They are regarded as the first yoga textbook ever written, forming the theoretical and philosophical basis of yoga, emphasizing control of the mind, liberation and transcendental knowledge.

The Yoga Sutras were written at a time when people lived physically active lives. This may explain why Patanjali wrote these sutras as a means to achieve concentration and mental development, allowing practitioners to move beyond the purely physical realm.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS TRIP?

Colours, aromas of spices, exotic flavours and, above all, spirituality. India is the birthplace of yoga and meditation and now the place to let yourself be carried away in wonder. Do you need answers? Do you crave serenity? On this trip you will reach your desired balance between body and spirit. It will be an authentic voyage toward inner peace.

In a life full of chaos, stress and anxiety, we suggest emptying the mind, freeing the space occupied by banalities and open a door so that only what really matters may enter. Distance yourself from all the noise, “reconnect” with yourself and return with a different perspective, with a new way of being and living.

Our stay will be in Tiruvannamalai, one of the holiest cities in the state of Tamil Nadu, located in the south of India and at the foot of the majestic Arunachala hill. Roughly 800 metres high and with a pyramidal shape, the hill is considered a manifestation of Lord Shiva. Every full moon, thousands of pilgrims surround its base in a purification ritual as part of a magical ceremony known as Girivalam.

The Hindu temple of Arunachaleswarar, one of the most spectacular in all of India, stands here in honour to the god. Lying over 10 hectares of surface area and with 9 magnificent towers, it is among the greatest temples in the world in its category. Nearby, at any time of year it is possible to see worshippers and sadhus, spiritual men or “monks who follow the path of penitence and austerity in order to reach enlightenment”.

A profound energy that permeates the city of Tiru has led to the creation of numerous ashrams which every year attract huge crowds of people from around the world as a part of their spiritual journey. With Sri Swami Purohit, “Swamiji”, we will have the chance to make daily visits to the ashrams. The main ones are:

Sri Ramana Ashram

Also known as Sri Ramanasramam, it was home to Ramana Maharshi from 1922 until his death in 1950 at the age of 70.

Sri Ramana is considered one of the most prominent spiritual masters of India and one of the most well-known and influential Hindu clergymen of the 20^th century. His teachings focused on the atma-vichara, or “self-inquiry” of the soul. In this method, the individual focuses his or her attention on the “I-thought”, with the aim of finding his or her origin.

“What we find in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana is the purest essence of India…” “…they are not only important for the Hindu, but for the westerner as well. They are of great human interest, but are also a message of warning directed at humanity that risks losing itself in the chaos of its unconscious and its lack of control”. Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.

The practice of meditation and yoga in Tiruvannamalai is an unparalleled experience. This unique city offers the opportunity to experience the deepest silence and remain unburdened by external thoughts. Our accommodations will include a brightly-lit hallwith incomparable views where every day Swamiji will impart his teachings to all of us as we practice yoga y meditation.

We will visit Arunachala as well as all of the temples and attractions. We will journey through history and experience the culture and traditions of this fascinating enclave. It is a magnificent opportunity to delve into spiritual practices and promote our inner and emotional growth thanks to the sacred and special energy of this place. This is a trip oriented to the body and the mind, an authentic spiritual experience.

INFORMATION 

The accommodation is next to the Sri Ramana Ashram.

Double rooms and a limited number of single rooms.

Price

• 1,850 Euros / person: Double or twin rooms.
• Limited number of single rooms. Supplement 200 Euros.

9th to 12th OCTOBER 2026

Discovering Ayurveda: A 4-Day Journey to Natural Health & Inner Balance

Step into a deeply restorative 4-day wellness retreat in the peaceful landscapes of Galicia, Spain, guided by renowned Indian yoga and meditation teacher Sri Swami Purohit.

This immersive experience introduces you to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda; a holistic system for restoring balance in the body, calming the mind, and nurturing emotional wellbeing. Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and practical teachings, you’ll gain tools to support your health long after the retreat ends.

Ayurveda teaches that true wellbeing comes from harmony between mind and body, thought and emotion, energy and environment. During these four days, you’ll explore how to bring your system back into balance and reconnect with your natural state of vitality, clarity, and inner peace.

What You’ll Learn:

The Foundations of Ayurveda

Discover the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) and the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, which define your unique constitution. Learn how understanding your body type can help you restore equilibrium, prevent illness, and optimize energy.

Mind & Body: Hardware and Software

Your body functions like finely tuned hardware, while your thoughts and emotions act as the software. When one is out of balance, the other suffers. This retreat helps you strengthen both, improving physical vitality while cultivating mental clarity and emotional resilience.

Food as Medicine

“Food makes the mind,” Swamiji often teaches.

You’ll learn how food influences your digestion, energy levels, emotions, and mental state, including what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat to support your unique constitution.

 The Healing Power of Breath

Breath reflects your emotional state, becoming shallow during stress and deeper during calm. Learn breath control techniques to regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, increase vitality, and restore inner balance.

Emotional Wellbeing & Inner Peace

Ayurveda recognizes that emotional health is just as important as physical health. Through meditation and reflection, you’ll learn how to quiet the mind, stabilize emotions, and reconnect with a sense of ease, joy, and centeredness.

The Essence of Health

“When you close your eyes and you don’t feel anything, because your mind is not disturbed by any part of your body, that is health.”

— Sri Swami Purohit

According to Ayurveda, real joy arises when the mind merges with the heart, when you are fully centered in yourself. This retreat offers a pathway back to that center, where clarity, peace, and vitality naturally arise.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is ideal if you:

• Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or mentally fatigued
• Want natural tools to improve energy, digestion, sleep, and mood
• Seek deeper self-understanding and emotional balance
• Are curious about Ayurveda, yoga, and holistic wellbeing
• Want to reset, restore, and reconnect in nature

No prior experience in yoga or Ayurveda is required.

What You’ll Take Home

✔ A deeper understanding of your body type and natural rhythm

✔ Practical Ayurvedic tools for daily life

✔ Techniques to manage stress, emotions, and energy

✔ Improved relationship with food, breath, and self-care

✔ A renewed sense of clarity, calm, and purpose

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: Beginners’ Course

Over 2,000 years ago, the great sage Patanjali compiled the Yoga Sutras; the very first written text on yoga. This timeless masterpiece is the foundation of all yogic knowledge, offering not just physical practices but a complete philosophy for mastering the mind, achieving inner peace, and realizing your highest potential.

The Yoga Sutras contain 195 concise teachings, or sutras, that guide us step by step toward transformation, helping us move beyond stress, distraction, and limitation into clarity, balance, and freedom.

In this special course, Indian yoga master Sri Swami Purohit will guide you through these profound teachings in a practical, accessible way. Step by step, you will learn not only to understand Patanjali’s wisdom, but also to live it in your daily life.

What you will gain from this course:

Through study, practice, and daily application, you will:

• Develop greater inner peace, emotional growth, and self-awareness
• Experience moments of thought-free silence at will
• Strengthen your focus, concentration, and discipline
• Enhance your decision-making and clarity of mind
• Respond to challenges with calmness, resilience, and wisdom
• Discover practical ways to reduce stress and cultivate harmony

Practical benefits you can expect:

• The ability to concentrate deeply on any object or task
• A steady mind that remains calm and centered for extended periods
• Increased awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours
• A deeper understanding of the connection between breath, body, and mind
• Greater energy, vitality, and mental clarity through daily practice
• Reduced stress through unconditional acceptance.

Course Approach:

The Yoga Sutras are not just to be studied: they are meant to be lived. Alongside philosophy, you will practice pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, and physical exercises that align mind and body.

To fully benefit, students are encouraged to dedicate 1–2 hours of daily home practice, an essential part of integrating these teachings into real life.

Course Structure:

• Course duration: 24 months. One session per month.
• The in-person version of the course will be held one weekend per month in Granada: Saturday 9am to 2.30pm. Sunday 9am to 2pm.
• The online version will be published 1 week later, as pre-recorded videos of the live sessions.
• Pace: Each month, you will study and apply 1–2 sutras in depth.
• Practice: Physical exercises, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, and pratyahara (withdrawal from distractions).
• A daily practice at home of between 1 – 2 hours is an essential part of the course.
• Support via email from Swami and his team for any queries or doubts you may have.

You will gradually explore all four chapters of the Yoga Sutras:

1. Samadhi Pada: Developing concentration and mastery of the mind.
2. Sadhana Pada: Spiritual practice and self-discipline to attain the state of yoga: the union of mind, body and spirit.
3. Vibhuti Pada: Advanced yogic skills and inner powers.
4. Kaivalya Pada: Liberation, freedom, and self-realization.

Your Journey:

By following the teachings with sincerity, and committing to daily practice, you will progressively master your senses and your mind. The ultimate reward is the experience of Samadhi; a state of pure joy, inner stillness, and complete unity of body, mind, and spirit.

This is more than a course; it is a journey of transformation, guided by a living master.

Living the Yoga Sutras

This course is designed for students who have completed the 7-year Advanced Kriya Yoga training with Sri Swami Purohit.

Living the Yoga Sutras: Advanced Course

Over 2,000 years ago, the great sage Patanjali compiled the Yoga Sutras; the very first written text on yoga. This timeless masterpiece is the foundation of all yogic knowledge, offering not just physical practices but a complete philosophy for mastering the mind, achieving inner peace, and realizing your highest potential.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are a compilation of 195 guidelines to practice and develop body, mind and connection to the soul. They are regarded as the first yoga textbook ever written, forming the theoretical and philosophical basis of yoga, emphasizing control of the mind, liberation and transcendental knowledge.

The Yoga Sutras were written at a time when people lived physically active lives. This may explain why Patanjali wrote these sutras as a means to achieve concentration and mental development, allowing practitioners to move beyond the purely physical realm.

Ultimately, the Yoga Sutras were written for the purification of the mind.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for advanced students, seeking to deepen their yoga practice and apply the principles of the Yoga Sutras in their daily lives.

What you will gain from this course:

Through study, practice and daily application you will:

• Discover new insights to support both your inner and outer growth.
• Cultivate mastery of the mind.
• Experience Samadhi: the state of meditative consciousness.

Course Approach: Living from the Yoga Sutras:

The Yoga Sutras are not just to be studied; they are meant to be lived.

To apply the 195 tools of transformation in our daily lives requires guidance. A teacher not only transmits knowledge but also embodies it—offering an example of how these principles can take root in daily life.

Anyone can read the text, but its deeper meaning only reveals itself through dedicated practice under the light of true instruction. By living these teachings, conflict is reduced, choices become clearer, and life is guided by calm discernment.

By applying the Yoga Sutras to daily life, you will encounter less conflict, and you will be able to be make informed choices when a difficulty arises.

The Yoga Sutras teach you how to cultivate the mind to fully follow the guidelines: mastery is achieved through discipline and adherence to the rules.

This course offers a practical methodology to recognize what may be missing in your life, and how to bring balance through the cultivation of essential skills:

• Clarity of thought and decision-making.
• Awareness and use of time as a sacred resource.
• The discipline to align action with inner purpose.

Your Journey:

By following and completing the teachings with sincerity, and committing to the required daily practice, you will experience the state of Samadhi.

Samadhi is a state of joy, of meditative consciousness, where there are no questions: all your doubts and queries have been resolved.

In this state, nothing can disturb you without your consent. This is the ultimate aim of the course: to experience, at will, the serenity of a mind at peace.

Course Structure:

• Course duration: 24 months. One session per month.
• The in-person version of the course will be held one weekend per month in Granada: Saturday9am to 2.30pm. Sunday 9am to 2pm.

11th NOVEMBER 2026

We are very happy to announce that Swami Purohit is returning to Jerez de la Frontera with a new course:

PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN UNCERTAIN TIMES

A One-Day Immersive Course in Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz with Sri Swami Purohit.

In a world that feels increasingly unpredictable, true stability is no longer found in external circumstances, but within. This immersive course is designed to help you cultivate a calm, adaptable mind and reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose, regardless of life’s uncertainties.

Guided by the profound wisdom of Sri Swami Purohit,  you will explore how to transform fear into awareness, and uncertainty into opportunity.

The Experience

Through a carefully curated blend of teachings, reflection, and meditation, you will learn how to:

• Embrace change with openness and strength
• Distinguish between real challenges and imagined fears
• Develop emotional resilience in times of instability
• Take full responsibility for your life with clarity and confidence
• Adapt gracefully to new realities without resistance

This is not simply a course, it is a reset for the mind and spirit.

A New Relationship with Uncertainty

Most of us are conditioned to function within certainty. But life does not promise predictability.

When faced with change, we often become trapped not by reality itself, but by the stories we create about it. Fear of “what might happen” can be far more limiting than what is actually happening.

In this immersive day, you will learn to separate reality from imagination, freeing yourself from unnecessary suffering and opening the door to grounded, conscious action.

Inner Strength, Outer Clarity

Moments of uncertainty reveal what truly matters.

They invite us to rediscover our inner resources, reassess our priorities, and reconnect with what is essential. With the right tools, these moments can become powerful turning points for growth and transformation.

This course offers practical, timeless techniques to help you meet life with steadiness, awareness, and quiet confidence.

Join Us in Jerez de la Frontera

Join us in Jerez de la Frontera, the perfect setting for reflection, renewal, and inspiration.

Step away from the noise.

Reconnect with yourself.

Return with clarity.

VENUE: Hiphotel Sherry Park, Avda. Álvaro Domecq, 11, 11405 Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz.
