Yoga Mandir conducts a residential Retreat in the first week of January each year. Set in the bush south of Sydney the centre has a beautiful practice room and excellent food. The Retreat focus is on reflective practice.
There are four mid-term early morning Intensives conducted Monday to Thursday for two consecutive weeks. Students attend from 6.30-9.00 each morning to experience the benefits of daily practice and to evolve their understanding of asana and pranayama.
Prospective Applicant Intensives are recommended for any student interested in placing an expression of interest to join the Institute's Preliminary Teacher Training program with Alan Goode.
The highlight of our Summer of Yoga program is our 3, week-long Antaraya intensives. The intensives run Monday to Friday from the 14 January through to the 1 February, with classes in the early morning and evening. Each week explores a different level from the Yoga Mandir syllabus and the focus of these intensives is the Antarayas (obstacles to practice).
Local and interstate students can enrol for one or more intensives with some students attending all three weeks. This is undoubtedly a great way to commence the new year.
Our Term Break Intensive program holds philosophical themes of Niyama and Yama. Students attend both morning and evening Monday to Friday. The evening classes focus on asana from the Intermediate Junior syllabus. The morning Pune Style Practice is an opportunity to establish or maintain your own practice of what you have learnt with your own sequence, pace and timings. Support is provided for those who are new to a personal practice.
Yoga Mandir is pleased to announce the first of our three day Practice Group Workshops. The three day weekend workshop will be conducted at Yoga Mandir in Canberra and will focus on the Foundation Syllabus used here at the Institute.
This workshop is for anyone who practices or wants to practice. Whether you practice alone, with a group of friends or don't yet practice and want to develop the skills to do so, this workshop is for you. In addition to developing practice skills, the weekend will provide you with an opportunity to meet up with others who practice and for individuals to come together in Yoga.
The Practice Group workshop is a great introduction for those wishing to enrol in the Sadhaka Program or Remote Study Group or for those simply wishing to further their practice skills .
The Practice Group Workshops are also linked to Samyama Lab (a collaboration between South Asia Research Institute (SARI) at ANU, and Yoga Mandir) and participants will be invited to make ongoing contributions to the discussions and exchanges in Samyama Lab.
Alan Goode has accepted invitations to provide workshops in a range of locations across Australia and Internationally. The workshop theme is developed in consultation with the host school whilst holding a similiar structure to programs conducted within the Institute. Typically these workshops include a public lecture, a teachers program and a number of classes for students of differing levels of experience. Click to read more
