This two-week residential course with Mandakini Puri offers an introduction to Yantra Painting as a meditative and transformative practice, combined with daily Hatha Yoga.

Rooted in the tantric tradition, Yantra Painting is approached as an active meditation — bringing together mantra, form, and concentration. Through the repetition of precise geometric patterns and the chanting of Vedic mantras, the practice supports the cultivation of stillness, focus, and inner clarity.

Each day begins with a traditional morning Hatha Yoga session, including asana, pranayama, and meditation. In the afternoon, participants engage in the process of yantra painting, working with a chosen deity, chakra, or planetary energy.

Guided by Mandakini Puri, who has over 20 years of experience and learned the Harish Johari Wash Painting Technique from her teacher Pieter Weltevrede, the course offers a structured yet immersive environment to deepen both practice and understanding.
