All the interaction is live directly with Nicki. Group work is intimate and the number of participants will be kept limited to ensure for intimacy. None of the content will be prerecorded. If you attend the full day or as part of the Aruna Life or Aruna Academy, you will be given access to the recordings of the retreat. Hours are made to accommodate different time zones. If you can’t make a session you will get access to the recorded session to watch in your own time.
You will learn how to use yoga and apply its ancient tools to daily life to make life more connected, to improve mental states and release emotional blocks. You will get to really learn how to apply Aruna Yoga to daily life to bring you into your personal power and inner connection. Besides yoga, you get to practice Self-enquiry and emotional presence work clearing out the layers of issues both conscious and unconscious. You will get to clear blocks and obstacles and the tools to do so in daily life as issues arise.
The result will be coming home to your Self and living from your own true essence!
