These two retreats with Surata are for those who already have experience of meditating within the context of the Triratna Buddhist Community and regularly practice yoga.
Surata brings to his teaching over 30 years experience of both yoga and Buddhism. His teaching combines a depth of experience with humour and a sense of playfulness.
Surata’s yoga practice draws inspiration from the teaching of Vanda Scaravelli. This is a subtle and gentle approach to yoga which utilises gravity and the breath to help unravel our habitual ‘knots’ which we carry in the body. The body and the mind are allowed to unfold and expand naturally without any unnecessary forcing. This, coupled with the powerfully transformative effect of mindfulness, begins to progressively ‘awaken’ the spine and body leading to greater awareness and contentment.
Two sessions of yoga a day alongside meditation, Buddhist ritual and discussion.
