His reflections ask us to recognise the real struggle and notice when discipline does not align with us. Our philosophy returns to community, self-discovery and transformation. We use the idea of natural lightness when speaking about practice. These are the team's reflections, not guarantees about a retreat's results or its daily activities. Retreat and course programmes differ by edition. ## About Aayana Yoga We share yoga through practice and conversation. These reflections are part of how we speak with our Aayana Family.
