Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior pranayama experience? ▼
No prior pranayama experience is required. The retreat starts with foundational techniques and progressively moves to advanced practices. Teachers provide individual attention and modifications based on your level.
Is this retreat physically demanding? ▼
Pranayama is primarily seated practice, so it's not physically strenuous like asana practice. However, it can be mentally and energetically intense as you work with subtle energies. Proper guidance ensures safe practice.
Will I learn to establish a daily pranayama practice? ▼
Yes! One of the key goals is helping you develop a sustainable home practice. You'll receive guidance on sequencing, timing, and creating a personal sadhana that fits your lifestyle.
Are there any health conditions that prevent participation? ▼
Certain conditions like pregnancy, heart issues, high blood pressure, or respiratory problems may require modifications. Please inform us of any health conditions when booking so we can provide appropriate guidance.
