Prior Preparation For Cyril Yoga Retreat
Please bring your own yoga mat or you can buy it from our center high-quality yoga mat will cost Rs 3000/-
Drink 3 to 4 liters of water each day starting with a half-liter upon waking. Do not eat or drink (fast) within two hours of the class commencing. One liter of water may be consumed after class.
Drinking water is essential for optimal body function. Although water does not contain calories, it facilitates the body's energetic processes, which is an energy boost in itself. Drink water throughout the day,
Eat breakfast seriously.
Lunch should be avoided. If you feel terribly hungry, eat watermelon or banana has potassium, fiber, vitamins, and the perfect amount of carbohydrates to boost your energy levels naturally.
Eat Nuts and seeds for dinner In addition to fighting fatigue and hunger, nuts and seeds are some of nature's best foods. Including nuts and seeds in your diet can provide you with healthy nutrients and energy.
Almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are all good choices. It is recommended to eat raw, unsalted versions. You can eat them mid-afternoon, and they're the perfect snack.
If you're not getting all the nutrients you need from your food, you may need to take a daily vitamin. Before taking any nutritional supplements, consult your doctor.
If you are expecting Full benefits from the Cyril Yoga Retreat do not drink coffee, tea, or alcohol, and abstain from cigarette smoking and carbonated drinks.
Sleep: All students please try to go to bed early and wake up early. During the period of the course, students are strongly advised to have 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night.
Personal hygiene prior to class: Students should bathe and are advised not to use creams after bathing; this will help to absorb the cosmic energy into your body. Where possible,
bowels and bladder should be empty prior to class. Where this is a problem, home remedies such as consuming grapes and papaya may help.
Health concerns: (Including general flu) must be reported to the teacher before class commences.
What should I wear to class (women)?
A close-fitting tank top and/or sports bra is the best choice. Avoid oversized t-shirts that may fall down poses. One hundred percent cotton tops are also not ideal since they will absorb sweat and become heavy.
Cyril yoga classes are more active You will be most comfortable with clothing that easily moves with you and stays in place. Find something that fits well and you feel comfortable in.
Please do not wear short shorts unless you have longer bike-style shorts underneath. Yoga is practiced barefoot, so wear shoes that can be easily removed.
What should I wear to class (men)?
You don't have to specifically wear yoga pants, but your shorts or pants should be light and stretchy so as to not restrict your movement. Cotton is a suitable lightweight material, but if you want clothing that wicks away your sweat better is also good.
Cyril Yoga Retreat Dietary Requirements:
During your time with Cyril Yoga, you must follow a vegetarian diet and at least half of your consumption should be fruits and vegetables to get the best results. Fruit may be consumed at breakfast (after the class).
You should eat a high-protein meal once a day, the size of two hands cupped. Fruit can be consumed in the evening. Water should not be consumed during meal times, you can drink it 30 minutes prior to eating and 30 minutes after only.
Ashtanga Cyril Yoga Recommended a Diet:
Everything that we eat is food for our soul. Yogis believe that food is the creator of Prana (life force) that sustains our bodies and brings us vitality and health.
Therefore, the types of foods we choose to eat reflect the level of our conscious development. The discipline of yoga suggests a pure (ethical) vegan diet, which facilitates the development of Sativa.
Sativa is a quality of love, awareness, connection, and peace with all sentient beings. Yogis believe that food is our first interaction with the world around us, and if we do not eat with a sense of love, connection, and peace, all other parts of our lives are inclined to suffer.
The basis of sativa is the concept of ahimsa (non-harming). A static diet avoids any foods that involve killing or harming animals. Static diets also encourage foods grown harmoniously with nature, and foods that are ripened and grown naturally.
In addition, the foods that we eat should be prepared with love and positive intention. In eating a yoga diet, we are increasing prana and a higher state of consciousness.
Please take note of these suggested yoga foods, while avoiding foods that do not align with yoga principles. These suggestions are recommended for any level of yoga practitioner or individual seeking a healthy, spiritual path.
Recommended foods: Fruits vegetables, except onions and garlic whole grains, especially oats, wheat, and rice beans, tofu, mung, and adzuki plant-based oils, like sesame, sunflower, and olive oil nuts and seeds, except salted or roasted nuts natural sugars, raw sugar, maple syrup, molasses herbal teas, water with lemon and/or lime sweet spices, like cinnamon, cardamom, mint, basil, turmeric, ginger, cumin, and fennel.
Foods to avoid: Meat, fish, and egg products (we promote a vegan diet). Processed and/or artificial foods, junk food, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, carbonated beverages animal fats, margarine fried foods canned foods, except naturally canned tomatoes and fruits white flour, white sugar (natural and raw sugars only) garlic, onions,
spicy foods stale or overly cooked foods microwave foods alcohol, tobacco, stimulant drugs genetically modified foods (wherever possible) all food must be consumed in a peaceful environment, without rushing. This yoga diet can improve your health, mind, and spirit when combined with asana, pranayama, and meditation.

What to bring
Most of these items can be purchased locally in Goa and for cheaper than in the West, but you may want to have them with you if you don't want to spend your first couple of days shopping.

Warm yoga clothes: If you are visiting in December and January it is hot once the sun comes up and you can spend all day on the beach, but the mornings can be chilly during practice so it’s best to have a tracksuit or something warm.
