Not scheduled at this time.
with Vahini
This weekend program is suitable for yoga practitioners of all levels—beginners, intermediate, and advanced Hatha Yogis. Everyone will receive a challenge!
Challenge your strength, balance, and awareness of subtle energy during this Ananda Yoga Intensive. Explore more challenging yoga postures in stages to suit your body’s needs, and take your asana practice to the next level.
During this retreat we’ll:
- Approach more difficult poses safely
- Improve alignment and energy flow
- Increase vitality, strength, and flexibility
- Connect more deeply with Prana or “life-force”
Experience the subtler, deeper purposes of Hatha Yoga practice
- Use asanas, affirmations, and visualizations to raise your consciousness
- Use pranayama techniques to harness energy
- Practice ancient meditation techniques to improve concentration and unite with the Source of happiness within you
- Discover what you’ve been missing in callisthenic practices: a spiritual experience!
What is Ananda Yoga?
- Based on the teachings of the great Yogi/Master, Paramhansa Yogananda, who brought to the West practical tools for increasing one’s spiritual awareness and achieving Self-realization
- Classical Hatha Yoga, which recognizes that physical postures do much more than aid our physical health. They connect the body, mind, breath, and consciousness into one harmonious flow
- A practice that uses the knowledge of subtle energy to experience the truth that we are beings of energy
