Spiritual Retreats

Yoga can give you so much more than great physical exercise and calmness—as valuable as both of these are! “Yoga” means “union,” and true Yoga helps you feel more self-integrated, more at peace and in control of your body, mind, and emotions. It guides you to the inherent wisdom and bliss of your own soul.

The Expanding Light offers you a varied wheel of spiritual growth programs, with spokes of the wheel pointing to diverse subjects. Yet all the spokes of this wheel use the same central starting point of true Yoga, internal harmony, where your divine self resides.

Each of our programs will give you more techniques for experiencing yourself in wholeness, feeling that center of calmness within you, and expressing that beautiful quality in all parts of your life.
