    Food for Thought

    Tears are our birthright. The purpose of yoga is to know thyself. If thyself is having a moment of shimmering depression, let's look at it, then let it go. - Lilias Folan

    A YOSSUM Group Retreat is designed for men and women ready to take the next step towards a deeper understanding of themselves as well as their yoga & meditation practice. Whether it is your 1st or 100th step, you will be gently guided by deeply caring and experienced teachers.

    At the core of every YOSSUM Group Retreat are the four pillars of the YOSSUM Process—Yoga Asana Practice, Silence Practice, Self-Understanding and Meditation. Self-Understanding is the brilliant gem that distinguishes a YOSSUM Group Retreat from a typical yoga holiday.

    Self-Understanding and Meditation with Ma Prem Kali

    Ma Prem Kali will engage, provoke and touch you with her Self-Understanding Workshops during the group retreat. It is here that insights about yourself and your behavioral patterns come to light. Self-Understanding brings the unconscious to the conscious. Kali is an expert in the Enneagram system of personality types and will share with you the great advantages and pitfalls we each have within our particular personality structure. She helps you understand that your personality need not imprison you.

    Additionally, to take the workshop insights further and to apply them to your life situation, Kali offers private Self-Understanding Sessions that you can book during or in advance of the retreat. Time and again, most participants reflecting back on their YOSSUM Process agree that their private sessions with Kali were a highlight in their retreat journey.

    Kali is a long time practitioner and teacher of meditation. The lion’s share of her 14 years living in Asia she dedicated to meditation practice. On group retreats, participants gather for sitting practice twice daily under Kali’s clear instructions and gentle guidance. As your awareness of yourself and the present moment develop over the course of the week, you awaken to the serenity of your heart. For more details on Meditation Guidance, please click here.

    Yoga Asana Classes with Lori Sjollema

    Plenty of time is set aside for yoga asana group classes held each morning and each afternoon with Lori Sjollema (www.yoga-in-marbella.net), a highly experienced teacher who will guide and lead you through your practices with care, wisdom and attention. She teaches a Vinyasa-style Yoga with great respect to alignment, the breath and the benefits of restorative postures. Her intention is to initiate a harmonious flow, strength and lightness in the body, ease the mind and uplift the spirit. Embrace the flow of Yoga with Lori as she integrates a deep understanding of alignment, breath awareness, intuition and opening of the heart.

    If you are having difficulties in your practice and need more individualized attention, private yoga sessions are also available with Lori upon request during the Yoga Retreat.

    Silence Practice

    Silence is powerful. Silence raises your meditation and yoga asana practice to an entirely different level. Kali was in silence often during the 7 years she lived in the Indian Himalaya. She understands from direct experience the many benefits and advantages of Silence Practice. Kali will carefully prepare the entire group for a short period of Silence during the week—typically 24 hours. It is a time extremely valued by our participants. Kali and the YOSSUM Team will hold a container for you where it is safe to stay and look at yourself in silence.

    Available Therapies

    As well as the daily program, there will be time for rest, enjoying nature or making the most of the therapies available. Advanced booking for therapies is recommended when you fill-out your Booking Form.

    Self-Understanding Sessions with Ma Prem Kali

    Highly recommended to deepen your YOSSUM Process. You will experience Kali’s remarkably effective two-fold therapeutic method, which combines her unique no-nonsense spiritual guidance and her own, personally designed Self-Understanding Concept. Bring new light and understanding to your current issues and discover the unconscious motivations to your behavioral patterns.

    Transformative Rolf Sessions
    Rolf Method of Structural Integration with Heath Wilson

    Rolf Sessions improve posture and reduce pain at the root-cause level, yielding lasting result. Rolf Sessions re-balance the body via precise manual manipulation of the client's connective tissue. There are no adjustments of the bones involved, although the skeletal system becomes more aligned. Movement awareness education is part of Rolf Sessions, which helps clients maintain the benefits received during the manual work of the session. Not only will you stand taller but you will fly higher on your yoga mat after a Rolf Session. A mini-series of 3 sessions is recommended for maximum structural change during your retreat. Heath has been working professionally as a Rolf Practitioner for over 13 years.

    Massage Therapy with Lori Sjollema

    In addition to being a gifted yoga teacher, Lori also has healing hands. Her training and experience in Massage therapy and Thai Yoga Massage enables her to assist her clients to overcome pains and fears and create more flexibility and freedom of movement within their bodies not too mention relaxes, soothes and energizes! A special treat after a Yoga Class.

    "This week surpassed my expectations. The excellent instructions, explanations and in depth understanding of Hatha Yoga gave me a rounded yet physically challenging week. Kali's wisdom on meditation and compassionate understanding was a wonderful experience."
    - Pratibha Parmar - UK 

     

    "Thank you very much for this retreat. The silence is one of the best things that I have done in my life. I have never felt so close to myself before. It's wonderful to have no pressure to talk to anyone, no pressure to have an 'opinion' over anything. Thank you for bringing this 'moment' in my life.
    Lots of love." Alisha Arora - UK
