Are you ready to experience the power of your breath and connect more consciously with your life energy? Join us at RYK Spiritual Retreat and Training Center for a transformative retreat on the science and art of breathing.
Our program offers ancient breathing techniques to awaken your source energy and help you melt into the bliss of existence. With practical teachings that fit into your daily life, learn the basics of breath, kriyas, and pranayama – an excellent start to a yoga breathing practice.
Connect with the life force to expand your awareness and connect more consciously to your emotions, thoughts, and life in general. Our practical approach to breathwork makes it easy to integrate into your daily life, while still honoring the classical yoga tradition of pranayama.
“Breath is life and life is breath. There is no difference between the two.” – Yogi Bhajan
Discover how to use your breath to initiate meditation, deep relaxation, and easily transform your health and wellbeing. Strengthen your nervous system, build your immune system and eliminate reactions to stress, promoting vitality and vigor.
Modern science has proven the benefits of harnessing the power of our breath. With measurable results such as lowering blood pressure, eliminating anxiety and negative reactions, depression, and even asthma & autoimmune diseases, it’s no wonder that breathwork is becoming increasingly popular.
The benefits of proper breathing go beyond just physical health. By learning to control your breath, you gain control over your emotions and experience greater clarity of thought, concentration, and productivity. You are more creative, prosperous, and feel a deeper sense of connectedness to the beautiful world around you.
By practicing different breathing techniques and meditations, you deepen your understanding and experience the breath as the essence of life and the Divine within us. Start breathing correctly, and watch your body, mind, and spirit achieve their fullest potential!
At RYK Spiritual Retreat and Training Center, we believe that learning to control your breath is the key to controlling your mind and your life. Start your journey towards optimal health, vitality, and spiritual awakening by joining us for this life-changing retreat!

What To Bring
Comfortable Clothes and Layers. Although we expect warm days, evenings and mornings could be cool, so pack layers. A light rain jacket might come handy. Remember to bring something to cover your head and shoulders for meditation. You might also want to bring along a sheepskin and/or a lightweight blanket for relaxation.
Sleeping Bag. Bring a sleeping and/or a blanket if you want to sleep in the tents “Under the Sky”.
A Journal. This experience may be transformational, and you might be surprised at what feelings and emotions that come up during your visit. Journaling often allows us to dig deeper within, giving you space to express what may otherwise be difficult to vocalize. Looking back at your retreat journal later down the line can also be a beautiful reminder of how much you have grown.
A Water Bottle. Staying hydrated is key as the processes and activities involved can be thirsty work! We will be drinking nature’s gift of clean, fresh well water. We will also provide Organic Yogi Tea.
Mala beads. Yogi`s tool for chanting and meditation.
Flip-Flops/Slides. As you will be practicing barefoot, it’s useful to pack some shoes that you can easily slip on and off as you practice and each time you enter the main house.
Hiking/Walking Shoes. In this nature retreat you’ll want to ensure you have a good pair of hiking or walking shoes, so you are always comfortable.
Sunscreen. Since we will be spending a lot of time outdoors, you may want to pack some natural sunscreen.
