YOSSUM Retreats in the Himalayas
Ladakh - India
August 20 to 30, 2012
Over the years, many of our students have expressed a deep wish to combine participating in a transformative retreat process with a well-organised visit to India, Yoga's birth-place. We are blessed that after lots of careful planning and with the help from our friends in India, we are able to offer a unique Yoga & Meditation Retreat in such a perfect location.
We have been positively surprised with the demand for this retreat, this retreat books fast. In August 2012 we will be offering the retreat in Ladakh once again.
Imagine waking up to the sight of pristine Indian Himalayan mountain peaks and then taking your first crisp conscious breath of the day, before sauntering to the meditation hall to greet your inner-self. If this sounds like a perfect way to start your day, then read on...
We will be journeying to Ladakh in the Indian Himalayas. Located in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh borders Tibet’s Autonomous Region in the east and is still one of the few places on the planet where meditation is alive and practiced by thousands every day.
Kali, the Yossum founder, has lived close to Ladakh for 7 years and it is a total joy for her to take people to that magical, mystic place. This is a truly exquisite opportunity to experience yoga, meditation in the power of the Himalayan mountains. Please note that we are not a holiday-yoga-tour operator, we specially designed this retreat to provide you with the best possible guidance by two very experienced teachers of Yoga and Meditation as well as creating the practical steps to give you a gentle experience of India and Ladakh. This retreat is suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners of yoga and meditation.
"We never become truly spiritual by sitting down and wishing to become so. You must undertake something so great that you cannot accomplish it unaided."
