One Who Is, or Who Is Yet To Be-Come.  If you are not, or do not want to be a Yoga Teacher, these afternoon modules are not necessary yet they may be interesting, enjoyable and a fun way to learn more about and for yourself.  To receive the ESCE Certificate all modules must be completed.

Please note there is no focused 'anatomy and physiology' type module in this, and there never was in original Yoga Trainings, it's a Western addition and it is something you can easily study in your own free time.  (I have a couple of recommendations.)

This will not Be logical or linear but it will be brilliant!

Our Private Pool Villa

This is a 5 Bedroom Villa.

We have a Pool.  We have a Firepit for the evenings.  We have a Jazuzzi with Waterfall type feature! (more of a big bucket pour imo! (I Love India!)

We have a Kitchen, we each prepare and cook our own food, which I Am doing this way for a few Higher Reasons:

We each, more and more, have our own dietary & nutritional needs, that don't work as group, and are evolving within us.

Touch and Preparing your own food has an Energetic Quality to it - you Clear and Activate it!

On our first day I will bring you to local supermarkets, fruit & veg shops, and introduce you to local restaurants.

You can eat out, get take-out too, if you so choose.

There are both fans and aircon.

Included in Price:  Your Ashtanga & Inner Journey & Villa Accommodation.

Not Included in Price:  Flights, Transfers (assistance offered), Insurance, Food, Outings.

There are no Big Outings Included in this Journey as such, yet we will visit Matrimandir (Temple of The Mother)

(Of course we will go into nature together, out for Coffee and Chai! and food. Yet if you don't feel up to this that is ok.)

We are in a quiet private location yet you will hear sounds (traffic /India!) in the distance, and we are 5-15 minute walk from cafes and restaurants.  Tuk-Tuks are easy to come by as you step onto the roadside!  It will be Hot!

If you want to explore more I recommend taking a few days after your retreat to do so, not during, not the week before.

Keep this Journey for YourSelf for What It Is!
