From your retreat leaders, Leslie Vincent and Helene Kopel: Sadhana yoga is the spiritually grounded practice we’ve been trained in, drawing mainly from the traditions of Sivananda and Ashtanga yoga. We believe yoga transcends physical practice and is ultimately a vehicle for spiritual insight. Our Chakra Hatha Flow, Gentle and Restorative Flows will provide you with a slower, meditative practice helping you relieve stress, gain insight and connect your Highest Self.
