Yoga Retreat at Khajuraho & Taj Mahal

Yoga Culture has organized a six-day yoga program catering to people who are also interested in Indian artistic and cultural traditions. This special program is both a yoga retreat as well as a cultural study of two most visited sites in India – Khajuraho and the Taj Mahal. Khajuraho is a complex of about 20 temples in the Nagara Style (North Indian) that are among the best examples Medieval Hindu Architecture. They are renowned for the erotic sculptures on the outer walls of the temples as well as the serenity and sheer beauty of the entire terrain. The Taj Mahal hardly needs an introduction –it is a monument to the love of one of the great Mogul emperors, Shah Jahan, for Mumtaz Mahal, his beautiful wife. This structure, with its magnificent dome and graceful minarets constructed of white marble inlaid with geometric patterns and Islamic calligraphy, can be considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The organizer has carefully chosen these sites to experience the rich culture and art of India. The temples at Khajuraho are dedicated to "Shakti", the feminine aspect, that according to the yogic Tantric tradition, alone has the power to move the dormant male force into action. The rich sculpture that adorns the temple walls is symbolic of the bliss experienced by the separated soul of man when reunited with the divine – the ultimate goal of yoga practice. Pre-trip lectures, visits to the temples with knowledgeable guides and yoga practice with Anne Nakhoda will deepen and enrich one’s understanding of Indian culture and the art and the practice of yoga. We strongly encourage those who wish to experience a taste of exotic India and to deepen their yoga practice to join us on this trip.
