Yoga & Mindfulness Freediving Retreats

Yoga is when you stop the thought process and achieve the stillness of the mind. This is it, simple and without gimmicks. Being able to bend as a pretzel does not make you a yogi, neither does wearing white clothes, mala necklaces, and throwing namaste to strangers in Bali. 

Yoga is not something that can be practiced, it is the end goal. What you practice is asana, yoga postures for physical conditioning, pranayama, breathing exercises for breath control, and concentration techniques as a preparation for meditation. 

At Uwesia, we embrace the true essence of yoga, far removed from the modern misconceptions of yoga as merely physical exercise or a trending lifestyle full of new age pseudo-beliefs. Our teachings are rooted in the classical scriptures of yoga, backed by over a decade of real-life experience, focusing on the profound philosophy and spiritual discipline that guide the mind toward stillness and clarity. 

With our yoga retreats in Mauritius, Zanzibar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali & Gili Air, we redefine the retreat experience by returning to yoga’s true essence, and supporting it with the transformative power of Mindfulness Freediving, an approach to freediving and breathwork oriented towards fostering inner peace and self development. 

If you seek a deeper, authentic journey that transcends the physical, recreational and superficial, you have found your sanctuary.
