Navarasa Immersion

A Yoga of Emotions Retreat
​
"A healthy individual is one who is able to experience all the rasās (emotions) as they arise in them, and return to śāntam (equanimity) after the experience." - Sri TKV Kriṣṇamāchārya, Father of Modern Yoga
​
​What is Navarasa Immersion?
​Nātyaśāstra, the classical Indian dance tradition, speaks of nine primary rasās (energy underlying emotions) that is universal.
