Course: RESIDENTIAL COURSE: Inner Freedom




N.B. We can only schedule translation into English if the reservation is received at least one week before the course begins.
Description
The spiritual history of the last few centuries - and even the last few decades - abounds with examples of a heroism that could only manifest itself through overcoming the limits that matter ruthlessly imposes on human consciousness.
Our spirit is conditioned: a captivity that depends, not on external circumstances, but on the psycho-physical dynamics of an immature, subconscious ego.
Yoga offers tools of wisdom to break out of this prison, so that the life of one who sets out on a spiritual path gradually becomes a wonderful adventure of personal growth.
Themes include:
- self-control: a practice to be explored
- how to break out of the prison of the subconscious mind
- happiness is a choice
- how to become the private investigator of your own eg;
- accessing the joy of the soul ...
and ...... much more
Dear friends, we will do our best, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide a translation for everything in your program. We apologise for any inconvenience!

Opportunity
Next time you come to Ananda, sign up for the program Yoga in Action to get a taste of community service and receive a discount on the cost of the course. You can choose the option Yoga in Action for any course where this program is available and you can continue with this option as long as you wish. Your service project might change each day.
When we learn to serve with the right attitude, this is a spiritual practice and is called Karma Yoga. The daily practice of Karma Yoga is a joyful and practical spiritual discipline that will benefit every aspect of your life.
At Ananda, there are two levels of the Yoga in Action option:
Yoga in Action Level 1
75€/course of 5 days
With Level 1, you will serve for a period of one and a half hours. This experience gives you a chance to contribute to the beautiful atmosphere of Ananda.
Yoga in Action Level 2
35€/course of 5 days
Yoga in Action Level 2 is only available if you have had prior experience of the Yoga in Action Level 1 option, or any of the Community Living Programs. With Level 2, you will serve for a period of three hours, split into two periods of daily service.
