A RETREAT ABOUT

YOGA // AYURVEDA / PLANETARY GONGS

16-19 May - Margau Apuseni

The story behind

LIVING IN BALANCE is the testimony of the profound connection we have with Mother Nature. Here it is to an extended week-end when we relax in the warm and comfortable embrace of nature.

Setting the vibe for an awesome summer, we travel together to a magnificent place - Margau (near Cluj, in Apuseni mountains) fully surrounded by nature and….that feeling of….”hey, life’s so beautiful and I am so grateful for this and so much more”.

It is a retreat mainly blending:

  • Yoga

  • Ayurveda

  • Gong Baths and Sound Healing sessions

Living in Balance is not the regular A-list city escape. It is designed to be the living experience of Yoga so what you will practice is basically the ancient teaching of Yoga and Ayurveda regrouped in such a manner to serve you in your daily life.

This experience is aimed to make you volunteer yourself in acts of kindness and love not only during the retreat, but also embracing this kind of approach way beyond the Yoga mat and especially even after the Living in Balance experience.

The retreat’s schedule will include: Yoga sessions // Sound baths with planetary gongs, tibetan bowls // Ayurveda // guided meditations in the middle of nature // walks around (in the village, on the surrounding hills, local households) // relaxation techniques immersed in water - we have a heated pool // Satsanga - open talks about Yoga and related topics // a lot of other inter-connected practices in between.

The Venue

Aproximately 1 hour away from Cluj, Margau is a village immersed during summer in shades of green and solar light. You cannot put into words the feeling you have when you reach this place. It is quiet and peaceful. A retreat is about going back to the roots of your true being. Absolutely no doubt this is one of those places where you feel you belong and where you can experience Yoga in its purest form.

Octavian, our host, will welcome us in this beautiful place with his smile on (as always). Maybe if you give him the Yogi smile he will also have some doughnuts prepared by tanti Lucica :) yup, that doughnut as grandma used to prepare when you were a kiddo.
