YOGA SADHANA DAY
Next date to come!!
Sadhana साधना :: Path to Realisation, Means of Attainment
Centred around the practice.
Our Sadhana Day Retreats are opportunities for you to create time and space to deepen your practice and self knowledge. These days will be led by Shakti Den teachers & practitioners and at times guest facilitators that align with our intentions and values.
Each Sadhana Day will be created and attuned to the current energetics of the moment, acknowledging our place within the natural rhythms of the Earth and Stars. This not only honours the cyclical wisdom of our reality but invites us to explore our practice and life with different perspectives each time.

Practices shared on the day
An overview of what to expect when joining Sadhana Days.
Asana
Referring to the physical postures practiced in yoga, Asanas were traditionally designed to prepare body for meditation and spiritual growth.
We will be sharing practices rooted within the Hatha Yoga lineage along with restorative techniques and postures.
Pranayama
Derived from the Sanskrit words 'prana' (life force) and 'ayama' (control), this practice can promote relaxation, reduces stress, and improves concentration.
By harnessing the power of breath, one can experience increased vitality, balance, and a deeper sense of connection to themselves and the world around them.
Sound Therapy
Sound and vibration has been used for thousands of years as means restore balance and harmony within the body and mind. Its benefits, include stress reduction, improved emotional well-being, and enhanced focus.
Dharma Talks
Dharma Talks originate from the Buddhist traditions and refer to the act of sharing spiritual knowledge from teacher to student. These will be weaved in our opening + closing circle as well as throughout our physical and mindfulness practices.
Self Reflection
Svadyaya :: Self Study is a moral observance found within the 8 limbs of Yoga, aiming to enrich and deepen our understanding of life.
These insights will be gained through journaling, Divination and meditation on Sacred Symbols.

At first you think your Sadhana is a limited part of your life. In time you realize that everything you do is part of your Sadhana.
