The Silence Retreat offers recreation on all levels of Your existence - at the physical level by means of physical exercises (Yoga Asanas / Yoga Nidra), on the mental level by means of breathing exercises (pranayama) and on the subtle level, which is also the level of our being through guided meditations and a dynamic process of breathing called Sudarshan Kriya®.
