Yoga Retreat FAQ'S .... Frequently
Asked Questions.
Q.
Who can organize a retreat?
A.
Just about anybody can organize a retreat. If you can get together
a group of students who are interested in spending a weekend together,
then Swami Kripananda will make himself available to conduct it for you.. An
existing yoga Studio / Retreat Center are a great help since the space
is conducive for yoga and meditation. Alternatively, it is possible to
rent a school hall or a town hall for the occasion. In this case all
participants need to make appropriate arrangements for their boarding
and lodging. Most weekend retreats include light yoga exercises blended
with meditation and yoga philosophy. Yoga intensives are also available
on request.
Q.
Who can attend Swami Kripananda ’s retreats?
A.
Just about anybody can attend the retreats conducted by Swami
Kripananda.
Beginners are welcome to the retreats. If you have a medical
condition, however, it is important that you consult with your doctor
and inform us about the condition so we can make the necessary
preparations to accommodate you. The postures are practiced through
internal adjustments so both beginners as well as advanced students will
be able to practice the same exercises together.
Q.
Do I have to bring anything to the retreat?
A.
For yoga exercises, if mats and other props are not available at the retreat center, the
same can be arranged by our team. Yoga Mats, Blocks and Yoga Ties are a
great asset to yoga posturing.
Q.
What do I wear for the retreat?

Please dress comfortably. During yoga exercises a yoga mat may be used.
It is necessary to carry a meditation cushion, or a bolster for the
healing meditations. Some meditations are done on straight backed
chairs. (see pic.)
