From Earth

to Sky

Iyengar Yoga Retreat 

 with Eliot

 

At Centre Tara de Bonsecours,

in Eastern Townships

 August 13 to 16, 2025

For information, contact Eliot at info@centreyogaaylmer.com.

 

 

 

 

BKS Iyengar teaches “Humankind stands with its feet planted squarely on the earth and its head in the sky, as in Tadāsana (mountain posture). What does this mean? We are of physical nature, of elements and this body that has beginning and end, and is continuously changing. But where is this individual physical nature evolving out of and into? This we are too, which Guru-ji Iyengar calls the immeasurable sky, cit-akaśa, the vision of space itself. It is the Universal Reality in ourselves that aligns us with a Universal Reality that is everywhere, not changeable by time nor limited by space.

From Earth to Sky is meant to give us time and space away from daily activities to bring more focus and devotion to practice and uncover the cit-akaśa, sky of consciousness which, for most of us, remains hidden in plain sight. By way of study we will consider and gain insight into what is real, what is true, what is important and what is standing in the way of that knowledge. Through potent and effective yoga practices we transform, refine and grow to experience the blissful freedom of being of both Earth and Sky.

Prepare for your retreat

To make the most out of your retreat time, we recommend some preparation at the home front.

  • Take care of any loose ends at work or at home that you think could distract you from being fully present for the duration of the retreat.

  • Explain to the people who you are leaving behind that you are taking these days to be on your own and that you will not be in communication.

  • Leave people at home with Eliot’s cell phone number: 819-923-7077 and Centre Tara’s coordinates (see here) so they know how to reach you in case of an emergency.

  • Put automatic replies on your email accounts.

  • Make a commitment with yourself to honor this precious time.
