If you are one of many being recommended to Agama Yoga, it is very likely because of our First Level Agama Yoga Intensive. This month-long immersion Yoga course is a powerful introduction to the principles and practices derived from Hatha, Kundalini and Tantra Yoga. We welcome you to join the growing community of seekers and practitioners who are enjoying this wonderful and comprehensive Yoga immersion at one of the finest secret beach villages in Mexico and Central America.
This is a Yoga Retreat. It is a life changing experience. It is a gift to yourself. It introduces you to authentic Yoga and meditation. Or it empowers you within your own Yoga practice and deepens it. It begins to unfold the mechanisms which have kept Hatha, Kundalini and Tantra Yoga a beloved practice through the ages. Through its consistency and diversity it offers room for healing and strengthening. It is an unfolding. It is a Yoga adventure. It is the backbone of a Yoga community. And for some it is the beginning of a spiritual path and even a new calling to explore the full 5-year Agama Yoga system.
This 24 day, 150+ hour yoga course is offered Monday to Friday over a period of 5 weeks. In the morning from 8:30-10:30 you’ll receive a short lecture introducing a new asana and theoretical information followed by a Hatha Yoga Class and extended final relaxation. In the afternoon we come together again from 4:00 – 6:00 to do Sun Salutations and more Hatha Yoga, music meditation and deep relaxation. And finally, in the evening we gather at 7:00 to hear a discourse on Yoga Philosophy, theoretics and practical techniques. Everything builds step by step, with considerable review leaving graduates with the ability to go home and guide themselves in their own practice, something which in itself is oddly rare in the world of Yoga practitioners. Other additional activities include: guided meditations, a salt water colon cleanse, weekly bhajan circles (devotional mantra singing), community gatherings, movie nights, Spanish studies, etc. Vegan meals are offered Monday -Saturday for an additional cost.
The courses are taught by a variety of qualified International Yoga teachers holding 500 hour or more Teacher Training certificates. Some teachers speak Spanish. English is the primary language of the classroom.
Classes are held at El Corazon Yoga Retreat Center (formerly El Neem), Mazunte.
You may participate in the First Level Intensive as a drop-in or full-time student and the course is made so that one can join at any time. One full day is 200 MXN, while single Yoga classes of 2 hours are 100 MXN. One week is 1000 MXN, and the entire course is 4600 MXN (10% discount if paid up front in full, 4140 MXN).
Give yourself the gift of Yoga. And if you can, join us for the 10 day silent Hridaya Meditation Retreat along with Agama Yoga Levels 2 and 3 where you will deepen your own practice and confidence in this system.
