Our approach at Ragmans

Our approach is focused on increased system health by improving soil and plant fertility.  We encourage life and diversity from the micro-level (microbes and minerals) up to macro-level (people!) creating more sustainable farming practices. Much of our thinking at Ragmans has been developed by Juanfran Lopez (left) who has studied and taught in Europe and South America. These techniques were originally introduced by Jairo Restrepo (right), who continues his relationship with Ragmans, teaching here every summer. Our video - Harvesting the Sun introduces Jairo and his thinking. This article also explains our approach in more detail. 

Our goal is to measure the effectiveness of these biological techniques on system biology and mineral balance on plant and soil health.

In addition to this we are developing a high quality range of preparations and techniques such as biofertilisers, bokashi, aerobic teas, mineral chelations, mychorriza, chromatography, lactic acid bacteria, and native microbe reproduction among others methods…. We wish to offer a service tweaking these techniques into specific land situations with local farmers.

This section of our website is a bit complex. We have put some of the tools that we use in the section below. We have also gone into detail with our fertilisation plan for the orchards as it shows how we actually apply these tools. We would welcome comments!

  • Kundalini Tantra Yoga Teacher Training Course

    24 July to 14th August 2018 (3 week intensive training course)

    at Ragmans Lane Farm with Sri Vijay Anand, Ildiko Bakos & Matthew Bazeley

    You will develop a strong yogic practice, discovering many different techniques and using the ones that are the most powerful for you. Your competance in the physical poses or "Asana" will rapidly advance, as will your understanding of how to teach others.

    What sets this course apart from the rest is that all techniques, methods and philosophy will be taught from what is today considered a classic yoga view point but also the lesser taught tantra view point. In reality, Tantra is a fundamental part of the Yoga, the aparent divide is a result of historic social anf political factors that will be explained as part ofthe fascinating yogic history element of the course. By bringing both approaches back together you will receive a more complete yogic understanding and the chance to learn the most powerful ancient techniques that you will not find in textbooks as they are only passed directly to a student from a guru.

    Teacher Training and advanced courses are led by Sri Vijay Anand who is a Yogi, international speaker and visionary. He has worked tirelessly towards the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of humanity through powerful yoga programs and volunteers to run public service projects. He has embraced the role of a holistic educator for the last 30 years in more than 50 countries around the world. His intuitive teaching approach, endless knowledge and engaging style deliver a high standard of training for students of yoga.
