I was able to attend a Kriya rita yoga retreat led by our wonderful girls Zhenya Agni and Nastya Rashmi.
My thoughts about this event are that such meetings with like-minded people are necessary for deeper practice, as well as for obtaining a visual experience of conducting classes from the hands of other teachers. This helps to take a broader look at practices and catch some invisible effect that is overlooked when practicing under normal conditions and comfortable surroundings.
Sometimes, it is even necessary to have practice among completely new people. a certain level of stress in a new environment helps to shake things up and rethink some inner things.
