The atmosphere of our events
On the program
Requires a certain maturity — games not for children. Here, we will find our points of connection with each participant and create a unique atmosphere for the entire intensive course.
Breaking the ice in communication. A program with Didi Ananda Devapriya
The combination of dynamic and silent meditation will help you achieve a crystal-clear mind. The collective flow of practice inspires, enhances concentration, and deepens your personal meditation.
Collective Meditations
Asanas, yoga dances (Kaoshikii and Tandava), self-massage, Shavasana, and Yoga Nidra. Morning and evening sessions for a full-body practice are led by Olga Yurkov, a certified yoga instructor with 7 years of experience.
Yoga Classes and Deep Relaxation
Art therapy is a powerful tool for working with inner barriers. One of the most interesting approaches is the combination of dance and sound. Studies show that physical movement helps release muscular tension, which in turn influences our ability to express ourselves freely through the voice.
The body relaxes and opens up to sound. This process helps improve the voice, making it more flexible and natural. When the body is relaxed and energized, the voice begins to flow freely, without tension.
Art therapy with elements of dance and singing can be beneficial for those who want to improve their vocal technique, as well as for those who simply want to learn how to express themselves more easily through music.

Art Therapy «From Movement to Sound»
What is the true value of the practice? What can only the spiritual path provide, and nothing else? Dada will give a lecture on the treasures and fundamentals of yoga. He will also hold several sessions dedicated to answering your questions about meditation.
