Description
I am excited to announce my next retreat. This event will take place in the beautiful bay of Da Nang.
My practice was quite transformative. I can constantly look for spaces that are hard to come by. These spaces are near nature and offer a peaceful environment. Through such surroundings, it has propelled my journey of self-realization. This land and its energy are indescribable, and I want to share this with each of you.
To be conscientious is to know oneself. To be self-realized is to reach a higher level of self-understanding. In this course, we use “YOGA” knowledge in achieving self-realization. By understanding yourself better, you can achieve breakthroughs like breaking bad habits. You can also break out of a circle of unhappiness. This includes constantly triggering your partner. It also means being overly judgmental and harming your loved ones. Additionally, it involves meeting the wrong partner and failing in jobs. Without this realization, you will keep on bringing your traumas from one relationship to the next. You will constantly fail through your blindside.
Simply put, self-realization will empower you to make better decisions in life for yourself. It affects your career and your relationships. Ultimately, it helps you cultivate better relationships with those you love and work with.
The course includes the first 5 knowledge which is the first half of the Yama Niyama knowledge. In this retreat we aim to focus on self-realization through yoga knowledge. Yoga means the “union of the mind.” The practice was cultivated to unleash the power of the mind. It uses simple practices and knowledge to access a higher self. Dharma is commonly translated as “righteousness”, “merit” or “religious and moral duties” governing individual conduct. With both concepts combined, we aim to achieve a Union or an Organized Mind. Our goal is to help you find a righteous path just for you. It also includes 20 hours of self-practice. This cultivates self-discipline, allowing you to reach deeper states within yourself. You will truly hear the inner child speak.
Inspired by a Mission
My teaching is inspired by the **UNSDG’s third goal: “Good Health and Well-Being.”** After witnessing the toll of corporate stress in the banking world, I committed to studying under **Sri Dharma Mittra**, one of the oldest living yogis. Now, I guide others toward **inner peace through self-realization, pranayama, and meditation**—blending slow, powerful asana with mindful introspection.
CLASSES
- Self Realization Dharma Knowledge is deeply rooted in Yoga’s Eight-limbs of Yama Niyama translated into a modern adaptation. It is the perfection and result of the practices you are instilling into your life. You are finally becoming conscious of your existence. You are using the knowledge in your day-to-day life to help you through difficult situations with relationships, work, and family. Simply put, self-realization will empower you to make better decisions in life for yourself and ultimately cultivate a better self. If you can organize your mind you can achieve anything. The knowledge you gain from this course becomes wisdom. This wisdom aims to prevent you from suffering the same mistakes again. It’s time to invest in your mental health.
- Ahimsa Meditation founded by Gene is deeply rooted in the top Yama Niyama the Eight-limbed of yoga focuses. Ahimsa is non-violence. By setting this intention, we aim to access the inner child. We do this by removing blockages through visualization to seek purification. Purification is removing blockages, blockages are traumas and triggers that inhibit you from becoming the person you aim to be. Often in life, the worst enemy we face is our ego. We can achieve anything we want if our mind is organized. If we don’t learn how to organize our minds, nothing can be achieved successfully. Moreover, without this organization, we will not have mental health.
- Dharma Yoga, which was created by Sri Dharma Mittra in 1975, focuses on the cultivation of love and compassion. He is one of the oldest living Yogis at age 84. Many well-known Yogis, like Jarred McCann, Dr Erin Rose Vaughan, and Talia Sutra, have studied under him. Dharma is known for his Master Yoga Chart of 908 Postures. You see it in most yoga studios. Each asana is illustrated with a photograph of Mittra performing the pose. Dharma Yoga is a modern interpretation of classical Eight-limbed or Hatha-Raja Yoga.
- Yoga Nidra calms the autonomic nervous system. It regulates processes of the body that happen without a conscious effort. These include heartbeat, breathing, digestion, and blood flow. This system also includes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant. It can also help manage immune function, blood pressure, and cortisol levels and induce restful sleep. Yoga Nidra seemed to be more effective in reducing anxiety. The study also suggested that yoga nidra can be a useful tool. It helps reduce both cognitive symptoms and physiological symptoms of anxiety.
- Conscience sharing. We wrap up the practices and knowledge by sharing our thoughts. We then make a promise and set an intention for ourselves for 2024. Whatever mistakes we made up to this point, it’s time to forgive ourselves and make peace with ourselves. The practice here is to forgive and move on. We strive to become better, more loving, and more compassionate for those we love. We did many practices today. As a result, our heart chakra will be open. We are ready to open up and love ourselves and those around us. The result is that we will become better versions of ourselves. In summary, this workshop will allow you to understand yourself better. This understanding will help you achieve breakthroughs such as breaking bad habits and breaking out of a circle of unhappiness. It will also prepare you for the new year ahead.
- Tennis, You will be training accordingly to your level to play the Better Tennis! Depending on your level we will train you accordingly to improve your game through mindfulness ( its 50% of the game!), through practical traning on your serves, ground strokes, volleys, drop shots and slices to ensure you achieve a better game. 4 Lessons will be included!

REVIEWS
Letting go of my worst fear
Your lessons really grow in me.. you know I have not been dating for 3 years.. because I choose to be alone and not afraid of loneliness anymore just embracing it till I found the right one.. not going to settle for less just because I’m scared of being alone
Then if others treating me bad, I’ll forgive them and see it as maybe they have trauma so they are behaving in a way to protect themselves and that cause them to hurt me but I am not hurt but see it as they are hurting and I try to be understanding
I no longer fear to be alone so I won’t settle down for less and I love myself more and I finally know what is love myself and prioritize, my needs then giving into people because I fear of losing them
And I want to thank you for teaching me and I think I made the right decision to have worked on myself and is the best investment and help me throughout this three years
Basically be more self-aware be more open minded don’t be judging don’t take things too hard and let things go and don’t have on it and have bad and don’t be unhappy about it.
I wanna continue the lesson with you when I have more time. Let it be part 2
Self Realisation Retreat Bali
Like the garden looks better than before because i can use the space to practice. I rarely have temper these days But feels like while gaining inner peace, lose lots of joy
Bali Retreat Self Realisation
Thank you for the arrangements. I’ve started a journey I’ve never thought I would have been through in the past years. I believe the starting point is that you’ve made me feel attached with dogs😉. This amazed me. I realized this is the energy and strength of coming out of comfort zone and getting ready for the changes.
I’m not good at sharing but it doesn’t mean I don’t think. I enjoyed the Dharma talks though I always forgot the names of the term🤪. I enjoy being pushed and extending the limit with your support during the practice. It makes me feel that I’m alive and growing stronger. Of course the concert, the sound healing session, the breathtaking session, the team mates, the foods and drinks, the wonderful duck dry rice 😋 , made my days at Bali wonderful!☀️
I would focus on the three things in the coming months and see how changes are going:
Get rid of the obsessions. Go through the process and enjoy it
I’m good enough. I deserve better.
Hold on the most difficult Yoga poses.
Time passes quickly. Time to realize dreams and fulfill myself.
It’s more than yoga
It has been an incredible journey to learn, practice, retreat with Gene. At his class, not only I can find power, but also numerous touching moments. I start to look inward in the quest of my spirituality. The best experience of all would be the Bali retreat. All activities are well planned and it’s really the lifestyle I want to live, surf & yoga. Gene shared in-depth and real-life yoga knowledge with us during the trip, which I continue to practice in my daily life. Thank you again for all the joy and peace you brought to my life!
An incredible teacher and mentor
Gene is one of the most compassionate individuals I’ve had the honor to meet and learn from. He leads with heart, integrity, joy, and truth. His teachings of yoga go beyond the mat and touch upon integral aspects of wellbeing including relationships, self-love, purpose, healing and presence. Attending his classes propelled not only my yoga practice but also my spiritual path. Gene’s teachings and mentorship have been a life raft for me as I navigated challenging experiences in my life. I can’t speak highly enough of him!
