What Makes this Retreat Special
This is not just another “course” but a life wire of positive transformation that keeps the flow of knowledge intact to address the ever-increasing demands in the authentic way of Yoga teaching.
Conducted in a rare, mystical setting in the Himalayas, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience allowing you to truly deep dive and live the spirit of yoga in its entirety. From the magnificence of the location to the vibrations of the Ashram's chants, this is a soulful, transcendental trajectory of self-development, empowerment and realization.
Rooted in the soil of truth and authenticity, Eclipse in its capacity as a Yoga School is committed to delivering the best-in-class Yoga experience and igniting the spark to propagate the treasures of yogic wisdom with loyalty and respect to the tradition.
We firmly believe that the knowledge of Yoga grows steadily through sharing and through a positive and constant conversation and exchange between the teacher and student, between the guru and the seeker. Hence this principle is nested at the core of our 200-Hour Multi Style Yoga Teacher Training Course.
Eclipse balances the optimum blend of discipline and structure that such a course requires with the time-tested methodology of empirical exchange and the art of attracting a true seeker to the right guru, orientation, and environment.
The local excursions
Jageshwar: Situated, at the confluence (Sangam) of the two streams Nandini and Surabhi after they flow down the hills into the narrow valley, just 30 km from the Ashram, this group of temples is a major attraction and a hotspot of spiritual experience.
Dedicated to Shiva, established as Jyotirlinga and part of many historic folklores, the Jageshwar group of temples is etched in the memories of the spiritual practitioners from immemorial time.
This temple is also known for Shankaracharya - one of the greatest exponents of the Vedantika philosophy. Idyllic in its setup and serene in its surroundings, this Temple opens the dimension of spirituality that is worth exploring for yoga practitioners from every walk of life, irrespective of the style, lineage, school, methodology, and the levels of their expertise and understanding.
Mahavatar Babaji Cave: located in Kukuchina, this cave is one of the most esoteric and important places in the history of Kriya Yoga, recognized as the origin point of Kriya Yoga - the lineage of the author, Swami Yogananda, who wrote “Autobiography of a Yogi ”. Along with the scenic beauty of the Himalayan landscape, one can easily feel the strong spiritual vibrations and get connected with the masters of the lineage.
Nanda Devi Temple Nainital: Nestled amidst the lush alpine and oak forest, this temple, and its Goddess Nanda have been a major center for Shakti Upasana (Divine energy worship).
The beautiful mountain town is also known for its magnificent natural lake that runs along almost the entire town. Apart from being an important spiritual destination, Nainital is also full of activities such as paragliding, boating, horse riding, and hiking to name a few.
THE LOCATION: GRAND HIMALAYAS REGION
From time immemorial the Himalayas are known as the cradle of Vedic and Yogic civilization. The aura of the Himalayan peaks and their wild yet peaceful natural beauty, reflected in their grandeur and mysticism, enthralled and intrigued the yogis, mystics, tapaswis, scholars and ascetics from distinct traditions and schools. Great exponents like Shri Chandracharya of the Udasin Lineage, Shankaracharya of the Advaita Vedanta, Gautama the Buddha, Mahavatar Baba of the Kriya Yoga and many others treaded the same path and sought refuge in the mighty yet subtle, stubborn yet transformational, rough yet compassionate embrace of the benevolent Himalayas.
This wisdom pertaining to Yoga cultivated and developed in this part of the world, apart from just laying a strong foundation for its own lineage, also ensured that the practice of Yoga and spirituality survives the onslaught of time and remains as inclusive as it was envisioned and indoctrinated by the yogis of the antiquity.
THE ASHRAM: SHRI KALYANIKA HIMALAYA DEVASTHANAM: BACKGROUND & CONTEXT
Shri Kalyanika Himalaya Devasthanam (also known as Dol) is situated in a stunning, pristine area of the Himalayas region in the Uttarakhand State of Northern India. Surrounded by untouched forests of unparalleled beauty, Dol Ashram enjoys the blessings of Mother Nature at its best and offers a gorgeous canvas for spiritual immersion, self-exploration & body-mind-soul alignment.
The Ashram, a beacon of the Sanatana Tradition & Vedic lifestyle, was built by Kalyan Das Babaji with the goal to educate and uplift the spiritual lives of people enabling thus the restoration of life balance & unleashing the potential of our human form. As per the Sanatana Tradition, a human being is the architect of the circumstances he/she creates and hence by being aware about this truth he/she can create a life of fulfilment, by rediscovering the miracle that each person has the potential to untap.
The Ashram welcomes every spiritual seeker with a warm heart & open arms. The center along with its cluster of twenty-one in-built temples demonstrates the architectural excellence in the form of the shrine dedicated to Shri Vidya, believed to bring in peace and prosperity. A group of five temples, the temples of Lord Ganpati, Shiva, Vishnu, Hanuman and Mother Goddess Bhagvati are built within the area of Shri Kalyanika Ashram, reverberating its magical aura. Apart from their captivating beauty, the temples are a central feature in creating a divine ambience with their daily chants, incenses and rituals amplifying the energies for yogic, meditative, and overall spiritual practices.
The heart and soul of the Ashram beats with its in-house Gurukulam (The word gurukula is a combination of the Sanskrit words guru ('teacher' or 'master') and kula ('family' or 'home'). The term is also used today to refer to residential monasteries or schools). Established in the year 2006, Shri Kalyanika Veda Vedanga Sanskrit Vidya Peetham, is the first Gurukulam of its kind where Vedic and Yogic vocation is passed on to the students along with subjects such as IT and English. The aim is to provide education to the underprivileged youth in remote areas & empower the tribes of the region through the gift of knowledge. This is only one aspect of the massive humanitarian work that the Ashram engages in to elevate education & nourish human potential. The demeanor of the students, their beautiful daily routine, the echo of their chants early morning from the Aarti (ritual), the sound of the bells from the temples nourishes the senses & mesmerizes anyone who partakes in this experience.
