New Year Yoga Retreat – Yen Tu Sacred Mountain

Fixed Departure: 27/12/2024 – 29/12/2024

For the last retreat of 2024, we chose a particular destination: Yen Tu Pagoda – Sacred Mountain. This land not only embraces a significant value in Buddhism, history, and architecture but also owns majestic and poetic landscapes with a mosaic tapestry of fauna and flora, preserving a large number of rare species as well.

The retreat is a precious chance to rejuvenate your body and mind after the long year, reflect on your journey in the old year, and heal yourself amidst the peaceful and refreshing atmosphere of Yen Tu Mountain. Led by a Yoga Health Educator, experiences of basic meditation and classic yoga will bring you a comprehensive healthcare method for the new year.

The activities included harmoniously within the retreat, such as asana, deep relaxation, meditation and hiking, tea ceremony, and health therapy, will ensure a fantastic weekend for you and your companions. As you come home, you will have peaceful energy and be willing to face challenges with a steady and positive attitude. Furthermore, you will seize an opportunity to welcome a New Year’s Eve with fascinating activities to review your achievements, bid farewell to the old year, and set new goals for the new year.
