Ekadasi Psychological
Detox Retreat
15 day yoga retreat with a focus on releasing the effects of past trauma and negative experiences.
21st of Nov – 5th Dec, 2022
Although yoga has become popular in the 2020 world, the comprehensive knowledge held in this ancient science is still relatively unknown. Chakras are at the base of the yoga system of knowledge; the foundation of the practices, the connection from the mind to the body and vice versa.
Practicing yoga without understanding the “energy wheels” is like driving a car without knowing what the steering wheel does. Understanding the intimate relationship between the brain and body can lead to control of our physical life. Each chakra energy powers one of the body systems. For instance, Anahata chakra brings the empowerment to the immune system, giving us the ability to defend our health against any bacteria or virus. Obviously this information is missing in the present world, with it there would be no pandemic.
Ajna chakra is the steering wheel of the ‘mind’ (over matter). Learning the art of contemplation is the sixth limb of yoga practice, Dharana, though rarely taught, it will be taught and practiced in this workshop, to integrate the knowledge of the chakras into wisdom. The ability to know and influence body functions as well as positions (asanas), is a primal part of yoga.
The nine “forms” of yoga will be explained in detail, as each form is connected to one of the chakras. Various types of breathwork will be practiced in the ‘form’ of Pranayama yoga, and sounds used in the mantra style; Raja yoga’s visual concentration techniques used to direct consciousness through the mind. Etc.

Here at Pyramid Yoga Center, we design our retreats and classes to provide you with the perfect environment for your spiritual and physical growth.
This 15 day retreat is suitable for everyone who is looking for healing from past experiences which have left scars in their mental and emotional being. This is the beginning part of a yogic education which goes on to become a comprehensive education, but is here done as a standalone retreat for the purpose of letting go of the past and moving forward with our lives. It has been developed by yogis in the Chakra Yoga System centuries ago, leading into an empowerment through self knowledge, understanding of the energetic aspect of the universe, and a freedom of consciousness.
The retreat is timed to be in cosmic alignment with phases of the moon. It begins on the new moon, using the energy of beginning (seed) to re-write the story of our life with deeper understanding. The breathing technique (which takes 11 days to complete) will come to its conclusion at the full moon which is resolution energy.
The Spaces
Pyramid I
Our main event space is Pyramid I, with enough space to hold 60+ yoga mats, or well over 100 to dance. With open sides to the jungle in all directions, its provides an encompassing immersion into nature. Otherwise you can enjoy the powerful punch of our Beta stereo system, keeping even the toughest aficionados content in events such as our weekly ecstatic dance.
Settled into the jungle at the north-eastern corner of the property, Pyramid I is our signature yoga and events studio.
Pyramid II
The younger sibling of Pyramid I, Pyramid II is located at the south-western side of the property. While it shares many features with Pyramid I, including an open-air design, skylight and secluded jungle ambience, it also boasts a spectacular westerly view of the ocean, making it an ideal setting for sunset.
It has a capacity for over 30 people and is an exceptionally picturesque and intimate space, perfect any small to medium sized class or event.
The Sound Temple
Our Sound Temple is our place of worship to sound and vibrations. Built with around 50 tonnes of sand from the property, the Sound Temple is a special place for all visitors to Pyramid due to its deep resonance and quality of sound. Used frequently in mantra sessions throughout our teacher training courses, it also acts as a wonderful chamber for kirtans and bhajans as well as ceremonial occasions.
