One-day Online Aruna Yoga Retreat
Aruna Yoga online one-day retreats
Aruna Yoga is a practice of presence. It embodies yoga and other tools to live in awareness with Self-enquiry guiding us back to our essence, to our heart. Aruna clears out obstacles blocking our fullest potential, helps us to heal what needs healing and returns us to the Wholeness that is our True Nature.
Each month Nicki hosts an online one-day Aruna Yoga retreat (also known as an Aruna Immersion Day). Each one-day yoga retreat has it’s own theme. The day always starts with a dynamic Aruna Yoga practice, followed by an afternoon workshop on a theme connecting to the Aruna Yoga practice.

– 20/03/2022: Aruna Art Process: The Gateway of Nature

The Witness Protection Program
Learning to Read the Subtle Body & Energy
The Witness Protection Program
Learning to Read the Subtle Body & Energy
The practice of yoga in general and self enquiry specifically, teaches us to become a witness, to observe without judgment the unfolding of our inner and outer experience.
The levels of experience include our lives and what is happening on a daily level. It includes what we sense, feel and intuit. It encompasses our bodily sensations, the emotions that we feel and the memories or projections that arise on the screen of our internal consciousness and show up through our external interactions.
To witness means to become the seer of all that unfolds. Free of judgment the witness observes what is arising through the body both physically and energetically. It sees the mental and emotional context and extends beyond into a collective awareness of our spiritual experience. Through this witnessing our behaviours, proclivities, patterns and life themes can be noted. Unconscious reactivity can become conscious choice. Old patterns are then free to be unravelled and the witness can ‘protect’ us from dynamics that are not serving our fullest expression of being. No longer an automaton to the unconscious patterns, a new awareness invokes renewed being and conscious choices.
This one-day retreat is the deepest invitation to live in presence, in an open space of acceptance and recognition.

Aruna Art Process
The Gateway of Nature
Aruna Art Process
The Gateway of the Word
Join Nicki Forman and Dr Debra Kalmanowitz (PhD Art Therapy) as we take you on through an Aruna Art Process which will act as a bridge between body, breath and creativity.
The arts are used in all cultures and societies as a form of expression, communication, in rituals and to make meaning of difficult situations. Making art is also an embodied practice that allows for the expression of thoughts, sensations and feelings through the use of art materials, making and doing. This art process will engage participants in the making of art in combination with yoga. Participants will be given the opportunity to experiment with the use of materials in a non-threatening way. An emphasis will be placed on the art-making and creative process, rather than the final outcome.
We will practice yoga and art together with a focus on The Gateway of the Word as a way to:
-
Increase creativity
-
Improve all bodily function and improve the circulatory, respiratory and lymphatic system function
-
Reset the nervous system
-
Release tension, stress and trauma held in the body
No previous experience is required. No skill in art-making is needed. No prior yoga experience is needed.

26th of June 2022
Elemental Elevation: Tattwa Transmutation
Introduction to the Five Elements and the Meridians
In this day we will look into the five elements and study the energy lines that are used in Chinese medicine called meridians. The meridians are the energy lines in the body that are, for example, used by Acupuncturists.
Another way to open these energy lines is by practicing yoga. In this Aruna Immersion we will do a physical practice focused on these energy lines.
