Living the Yamas and Niyamas: A Pura Vida Retreat (SOLD OUT)

***This retreat is sold out. If you’re interested, you can email us to be put on a waiting list.

How do we use our life experiences to awaken and deepen our understanding of our humanity and our spirituality? Going on retreat can help us reconcile our secular life with the sacred.

Our mornings will begin with yoga and meditation. Following breakfast, the day is yours to explore or relax. We can help arrange excursions, or make suggestions for restorative “activities”.
For four of our evenings, we will have satsungs–“gatherings”. We will explore the Yamas and Niyamas, yoga’s ethical practices of right living. We will use Deborah Adele’s book, The Yamas and Niyamas, as an optional reading guide to our discussion and sharing, and explore how these two branches of Ashtanga yoga help us live more skillfully, compassionately, and with more health and fulfillment. Using poetry, mantra and music as well, we will deepen our sense of wholeness by connecting more fully to ourselves, each other, and to something larger.
This retreat is appropriate for yogis of all levels, abilities and experience.
