Nilayam
at The Shala Bali
28th May to 3rd June 2023
'Dive into the deeper self.'
For this intimate journey, we are going to take you one step deeper into the rice fields of Ubud, where we will all immerse into the daily practice of meditation, pranayama, nidra and asana.
Join NILAYAM at The Shala Bali during the week of May 28th to June 3rd, 2023
We will explore various types of meditative practices which can be implemented and carried over into your daily life. We will go far beyond the physical practice, in a search for the more universal and ultimate version of our own selves.
Focused gaze and directed breath are the gateways into the ultimate soul. Through the implementation of such tools, practitioner experiences the sense of “arriving” or “finding a way back home” as scriptures describe.
Let us share with you such various techniques, which will help you discover new layers of practice and meditation through the movement and exploration of the surrounding nature and of the deepest corners of your own soul.
Let us take you for this deep dive with an open mind and courageous spirit. Join us for this unforgettable trip.
