The Coquihalla Experience

At Coquihalla, we offer a combination of theory and practical classes. During Samvad (theory sessions), we discuss various Yogic theories while during Abhayasa (practical sessions) we practice asanas, pranayamas, chanting, mudras, meditation, and kriyas. This also includes sound bath meditation sessions.

The Coquihalla experience is a harmonious fusion of mindful activities. During your stay with us, you will get to partake in various activities like sound baths, full moon meditation, a cacao ceremony that is a part of opening rituals and a closing ceremony.

No, you don’t! Coquihalla is a self-healing journey that is open to any and everyone wanting to reinvent themselves. While it can help to know a little about asanas, you will be assisted by our expert Yogacharyas through all the practices as per your individual needs.
