Leave your devices behind and float away on a mountain high, then return with the gift of presence for yourself and your community.

Journey through the Five Koshas – Align Your Layers of Being

Join Himalayan Yoga Master Yogrishi Vishvketu (Vishva-ji) as he guides you on an ever-deepening journey through the five layers of being, with a particular focus on healing ancestral blueprints and samskaras (patterns) in each layer:

• Anamaya Kosha (physical layer)
• Pranamaya Kosha (pranic layer)
• Manomaya Kosha (mental/emotional layer)
• Vijnanamaya Kosha (intuitive layer)
• Anandamaya Kosha (bliss layer)

In this workshop you will learn about the original anatomy of yoga and experience how awareness of these layers can revitalize our practice and support us in daily life. There will also be a full Five Koshas class in which we repeat a short sequence three times, gradually bringing your awareness inside. The class will end with a spontaneous meditation to savour the lightness of being.
