What Awaits You on Our 21-Day Retreat
1
1
Deep Dive into the Physical Aspects of Yoga
During our course, you will immerse yourself in the physical aspects of yoga: body movement and alignment, breathwork, and correct classroom adjustments. This ensures that you are aware of your own postures and, just as importantly, the postures of those around you. We emphasize the importance of honoring and understanding the roots of yoga, providing students with an in-depth study of the history and philosophy of this ancient science.

Unique Learning Environment and Dynamic Classes
We create open spaces for discussion about views and personal experiences, as we believe this is the most beneficial and effective way to learn such an inclusive and vast topic. You will learn to understand the mechanics of the body in a unique and dynamic classroom setting, analyzing the anatomy and physiology of the body and how it specifically connects to the movement of yoga with a highly qualified and experienced teacher. Additionally, you will explore the depths of meditation and mantra, learning skills and techniques for guided meditations and independent practices.

Cultural Immersion and Holistic Experience
Yoga is an inclusive science, and we believe it is important to understand different perspectives and spiritual practices. Being in Sri Lanka, you will have the opportunity to experience and understand the traditions of the land. We offer a traditional Sri Lankan cooking class as an extracurricular activity (with a small additional cost for the local business running the workshop). Expect all this and much more from our three-week intensive program with Middle Path Movement. Classes run from Monday to Saturday, with Sundays free for optional ceremonies, workshops, and guided local tours. Each day begins at 07:00 with kriya, meditation, asana, pranayama, and journaling, and aims to end around 18:00 to allow for private study time, although some evenings may include workshops.

  • Sami
    Lead Yoga Teacher
    Sami is a highly experienced yoga teacher with an international background. He is committed to healing the mind through good actions, love and compassion. His only purpose is to spread the knowledge that it is possible to find genuine and lasting happiness by taming and training your own mind.
    His practice is known for being wise, focused and fun. He has explored different kinds of practices, searching for a lighter body and mind and dedicated his studies to Traditional Hatha, the alignment of Iyengar and the flow of Ashtanga Vinyasa. To settle his mind and find balance between the sun and moon, he dedicates his continued education to studying Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, Vipassana and Shamatha Meditation and Buddhist philosophy.
    He noticed that Yoga adapts itself according to the practitioner and social aspects. Translating this knowledge and making it available to our current time is wisdom.
    Our generation has different needs than the past generation. We are colourful, diverse, inclusive and accepting. Some of us notice that the world that we live in needs rest, silence and awareness. In order to heal ourselves, we need to heal our community, the environment and the society that we live in. Yoga is about that. The healing path is grounded on healing others.
    Sami is a free soul. Always on the road and experienced with different cultures, he has become a citizen with no borders. It is hard to say where he is really from. He was born in Brazil and carries that playful and enthusiastic joy. Also, his practices are noticeably a great influence of Arabic culture and wisdom, especially with their warm hospitality and generosity. All that combined with ancient wisdom, discipline and respect only found in Asia. Sami’s trainings were held in India, where he regularly returns to renew his knowledge and vows.
    His experience includes teaching in different countries, such as India, Egypt, Morocco, Malaysia and Brazil. He has a business background which can be helpful to ground our energy.
    Be prepared to laugh, work seriously, flourish your potential and find confidence in your vulnerability. His practice is a journey to the inside, healing yourself through healing the ones around you, whoever they are, whatever motivation they have, all beings matter in his practices.
