What is ISTA Yoga?
ISHTA stands for Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda, or a combination of physical, energetic, and healing practices. But ISHTA has a double meaning that stretches back to the very roots of yoga. ISHTA is also a Sanskrit word translating to ‘that which resonates with the individual spirit,’ emphasizing the personal journey we encourage and guide our students to embrace. Basically the mission of the ISHTA style encourages contentment and calm through the melding of breath, flow, strength building, alignment and meditation.
Kavi Yogi Swarananda Mani Finger and his son, Alan Finger, created ISHTA Yoga in the late 1960’s in South Africa. Take advantage of this marvelous opportunity to experience ISHTA yoga from Alan Finger, the ISHTA master himself!
Daily itinerary includes:
* Rejuvenating morning flow asana practice with Sarah and Julie, followed by 45 minutes of Alan’s signature ISHTA meditation.
* Stimulating afternoon philosophy lecture with Alan, followed by relaxing restorative practice with Sarah.
* The rest of the days are yours to plan. Whether you decide to take a nature walk, lay by the white sandy beach or the double infinity pool, play tennis, go golfing, or take advantage of the many spa treatments available at the resort, you will certainly come back from this amazing experience feeling completely regenerated.
Special Note for Beginners: All levels are welcome during these 5 delicious days of retreat and rejuvenation.
