Program Description

Enjoy a 20% off early-bird discount until October 17. $775 $620!

Life is an opportunity to grow in awareness and compassion, to unfold one’s potential, and to find true fulfillment and happiness. Raja Yoga provides a clear guidebook for this journey. It offers a pathway to liberation—to freedom from all suffering, sorrow, fear and delusion. It teaches us how to maintain our balance during challenging times and, ultimately, how to realize the supreme peace and joy that is our true nature.

Our focus in this retreat will be threefold:

We will be guided by The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the classical text on Raja Yoga.

  1. Exploring the nature of the mind
  2. Understanding how our attachments limit us and how Yoga practice can free us
  3. Examining obstacles on the path and how we can overcome them

There will be daily sessions for meditation, Hatha Yoga and pranayama. Guided spiritual exercises will help you gain insight about your personal journey. You will emerge with a plan to go deeper in your practice and incorporate what you have learned in your daily life. Join us for a weekend of discovery, sharing and support, as we immerse ourselves in the Royal Path of Raja Yoga.
