Is This Retreat Right for You?

When the Breath Becomes the Way In

We breathe throughout our lives, yet rarely pause to notice the breath or listen to what it reveals. This retreat is for those who wish to move beyond practicing breathing techniques mechanically and begin exploring the deeper relationship between breath and mind.

  1. To Understand Pranayama More Deeply

    For those who have practised breathing exercises but still want to understand how pranayama works, why it matters, and how it prepares the mind for meditation.

  2. To Restore Balance Through the Breath

    For those experiencing stress, mental restlessness, low energy, emotional imbalance, or a feeling of disconnection from their natural rhythm.

  3. To Deepen an Existing Yoga Practice

    For yoga students, teachers, therapists, healers, and practitioners who want to refine their understanding of prana and bring greater clarity, sensitivity, and steadiness into their practice.

Core Elements of the Retreat

How the Practice Deepens Over Ten Days

The retreat unfolds gradually. It begins by preparing the body, observing the natural breath, and developing sensitivity to its rhythm. From this foundation, classical pranayama practices are introduced, refined, and integrated with meditation, philosophy, Yoga Nidra, mantra, sound, and personal guidance.

The purpose is not to force the breath, hold it for long periods, or pursue intense experiences. The emphasis is on safety, steadiness, awareness, and a direct understanding of how breath influences the body, nervous system, prana, emotions, and mind.

Asana

Asana practice preparing the body for seated pranayama

Gentle, alignment-aware postures prepare the spine, chest, diaphragm, shoulders, and respiratory system for comfortable seated pranayama practice.

Classical Pranayama

Specific breathing techniques are introduced gradually to regulate prana, refine breath awareness, steady the mind, and support inner balance.

Kriya & Purification

Yogic cleansing practice during the retreat

Selected yogic cleansing practices help prepare the respiratory system, reduce stagnation, and create a clearer foundation for pranayama and meditation.

Meditation

A guided meditation session during the retreat

Guided meditation develops awareness of the relationship between breath, thought, emotion, and inner experience without forcing or suppressing what arises.

Yoga Nidra

A Yoga Nidra session during the retreat

Yoga Nidra supports deep rest and nervous-system recovery, allowing the body and mind to absorb and integrate the effects of daily practice.

Yogic Philosophy

A yogic philosophy session during the retreat

Philosophy sessions explore prana, breath, nadis, mind, awareness, meditation, and the deeper purpose of pranayama through classical yogic teachings.

Mantra & Sound Healing

Mantra chanting and sound healing encourage subtle listening, energetic balance, relaxation, and an experience of stillness beyond ordinary thinking.

Personalised Guidance

Meet Your Lead Teacher

Sunil Sharma

Sunil Sharma is the founder of Yoganga Healing and the guiding teacher of the Pranayama Healing Retreat. His work brings together classical yoga, pranayama, meditation, yogic philosophy, and psychological understanding. He does not teach pranayama as a collection of techniques, but as a way of understanding how breath reflects the condition of the body, nervous system, emotions, energy, and mind.

His presence is calm, attentive, and deeply grounded. Rather than pushing students toward intense experiences, he guides each participant according to their capacity—preparing the body, refining the breath, balancing prana, and helping the mind settle naturally. Through his guidance, pranayama becomes a practice of listening, inner understanding, and return to stillness.

What This Retreat Can Support

  1. A Calmer Nervous System

    Slower, more conscious breathing can support relaxation, reduce mental agitation, and help the body gradually move out of a constant state of stress.

  2. Deeper Breath Awareness

    You begin to recognise habitual breathing patterns and understand how the breath changes in response to thought, emotion, posture, and energy.

  3. Greater Mental Clarity

    As the breath becomes more balanced, the mind may become quieter, supporting concentration, steadiness, and clearer inner observation.

  4. Balanced Energy & Vitality

    As the breath becomes more balanced, the mind may become quieter, supporting concentration, steadiness, and clearer inner observation.

  5. Emotional Steadiness

    Breath awareness creates more space between experience and reaction, allowing emotions to be observed with greater clarity and less urgency.

  6. A Personal Practice for Daily Life

    By the end of the retreat, you will receive guidance on how to continue pranayama, breath awareness, and meditation safely at home. The practices will be selected according to your understanding, experience, and capacity.

After the Retreat

Continued Support After the Retreat

After the retreat, students are invited to join the Yoganga Healing Circle, a WhatsApp community offering free monthly sessions on yoga, healing, breath, meditation, and inner work. You can also stay connected with Sunil Sharma via email or WhatsApp for guidance as you continue your practice.

We look forward to welcoming you and your community to Soham.
