Sadhita has been practising yoga and meditation from the Buddhist tradition, for more than 20 years. He trained in London and then in India as a yoga teacher.
For many years, he has been involved with the Triratna Buddhist movement and has recently finished a period of living in a Buddhist retreat centre in Spain, where he now lives full time. The approach Sadhita takes to yoga, is one that has been developing over the course of many years in his own practice. It is essentially an approach that emphasises the importance of paying attention and mindfulness of the body and the mind. The mind aspect of practice is just as important as the body. Sadhita promotes and awareness that has its roots in systematic meditation practice. This then, deepens our experience of the postures, helping to see more clearly how the postures work to steady the mind and open the heart. All of his yoga retreats have meditation teaching as art of them. Also, Sadhita will teach systematic relaxation, correct breathing and classical Hatha yoga postures.
The week will develop slowly in intensity, depending on the group. We will have plenty of time also for relaxation and walks in the beautiful surrounding mountains.

During this week the Buddhist meditation tradition and Hatha Yoga will be brought together. Sadhita, the trainer, has 13 year experience in teaching yoga and is himself a devoted Buddhist. The objective of this week is to reconnect with your inner peace and to do this through recognising peace in nature. In the hectic world of today with all the information that surrounds us we sometimes do not pay enough attention to the inner quiet self. In yoga and meditation we increase awareness of details in body and thought. The stunning nature of Sacarest helps you to appreciate the silence and peace that you can also find in yourself with the help of yoga and meditation. Furthermore will Sadhita give you technical and practical knowledge in these practices. The workshop is suitable for beginners and experts as well. During your stay here we will practice yoga and meditation, make walks in the mountains, experience guided relaxation, sing mantras, listen to Sadhita talk about consciousness and enjoy good vegetarian Mediterranean food.

At Sacarest we practice the Dana principle. Dana is central in Buddhism and translated from Sanskrit it means 'to give generously'. You decide yourself how much your stay and participation to the workshop worth is, how you want to support the Sacarest community and how you want to translate that into a financial donation. There are no fixed prices. Dana is an exercise in gratitude and trust. It puts confidence before fear, it focusses on dividing instead of 'everything for me', we base it on 'what you have to give' instead of 'what I deserve'. More information you can find here
