Serenity and Strength: A Transformative Retreat to Inner Peace (寧靜與力量: 踏上內心和平的變革之旅) with Prabir Karmakar

23-29 November Phu Quoc, Vietnam

Embark on a transformative journey with our Ayurveda Yoga Retreat, featuring two enriching themes: "Journey to Inner Harmony" and "Awakening the Inner Warrior." This retreat invites you to delve into an exploration of self-discovery, balance, and inner strength, guided by senior teacher, Prabir Karmakar.

  

Journey to Inner Harmony:
In this section of the retreat, the focus is on achieving a state of balance and harmony within. Participants often leave feeling more centered, emotionally stable, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges. Through daily yoga classes and meditation sessions, you will cultivate an inner tranquility that resonates long after the retreat concludes. Kirtan sessions provide a communal space for finding inner harmony through music and chanting.

  

Awakening the Inner Warrior:
This theme is designed to unlock your inner resilience and strength. Every yoga class becomes a warrior’s journey, fostering both physical and mental fortitude. Meditation sessions are moments to tap into your inner strength, while group activities encourage discovery and empowerment. The retreat also includes dynamic Kirtan sessions, amplifying the sense of inner harmony.

  

Activities Include:

  • Daily Yoga Classes: Tailored to both beginners and experienced practitioners, these sessions are crafted to enhance flexibility, strength, and mindfulness.
  • Meditation Sessions: Each session is a journey inward, fostering a deeper connection to your true self.
  • Group Activities: Engage in meaningful discussions and shared experiences that foster bonding and a sense of community.
  • Ayurveda Massages: Experience the healing touch of Ayurveda through massages that relax the body and soothe the spirit.
  • Outdoor Adventures: Connect with nature through yoga sessions on the beach or invigorating hikes, complemented by bhraman pranayama practices.

  

Join us for a retreat that promises not only physical rejuvenation but also mental clarity and emotional well-being. This is more than just a getaway; it's an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and vitality.

Happy Departure!

 

Prabir started learning yoga at the age of 9 and began teaching at 18. His first step into yoga was initiated by his brother and grandfather, both of whom were great Yogis. As a child, Prabir was relatively short compared to his classmates. With the help of yoga, his little weak body grew into a strong and well-developed one. He even challenged himself by entering yoga competitions and won many awards including the “Champion of the Champions” in the All India Yoga Competition, Kolkata in 1985. The benefits he obtained from yoga made him determined to make yoga his lifelong career.

 

In his early 20s, Prabir met his guru Yogacharya Sri Lalit Mohan from Kaivalyadham, Maharastra, India and was greatly inspired by him. Guided by Sri Lalit, he reached a deeper understanding of asanas, pranayama and the importance of Sthiram Sukhamasanam – i.e. when you achieve a posture, it becomes effortless. Prabir knew that yoga was not just about posture because he had experienced its magic before. So in 1990, he completed a Diploma in Yoga Therapy. Since then, Prabir has helped many students and patients through his yoga classes and therapeutic sessions. He is committed to promoting yoga in his professional capacity and developing a yoga culture for everyone. In his more than 30-year career span, approximately 70 of his students have become renowned yoga teachers in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Malaysia and many other countries.

 

Prabir’s classes are rhythmic, with sequences synchronised to his music. His classes are reputable for helping students to develop a balance between strength and flexibility, improve their alignment, and build a healthy mind and body. Prabir believes that yoga, especially pranayama (breathing techniques), can bring harmony to our entire being. So he always reminds his students to respect and listen to their body.
