When we talk about yoga, often we think only of the asanas – the physical poses that come to mind when we are given this word. However, yoga is more than this. Here at the Eco Retreat, the yoga we practice is not just the yoga of physical asanas.

When we speak of yoga practice at the centre, we are thinking of yoga in a wider sense than the physical postures. By staying here, you have a chance to deepen your yoga practice. The Eco Retreat offers you the chance to explore the different paths of yoga.

The word Yoga comes from Sanskrit “योग” which means “union”. When talking about this spiritual philosophy, we consider that there are many different spiritual paths in yoga.

Bhakti Yoga – The path of devotion, recognition of the sacred and divine

Jnana Yoga – The path that pursues knowledge with questions such as “who am I, what am I?” 

also known as the path of self-realization

Karma Yoga – The path of action and devotion to others

in this yoga, we act not because of the results our actions will have but rather for the sake of the action itself

Raja Yoga – Asanas are just one of the 8 classical spiritual paths associated with raja yoga
