If you have already practiced Kundalini meditation regularly daily, please continue. If you are not a regular practitioner, start practicing as soon as you register for the program.

​
What's the dress code for the course?
Please wear comfortable, loose white T-shirts and white pants for the dress code. We kindly request that you avoid tights. If you prefer a t>, you can place your order here. Please pre-order (at least one week earlier), as last-minute orders may not be guaranteed at the venue.
Why is the white dress code compulsory?
White represents calmness, contains all colors within itself, and symbolizes inner light. Additionally, wearing white is pleasing to the eyes and helps reduce sensory distractions, an essential aspect of Yoga's practice of Pratyahara.
Should silence be followed in advanced courses, or can we speak with each other?
Most of the prana (vital life energy) is lost through speech. Silence preserves Prana and takes a person more profound.
Silence is not mandatory. Discussing or listening to co-practitioners also helps with meditation practices.
Practitioners are advised to hold/ practice a Silence from time to time
Group interactions are also encouraged, and many ideas and projects can spring up between different people
Social integration and exchange are also among the goals of organizing this residential course.

We understand that sitting for extended periods can be challenging so we will provide breaks and opportunities for yogic relaxations during the sessions. Chairs will be available for your convenience, and you can also find a comfortable sitting position on your mat.
​
Should we diet during the retreat?
There is no strict diet requirement, but eating in the correct quantity is essential—neither too much nor too little. The idea is to have enough food to satisfy your hunger while maintaining a light stomach. The course only serves vegetarian food; there are no other dietary restrictions.
