What can I expected from the private retreat offering?

The private retreat offering is your 1 to 1 Initiation into all important cornerstones of a fruitful Yoga practice. This is the perfect opportunity to kick-start your Yoga practice if you are beginner, or complement your established practice with missing parts. That being said, the exact layout and schedule will vary, depending on the individual goals and needs, which will be determined upfront.

Who is the private retreat for?

This offering is suitable for you if you have the earnest desire to learn the fundamental principles and practices of Yoga and receive your Initiation closer to how Yoga was passed on to disciples in the ancient ways. Before Yoga became popular in the West, Initiation (or dīkṣā) was often given 1 to 1 and included a period of testing, preparation and purification of the student before deeper practices were passed on to the student. In this spirit a mandatory deep conversation, in which we will find out if this offering is a good fit for you, is held before this offering can be agreed on.

How long does the private retreat last?

The exact number of days is subject to agreement but is capped to a maximum of 40 days in a row.

How much does the private retreat cost?

The exact monetary compensation is determined during the preliminary conversations and will vary depend on how long the retreat will take place. For 1 week you can roughly calculate 1000€. This includes Initiation & Guidance as well as accommodation at the Ashram with all meals included.

Who is giving the Initiation?

Your Initiation will be given by Thomas Ender, the founder and Ashram Keeper of the Bliss of Kundalini Ashram.
