Residential Camp 04
24 – 26 February 2023 @ Bowring Institute #19, St. Marks Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
This year’s first Residential Camp took place at Bowring Institute in Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka. This newly chosen venue, built during the British era, has charming ambience with plenty of greenery and open-air spaces, located right in the heart of the city. To ensure that the course was accessible to as many participants as possible, we once again opted for the abridged version of the Life and Breath course, which spanned 3 days over the weekend.
Day 1
The commencement of the first day was marked by an inaugural ceremony that began with the lighting of the Diya to invoke the Divine’s blessings. Mr. Pravin Manker, the course coordinator, then proceeded to introduce himself, the trustees of Pratibimb Charitable Trust, and the group of aspiring teachers present at the event.
The course began after the inaugural ceremony, and it involved a series of breathing techniques and exercises that were enthusiastically performed by all the participants. Each exercise was carefully demonstrated, with clear instructions provided for every step, ensuring that each participant performed the techniques accurately.
Alongside the practical sessions, there were also theory lessons that were seamlessly integrated with the exercises and explained in great detail.
Students were given occasional breaks during the day to ease their fatigue. The day ended with a dinner where they shared their experiences of the day and engaged in light conversations.
Day 2
On the Day 02 of our camp, we kicked off the morning bright and early as we gathered to practice the breathing exercises that we had learned the day before. These exercises left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The impact of these exercises was truly remarkable, leaving us energized and ready to take on the day ahead.
The day was filled with deep breathing exercises and insightful learning sessions. To cap off this intense day on a delightful note, we headed to the nearby market on Church Street. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to bond and share some delicious desserts together.
Day 3
Day 03 started with all the students participating in breathing exercises at 7am. After a wholesome breakfast, we continued with our regular class, which involved both theory and exercises for the day.
It was an enlightening experience that left us feeling inspired to continue our journey towards better health and wellness.
