A 3-Day Urban Retreat
Step away from the noise of daily life and spend a weekend immersed in practice, study, and self-inquiry. Urban Immersion: The Path of the Śiṣya is a powerful mini-retreat designed to help you reset physically, mentally, and energetically while challenging your body and mind in new ways.
“Śiṣya” means devoted student in Sanskrit, reflecting a humble, ongoing path of learning. This immersion honors that path — where teacher and student walk side by side, peeling away resistance and reconnecting with truth.
What to Expect
Across three sessions you’ll explore the balance of strength, alignment, and self-reflection:
Friday Evening Practice (6–8 PM): Settle into the weekend with heat, flow, and intention.
Saturday Workshop (1–5 PM): Strengthen mobility, refine alignment, and work through “problem poses” with targeted drills and skill-based practice.
Sunday Workshop (11–3 PM): Dive deeper into postures, philosophy, and tools to reframe your mindset, regulate stress, and find resilience.
Each session is held in a warm room (~90°) to support movement, focus, and release.
Between asana and alignment work, you’ll also explore yoga’s deeper teachings, including practices like Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Vichara (self-inquiry), and guided meditation. Expect to take notes, reflect, and walk away with insights that extend far beyond the mat.
Why Join?
This immersion is designed to:
✔ Refine your alignment and address personal “problem poses”
✔ Build strength, endurance, and stability in body and mind
✔ Release resistance and let go of self-limiting beliefs
✔ Practice tools to calm anxiety and regulate stress
✔ Reconnect with self-compassion, truth, and resilience
You’ll leave feeling grounded, focused, and re-energized — with new tools to carry into your practice and your life.
Who It’s For
This immersion is perfect for:
Practitioners wanting to refine alignment and elevate their physical practice
Students craving a restart, reset, or new layer of depth
Yogis seeking resilience, endurance, and a stronger mind-body connection
Anyone feeling stuck, scattered, or pulled in too many directions
Dedicated students preparing for Teacher Training
Not for: brand-new students, those unable to commit to all three sessions, or practitioners seeking a purely yin/restorative weekend.
Considering Teacher Training?
Urban Immersion is also an excellent entry point into our upcoming 200HR Yoga Teacher Training (Jan–Apr 2026).
Many trainees begin with immersions like this, where they discover the depth of study, discipline, and transformation that training requires. If you’ve ever wondered what YTT feels like, this weekend gives you a window into the process.
