Remaining in the unshakable Knowing.
Yoga and Meditation Retreat with Manuela Peverelli accompanied by Maureen Genner for Mantra chanting

This holistic Yoga Retreat is an invitation to step away from the busyness of daily life and return to a state of inner harmony amidst the turmoil of a modern lifestyle. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the East, we will explore the various strands of Yogic practice and rediscover the unshakable knowing that underlies all experiences.

The aim is to recognize every practice as an invitation to rest in the ever-present awareness that is untouched by change, doubt, or striving. Through guided and silent meditation, contemplative dialogues, and an expanded body awareness cultivated through the practice of Asanas, we will gently awaken to the effortless peace that is always within us. This retreat is yet another opportunity to recognize what has never been lost and this sacred space offers the opportunity to surrender and simply be.

Nestled in a restorative environment, supported and uplifted by a Sangha of like-minded individuals, nourished by wholesome food, and guided with sensitivity and a sense of humor, this Mandali Retreat provides the perfect setting for both transformation and regeneration. As we move through this journey together, we cultivate not only personal well-being, but also a deeper connection to life itself.

DESCRIPTION
In this Yoga and Meditation Retreat all practices, such as Asana, Pranayama, Meditation and Chanting, aim to liberate any destructive attachments and strong sense of self-identification. We will hold silence all the way until lunch time and again after the evening Meditation & Chanting. Every morning we contemplate another heart-mind quality, which we intend to embody as well in the Asana practice.

The Asana practices – in the morning invigorating and empowering, in the afternoon gentle and restoring – emphasize the embodiment of the unobstructed awareness. Asanas are a great learning field, for acknowledging letting things be.

This Retreat is suitable for students with a regular Yoga practice of minimum two years and the readiness and interest in subtle practices like Meditation and Pranayama.

All classes will be taught in English.

In this Retreat, for the third time, Maureen Genner, a Kirtan singer and close friend of Manuela, will share her love and talent for expressing the spiritual path through singing and music.

Lena Alger, another highly valued companion of Manuela, will once again assist the retreat with her skilled bodywork and compassionate heart, offering Yoga Thai massages between the Yoga sessions.

Price per person for the tuition (excl. accommodation and meals): Euro 620.

Accommodation and food need to be booked & paid separately, directly at Mandali.
