Topics to be studied
Week 1
3 Granthis & 9 Pratipatti
The 3 granthis (energy nodes) traditionally called Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma granthi can be understood as seats of reflection, affection, and vitality. The 9 pratipatti (resources) are qualities to be balanced for full use of our potentialities.
These practices are the basis upon which deeper exploration of nidrâ yoga is possible.
Week 2
5 Indriyas
The 5 indriyas are the 5 sense organs and their functioning, which link the internal and external world.
The practice is to relax the physical sense organs (nose, tongue, eyes, skin, ears), enhance the processes of perception (smell, taste, sight, touch, hearing), and cleanse the psychological memories stored in the brain.
Week 3
Pranamaya Kosha
The pranamaya kosha is the subtle or energetic body consisting of nadis (channels) and chakras (vortices).
The practice is to explore and enhance the different qualities of energy through symbolic images, vibrating sounds from the Sanskrit alphabet, and shapes and colors.
Week 4
Yama Yoga
Yama yoga is the relationship to death and the deathing process. It is considered a mandatory passage for accessing the deepest realities of consciousness.
The practice is to differentiate between death as an event and deathing as a process. It includes exercises on the mahabhutas (elements) and their dissolution before death, as well as the relationship to the family lineage (horizontal) and spiritual lineage (vertical).
Teaching Team
Yogi Sri Bashkar Nath, born André Riehl
Born as André Riehl in France, he underwent a yogic sadhana from the age of 11.
He first began practicing yoga at 11 years old and has studied intensively since 1972. Walking the roads of India in search of traditional instructors, he had the opportunity to study the inner journey of ascetics living outside of the worldly life and encounter famous personalities and great figures of spirituality such as J. Krishnamurti and Ma Ananda Mayee.
His decisive meeting with the Nath and Udasin lineages enabled him to integrate these teachings previously received. He has deepened his practice of nidrâ yoga for the last 55 years and started spreading it across 5 continents for the last 20 years. He has guided yoga seekers in 25 countries around the world.
President of the Fédération des Yogas Traditionnels, teacher trainer for the European Union of Yoga, member of the India Yoga Association, and Nidra Yoga Acharya appointed by the Yoga Confederation of India, he strives to transmit authentic teachings combining ancestral and contemporary knowledge.

Bonsoir
Nous avons bien reçu votre message à propos de la retraite de nidrâ Yoga en Inde en décembre prochain.
Le confinement a effectivement eu un impact sur tous les programmes d’enseignement, mais la retraite est toujours d’actualité aujourd’hui et nous continuons à la préparer.
Il reste de la place et vous pourrez vous inscrire dès que vous le pourrez.
Évidemment les finances de beaucoup de personnes sont davantage limitées qu’auparavant, mais nous pensons que tout sera plus simple dans les semaines à venir.
N’hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez besoin de plus d’informations.
Recevez notre amitié
