The practice is the spine of everything.
Before the land, before the temples, before the food — there is the practice. Everything at Shakthi Retreat is built around it. Our workshops are where it is transmitted: carefully, correctly, in person.
A few hours. A small group. Full attention on getting it right, so the practice can stay with you for life.

Surya Shakti.
A dynamic, physically intensive practice of engaging the sun’s energy — building strength, stamina and steadiness in the body. Where its subtler sister practice refines the inner energies, Surya Shakti builds the vessel.
It is taught here by Astha and Kaulina, Isha Hatha Yoga teachers — step by step, with full attention on precision.
And over time the practice does something quieter. Beyond health, it keeps you on track — it does not let you derail, or let stress accumulate. That is when you understand it is not exercise. It is the maintenance of the whole system.

A workshop teaches you the practice. A Shakthi Retreat places you inside it.
Surya Kriya — the subtler, 21-step sister practice — is taught only within the Shakthi Retreat. When you are ready to live inside the practice for five days, on land where Shakthi has been worshipped for centuries, the retreat is waiting.
