Summer Retreat Registration

SUMMER RETREAT July 2024 REGISTRATION FORM

The Summer yoga retreat registrations should be done individually for each person (even for babies) so that we get all the necessary dietary and lodging information and class reservations. In the case of friends, couples and families who would like to share the same hut or apartment, you should write the names of your group or family members at the Booking notes field, and send an individual registration for everyone writing the name of your family or group at the Booking-name field (use the same booking-name for each person).  

Retreat weeks, Yoga classes and Workshops Booking Section

Choose one or more retreat weeks you wish to participate:

Choose the retreat asana class which you wish to participate. Astanga mysore times are approximate times to start the asana practice (+/- 30 minutes), and the individual starting times will be confirmed at the retreat place. Most of the afternoon yoga program will be included in the retreat price except extra workshops. Kids from 12 years on can attend Astanga new/led beginners classes.

PROGRAM NOTE:
There is going to be extra workshop(s) in the afternoons (Tue-Sat). Extra workshop special prices for Retreat attendees are 49 € for 3 classes workshops, or 69€ for 5 classes workshops.
