The intensity of the training programme requires a high degree of discipline and commitment but mastery of yoga practices is not necessary. Yoga is about inner growth. Prior practice of asanas and meditation is preferable.
The course will take place at the Centre for Education and Vacation “Lesnik”. It is located in the village of Orzechowo Morskie, 5 km East of Ustka and 115 km West of Gdansk on the beautiful baltic sea dune coast line. It comprises a very beautiful forest bordering the sea (150 meter from the beach). It is an oasis of peace and an ideal place for meditation.
