Who are 121 Yoga Immersion Intensives for?

Personal Yoga Immersion Retreats are available for students or teachers, with specific interests or personal needs, 
wishing to explore the advantages of working with Yoga or Chanting within a short-term practice and study retreat context.

Traditionally Yoga was taught to adults on a one-to-one basis within a personal intensive context and this is still seen as a uniquely important way to explore our Yoga practice and study.

“Whether or not I like it, I should know where I am.
Otherwise we try to draw the line from where we are not to where we want to be.”
– TKV Desikachar

Whether your interest is Yoga as:

A number of personal meetings over two or more days offer time to develop and deepen all aspects of your Yoga practice and study.

Here time can be given to exploring your needs, interests and possibilities and developing Yoga practices 
appropriate to your lifestyle, history, experience and commitment.

“The target of Yoga is ‘Svatantra’,
which means to discover our own technique.

‘Sva’ means itself and ‘Tantra’ means technique.
The techniques are in oneself and we must discover them;
if not we will depend on others. I am sick and I go to the doctor;
but finally I must become my own therapist. This is ‘Svatantra’.”
– TKV Desikachar

A Live or Online Personalised Intensive Structure for a Yoga Practice and Study Immersion Sādhana involves choosing to offer yourself space, time and relative seclusion from the more usual everyday needs and responsibilities.

This would need to be arranged beforehand, either as a self-created study and practice space within your own home surroundings or meeting at my home in the Cotswolds, with its country setting and retreat atmosphere. If the latter, there are a number of countryside accommodation options nearby, all within a pleasant 15-minute stroll from my home.

Either way, we would need to personalise a schedule for our time together. If for example, in the Cotswolds, it can take the form of 2-3 hour meeting in the morning followed by a walk through the lanes for lunch together at a nearby country mill. After a break, we meet again later in the afternoon for a further 1-2 hours of lessons. If in your own landscape, then building in extra practice time and free time would form an important aspect of your daytime focus.

Also, to ensure a focus and quality of contact from my side I prefer not to accept other students during our time together. This may well need to be a consideration within your own working relationship environment.

An Online Personalised Intensive Structure for a Yoga Practice and Study Immersion Sādhana would involve an initial discussion to explore how we might sufficiently replicate some of the qualities arising from a live meeting within our respective lifestyles.

Live or Online Fees for 121 lessons

Live or Online 121 Free eMeeting for your Questions

A free half-hour is offered in the spirit of engaging and attending to your questions and offers, as an experienced guide, what I can from my long studies with my teacher. These one-off meetings are free of any future obligation and are merely a means to yatter around Yoga for me to understand your questions better in order to respond more clearly.

If you are interested then please do contact me and from there we can set up a meeting to chat about options or discuss your needs and requirements regarding one-to-one online eLearning. Follow this link for further information on Free Personal Online Meetings or to arrange an online meeting please use the contact page or email me.
