Cost: £63.00

Venue: Samye Ling

Bookings for this course (and guest accommodation) will open on 15th December 2025.  Please send an email on 15th December or after, giving your details to bookings@samyeling.org.

Using the yogic paradigm of the pancha koshas (five sheaths) this popular weekend explores a wider aspect of being than that offered by the thinking mind.

Using a variety of traditional yoga practices Johnny will introduce the pancha koshas which serve as a way of opening up not only to physical and mental aspects of our being, but also energetic, intuitive and spiritual aspects. In daily life we tend to over identify with particular aspects and disregard others. This creates stress and can deny us the potential for joyful living and personal growth. This weekend is designed to create space !

There will be an even balance of breath work, movement, relaxation and meditation. This weekend is open to everyone so the posture work is slow and gentle and therefore suitable for complete beginners and those with conditions for which strenuous exercise is not advised.

The course begins after supper at 7pm on the Friday and ends in time for lunch at 12.30 pm on the Sunday.

NOTE: Please bring comfortable layers of clothing so that you can move freely yet remain warm. The joint releasing movements can actually lower body temperature. Please bring your own mat, sitting block or cushion and a blanket.
