Hari Om Dear Yoginis and Yogis,
Santosa offers over FIFTY wonderful yoga and meditation and dance teachers, musicians, singers and workshop facilitators, as well as the opportunity to experience Yoga Nidra 5 times a day. Santosa offers infinite opportunities for all of us to be healed, loved and ministered to by a host of skilled therapists.
We are delighted to welcome back some of our very favourite teachers who have been coming to Santosa yoga camp for years together with welcoming some very marvellous new friends. All share their skills, love and joy with us: we’re looking forward to Kashmir yoga with Veronika and to Heartsong every morning with Eliza and Eloise, to Womb Yoga and Yoga Nidra from a cracking team from the Yoga Nidra Network, to chanting the names of the goddess with the Amma satsang, to Babaji aarati with Sivani, and evening bhakti from many wonderful Bhaktas including Tim Chalice, Jai Krishna and Jim Fox, to Wild Yoga contemplative movement with Theo Wildcroft, to DANCEmandala with Shaku and Shakti Dance with Anjali.
– and these are just a few of our favourite Santosa peeps! For a full listing of all our very wonderful teachers, bhaktas, meditation teachers and bhakti musicians, please visit our profiles page.
Please do bear in mind we are always open to the possibility of inspirational changes and bright ideas, so the schedule is never final till we get onto the field herself! We joyfully operate from a place of potent and creative uncertainty, in the loving arms of the deep feminine…
As well as the marvellous programme we also have a specially constructed NEW SAUNA which is quite a treat to use, as well as a host of fabulous new extras in the kids’ department (including origami and flying fun… and that’s on top of the programme of kids’ crafts activities).
And all this is served up with three delicious veggie meals a day – plus complimentary chai at the morning meeting, and free hot chocolate at story time for the little ones.
At Santosa you are welcomed, fed and get to share your mealtimes with a fabulous family of yogis of all ages.
Once you are on site, every workshop, class, activity and meal is ALL INCLUDED in the price. What a wonderful thought!
THANK YOU and HARI OM TAT SAT XXX
With great respect and love from UMA
