Pranayama & Pratyahara
13-15 March, 2026
Held at the spectacularly beautiful Mandala Yoga Ashram in South Wales. This long weekend retreat will give you a understanding and experience of Pranayama and Pratyahara in a way you are unlikely to have experienced before.
At one time these two arts were the very centre of yoga practice. To be able to control prana, for health, healing, longevity, and even out of body experience was the foundation of yoga practice. To control the senses (Pratyahara) was so synonymous with yoga that in the Upanisads yoga was defined as restraining the senses.
Drawing from tantra and the Dattatreya Yoga shastra this weekend retreat will initiate or remind you of the life in every breath, and to improve the relationship with life through the breath and senses.
