Immerse yourself in yogic practices to deepen connection to Spirit on this long weekend away from the busyness of everyday life.  Practitioners of yoga have known for thousands of years the importance of withdrawing into retreat.  Removing oneself from daily responsibilities and distractions to focus solely on yoga as union with Spirit can then nourish and sustain you as you move forward into daily life again.  Everyday life and relationships all benefit from taking this time away to explore the inner world.

At Aldermarsh, you are surrounded by the beauty of Nature and taken care of.  Your time in retreat will be a mix of pranayama, kriya, and meditation, all supported by grounding and balancing asana practices.  Free time will be available as well between organized practice times for reflection, journaling, spending time in Nature, or whatever else you feel called to do. 

Gluten free, vegetarian meals are all provided so that you are completely nourished.  

Here's what a previous participant had to say about the experience:

"What a beautiful experience in every way! The location is magical and so thoughtfully designed and built for every comfort. But, most of all, Kalyani led us through a yoga journey of a lifetime over the course of the weekend. Each session was a delight, building on the practices and teachings of the ones that came before. I learned and experienced so much! What a precious gift to go so deeply into yoga practice at every level -- and with enough time to really grow. I never imagined such an illuminating and transformational experience and I will never forget it. Thank you! " - C.C.
