6 Days Meditation and Yoga Retreat in Thailand

This program allows the earth, water, fire, air, and space elements to guide you to equilibrium of body and soul. In simple ways YogaBrus makes a blend of movements (asanas), breathing (pranayama), and meditation (silent stillness).

Samasthitiyoga

Samasthitiyoga is a nice blend of Hatha, Yang, and Yin. Everybody can join. Samasthiti means equal standing. The classes are designed around a series and a specific selection with room for some variation. YogaBrus focuses on the art of aligning all the poses from Samasthiti, working on external physical alignment to create a more subtle internal alignment. An endless process and exploration of inner peace.
