Advanced Yoga Practices (AYP) is a full-scope system of yoga, formulated by the American yoga teacher Yogani. Integrating asana (posture) practice with pranayama and meditation, AYP covers all of the eight limbs of yoga. The system includes practices that can be taken on by people who are new to yoga and takes people all the way through, to gradually build up an advanced level yoga practice.

The purification of the body and mind at the subtle level, brings the practitioner into an ecstatic state of living. It also creates a sense of peace and bliss, which are the cornerstones for the realization of unity and divine love, the real fruits of yoga.

Many people ask if they are ready to take on a full-scope yoga practice. The truth is that anyone who feels ready and has the desire to take these practices on, can do so. The techniques are not difficult to learn, all we need is the desire and dedication to learn them and allow them to transform our lives.

All of the AYP practices are explained in detail in over 400 lessons on the AYP Public site. They are also available in book form from the AYP site. There are also hundreds of additions to the main lessons which are available on the AYP Plus site.

The focus of the retreat will be on the cultivation of inner silence, peace-fullness and inner purification. Talks will be given during the retreat on the process of the purification of the subtle body and on the stages of meditation and the cultivation of samadhi.

Practices will include Asanas, Deep Meditation, Spinal Breathing Pranayama and Samyama, as well as other yoga practices.

Full instructions in practice will be given. All yoga classes and meditation sessions are optional, so each person can take the retreat at whatever pace suits them. The retreat will be suitable for people at any level of yoga practice.

Just finished your TTC and you want to go deeper into the Ayurveda practice?

Want to have a beach body and get rid of this stubborn fat in your body?

Need to clean your body after partying and indulging too much on food?

Looking for a new system that will make more sense about what is good for you to eat?

Ayurveda (Traditional Indian medicine) had been used for thousands of years and become perfected by the experiences and insights of thousands of doctors in India.

Traditional medical practitioners and doctors from India had been using a technique of activating the fat burning mechanism in the body as the primal of healing and maintaining balanced and optimal weight and health.

First, using a special diet and Ayurvedic herbs to prepare the body (especially the liver and gallbladder) for fat burning. Followed by a period of switching the metabolism from relying on sugars and carbs to use fat burning as the main source of energy for the body. Finished with a deep cleanse of the GI tract (intestines and colon) and rebooting of the digestion fire to ensure optimal results.

DAILY SCHEDULE:

07:10-07:30 Olieation (only in fat burning days)

07:30-08:30 Breakfast

10:00-11:30 Yoga practice

12:00-13:00 Lunch

14:00-15:00 Daily Detox Consultation Meet-Up

17:30-18:30 Dinner

19:00-20:00 Evening Activity – Meditation/Mantra singing/Sound Healing

The Venue

The retreat will be held at One Yoga on Koh Phangan – a paradise island in southern Thailand. The venue is located on a beachfront resort with a magnificent ocean view and a private beach close to Shritanu. 

Food

There will be three meals served each day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The food will be vegetarian. The food served will support a yoga and meditation practice. We can also cater to vegan diets and special diets such as dairy or gluten-free if you let us know in advance.

The cleanse will be based on a traditional ayurvedic detox food called “Kitchari”, which is a dish made from cooking long basmati rice, split yellow mung beans and spices. In phase 2 of the program, it will be a staple food for giving the body the right nutrients for the cleanse. Other options to add to the menu will be steamed vegetables, salads, and fresh fruits. All according to your level and experience in cleansing.

In phases 1 & 3, the menu will be low-fat, whole-food, fresh vegetarian food, rich in food that helps to prepare the body in and out of the cleansing state. Green vegetables, beetroot, green apples, ginger and mustard, all will help the liver, gall-bladder, kidneys, spleen, intestines, and all the GI tract, to get into optimal shape for best results in the program.

3 whole food meals a day will provide you a safe and relaxed state, that will activate the parasympathetic system of the body. This is crucial and necessary for messaging each and every cell of your body, that now it is safe to clean up and get rid of all which is not necessary.
