For me the body is the highest - it is our library of feelings and images where we can experience silence. When we stay silent something strong may happen to us

RETREAT LOCATION
"It is a place where time has a different relationship with space. Valday Eco Club is Russia at its most beautiful"
Maxim Kirichenko, Deputy Chief Editor Yoga Journal Russia

This one phrase encapsulates the magical and beautiful place where our critical alignment yoga retreat is held. We have done our best to make everything comfortable for you and your deep inner transformation.

Since the location is right in between Moscow and Saint Petersburg (in the heart of the national park by the lake "Boroe) you can plan some sightseeing in both capitals and discover the richness and beauty of Russian culture.
OVER 6 HOURS OF PRACTICE A DAY
Unique opportunity to better understand and work through both technical and meditative aspects of Critical Alignment Yoga
To feel the solid anatomical foundation of the method and transforming power of practice
To learn from the founder of the method and to ask questions
Deep immersion not only in the method, but also in yourself; far away from the hectic city lifestyle.
Only in France and since 2017 in Russia
How the latest retreat in May 2019 went.
IT IS WORTH COMING IF
You have experience in Critical Alignment Yoga
You have experience in other yoga styles and you are interested in on the method
You are ready for the intensive practice. This is not therapy, but yoga
Gert Van Leeuwen
Founder of the method, head of Critical Alignment Yoga and Therapy Institute in Amsterdam and Moscow
The Dutch yoga master has been exploring spine and back pain related issues for over 40 years. Based on profound knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and psychology, and as a result of continuous scientific research and extensive practice, this unique yoga and therapy method was developed. Such a combination of theory and practice makes this method different from other yoga approaches. The book describing the method is published in Dutch, English and Russian and has received positive feedback from B.K.S. Iyengar (or, has been endorsed by B.K.S. Iyengar).
