Yoga Asana - Balance. Ground. Align.

Your body opens with a gentle practice given the restriction of thin air and oxygen in Ladakh. But given the magical surroundings, the mental noise begins to fade away. And you feel what it means to be present and awake.

In the stillness of nature, you hear your soft inner voice - your inner knowing. You are filled with a sense of wellbeing and openness.

You leave the mat to become one with nature, ready to experience an outdoor adventure. You learn to be present, to trust, and to feel the vast expanse of who you really are, one with nature and the sacred and subtle energies of the universe.

Pranayama & Meditation - Breathe. Relax. Focus.

You learn to connect with your vital life force that is the very essence of your being. You learn to relax the mind, and to develop a more mindful state of being, becoming present to everything within you and around you.

As your mind learns to relax and focus, you move your gaze inwards to connect with your inner self. You experience the vast essence of who you truly are. You realize you are not an isolated being, but feel the interconnectedness to everything around you, as you become one with the magical surroundings.

Living Yoga Course - Inquire. Connect. Aspire.

You learn about the ancient science behind the practice. You discover how to implement this ancient wisdom to yourself and to your daily life.

You develop a deeper understanding of your mind, and how to work with its limitations and to go beyond the incessant noise.

As this process unfolds, you feel the most alive you have ever been in years. Inspired, you create a new vision for yourself and your dreams, forming a path for yourself that feels much more aligned with your soul.

You reclaim your CONFIDENCE, your CLARITY, your COURAGE, and your VISION.

Food - Replenish. Rejuvenate. Energize.

You enjoy the local Ladakhi cuisine. Most of the population of Ladakh is engaged in agriculture activities and produce raw food for the preparation of their traditional dishes.

Vegetables such as pumpkins, potatoes, beans, and beetroots are cooked in different ways. Thukpa and Skyu (made of wheat flour), khambir (local bread) and Pava (made of sattu) are the staple food of the people of Ladakh. Varieties such as Tsampa, Cholak, Thukpa, and Mok-Mok are also the specialty of the Ladakhi Cuisine.
