The Gathering • An online Yoga Retreat
Live event: 6–8 January 2023 • Free and only online
Join this 3-day Yoga retreat from your home to cultivate unconditional contentment.
The yogic teaching that contentment is there for you, at any time, without any reason, no matter the circumstances is an ancient concept that we often forget easily. Join us for a free online retreat to remember how to access this sweet ground of our being: unconditional contentment. We provide you tools to be okay with anything life comes up with.
This weekend, hosted by ineayoga School Corfu, is a journey for you to unmask happiness, a perspective of living that will give you more relaxation and stress-release on a sustainable basis. We gathered a few exquisite yoga teachers and mindfulness experts to guide you through yoga practices, workshops and sessions to cultivate a deeper understanding of how to access this peaceful place of nurturing contentment.
