Give yourself the joy of time and space to slow down and go within.
You are warmly invited to participate in a unique weekend retreat, combining the active physical aspects of hatha yoga asanas with the spiritual benefits of shared deep internal stillness. Through gentle movement and focused meditation we will experiment with knowing ourselves in our original eternal state of silent bliss.
Facilitator: Kim has been practising and studying Raja Yoga with the Brahma Kumaris for 18 years, beginning at 16 years of age. She has facilitated over 50 retreats and courses around Australia and internationally. Kim has also been teaching Hatha Yoga classes in Sydney for the last 8 years. She lives in Bondi Beach and continues her personal practice every day and night.
Please note: Participants should be injury-free and able to sit comfortably cross-legged on the floor or on a cushion.
