Events & Retreats
What is involved in a one day workshop?
Pure Yoga offers a range of speciality workshops that provide the time and space for going deeper into different practice elements. Bihar Yoga is a very broad and comprehensive approach which seeks to integrate all aspects of our personality. A range of educational resources are provided and most days include plant based catered lunch and chai.
Some workshops are in collaboration with other Yoga Teachers with specialty areas of expertise like Sanskrit, mantra chanting or Ayurveda making these a premium experience for those who join us.
What is the length of the workshops, retreats and trainings?
The length of the workshops varies but most are either a day or half day long, usually 9 - 5 pm in various locations that are handpicked for their ambience, simplicity and connection with nature. You can also customise your own length in a collaboration with Pure Yoga.
The retreats tend to run from 3 - 5 days structured as a complete reset and get away time to focus on yourself and let go of tension and blockages. These are run at various locations in and around Auckland but sometimes the Bay of Plenty, Sth Island and places that offer sanctuary and peace.
The Yoga training for Teachers & steady practitioners is configured differently each year. Sometimes as weekend immersions or as a residential immersion. In 2025 this training will run over 7 months and includes 13 immersion days.
How will I know if I am suited to the workshop?
One of the unique aspects of Bihar Yoga is that it is highly adaptable and designed for every level of practitioner. In practical yoga sessions modifications and alternatives are provided. Pragyadhara will respond directly to your registration asking a few basic health and injury questions so options can be prepared in advance.
Mantra & Hatha Classes
What is involved in the Mantra & Hatha class?
The Early Bird Mantra & Hatha class is a unique fusion vibration, classical Hatha which works with the energy system. It is designed to awaken subtle energy and deepen your personal practice. Starting with mantra chanting, the class creates a potent vibrational field that clears mental clutter, uplifts your mood and mindset, and brings a sense of equilibrium for the day. This is followed by classical Hatha Yoga practices that work with its original intentions of this system for balancing ida and pingala nadis and awakening sushumna.
Who would this class appeal to?
For experienced practitioners and yoga teachers, this class offers a refreshing return to the traditional roots of Yoga. A space to refine inner focus, build energetic awareness, and reconnect with the intentions of the classical systems. It's especially valuable for those looking to integrate mantra, pranayama and subtle practices into their daily sadhana. Whether you're expanding your teaching toolkit or seeking to enrich your own inner work, this class provides a grounded, authentic, and enriching way to start your day.
