Exploring the Stillness in Movement
Eco Yoga Retreat in the Mountains
Our outer world is in continuous motion and along with it we dance round the clock. When we do sit still , how still is our mind?
Most of what we observe in life is constantly undergoing a process of change or movement including ourselves. Is there something in us that is unchanging and constant?
If you see a moving bus pass by, what do you notice? If you were to freeze its motion in form of a picture what do you notice?
When we sit in meditation, in the voluntary stillness of body their is a gentle but continuous movement of breath.
There is Movement in Stillness. But is there stillness in movement?
Sthira Tandava is a yoga retreat in the green mountains of Uttarakhand. The serene atmosphere away from the hubbub of city is an ideal setup for self enquiry and rejuvenation. The intention of this retreat is to bring into our awareness the stillness within the movement. Finding the ever exisiting divinity within oneself. An infinite pool of nectar you can dip and soak into to refresh yourself. Once we connect with this inner wisdom, we can choose to keep coming back to this source.
Sthira – The tranquil silence within
Tandava – Divine Movements innate to our body
In this retreat we bring to you yogic practices such as dynamic asanas in form of embodied movements that bring us home to the natural moving patterns of the human body. Static asana practice like Yin Yoga where we explore bodily sensations and our mind flow. Active meditation or movement based meditations.

In the lap of mother nature we find our balance amongst lush green mountains, chirping birds and fresh breeze in close proximity to the holy River Ganga.
