Meeting the Moment, One-Day Retreat 

with Swami Satyananda from Yasodhara Ashram

Saturday, May 18th

10am to noon and 1:30 to 3:30pm

Cost: $80

 

“Instead of letting the mind wander to the turmoil of the past or future, we can engage in what is essential right now. This spontaneity brings life to our actions and interactions; it can bring our lives to life.”  ~ Swami Radhananda, Living the Practice

 

What is the potential of this moment – not the past or the future – this moment? Can I listen in ‘present time’, tuning into where I stand now in my life? How do I meet the complexities of today’s world? What choices are before me now?

Explore ‘now’ using a variety of yoga practices, including asanas, breath, visualization and reflection.

Bring a journal and wear comfortable clothes. Lunch on your own from noon to 1:30pm.

Take this opportunity to acknowledge and honor your past learning, challenges and victories. Reflect on what gifts you want to bring forward now to create a life of meaning and purpose.

Living from Love: Tuning Into Your Heart’s Message

One-Day Retreat
with Yasodhara Ashram Teacher
Swami Samayananda

Saturday, November 18th
10am to noon and 1:30 to 3:30pm
Cost: $80

 

“The Heart is symbolic for the center of our spiritual being-limitless compassion and knowledge beyond the intellect.”
~ Swami Radha

The ground of the Heart is where we can open to inspiration and understanding. In this retreat, we offer practices of reflection, mantra, visualization, silence and breath to deepen a connection to the inner source of love. By listening and becoming receptive to your still, small voice, you can clear the way for finer feelings like gratitude and compassion.

What does your heart say? And how can listening to its messages improve your relationships-first to yourself, then to those around you?

Bring a journal or notebook. Lunch on your own from noon to 1:30 pm.
