Yoga Meditation Intensive Retreat: Introduction to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Module 1 of the International Raja Yoga Teacher Training

Our International Raja Yoga Teacher Training, recognized by the International Yoga Federation and as an honorary member of the European Union of Yoga Associations and the Association Française de Yoga, is made up of five modules presented as 10-day yoga and meditation intensive retreats. The modules may be completed in any order, and each one can be finished with a partial certificate or enjoyed as a standalone retreat for personal growth.

This module provides an inspiring introduction to, and deeper exploration of, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, opening the door to the heart of classical yoga philosophy. Over 10 days, we will study Chapters I and II of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, combining in-depth learning with the practical application of the eight limbs of yoga and meditation.

Topics include the ethics of life, the stages of higher consciousness, different meditation techniques, meaningful expressions of love, the philosophy behind the causes of suffering, and how to integrate yoga into everyday life. How do you live as a yogi? How can yoga principles and practice become part of your daily routine?

All afternoons are free for rest, swimming, reading, hiking, or discovering the beautiful Occitanie region.
