SWAN
Yoga Retreat is a place where we believe in the philosophy "Yujjayete
Anena Iti Yoga" "That which joins all is Yoga". At SWAN Yoga Retreat we
follow a Yogic lifestyle as propagated by our Guru.
At SWAN Yoga
Retreat we strive to bring all the elements of yoga together, be it the
Tantric rituals of Hawan (fire ritual with chanting of mantra), Bhakti
yoga – singing of kirtans performing puja in the evening, Raja Yoga-
following a life of Yama and Niyama awareness in our actions towards
others to name a few. The idea is to bring about a complete
understanding of the Philosophy and Science of Yoga among the people by
following a lifestyle which is Yogic. Our teaching is not restricted to
the mat or within the yogashala, it will be an ongoing process during
your entire stay.
We promote the concept of Karma Yoga more than
anything else, cause this is one practice which with proper
understanding and doing can bring about remarkable change in a persons
understanding of life.
Goa has been one of the most popular
tourist destinations in India, and it has attracted all kind of people
be it artists, singers, musicians, designers, hippies, party lovers etc.
Goa has something to offer for everyone. A lot of people also come here
soul searching too, trying to find the meaning of life. In the recent
past it has been observed that Goa has also become a destination for
people interested in Yoga.
As
the tourists who come here for long stay are looking for some sort of
activity to keep them busy and which is good for them aswell, Yoga is
certainly one of the most popular choice for them. To cater to this ever
growing demand for yoga a lot of Yoga Retreats have come up in Goa,
almost all of them offer drop-in yoga classes. The drop in yoga classes are mainly in the style of Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa Flo, Scaravelli Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Sivanada and Satyananda to name a few.
The
popularity of yoga is such that now a lot of retreats and even hotels
are offering yoga vacation and yoga holiday packages, this would include
some yoga asana practices and some breathing exercises (pranayama),
simple vegetarian food to compliment the yogic practices. This is such a
wonderful trend, and a lot of people are going for this kind of
vacation and holiday instead of getting drunk and not taking care of the
health. Thanks to the rise in awareness among people about their health
that the trend is changing.
