12-day Non-Residential Bhakti Yoga, Kirtan and Jivamukti Yoga Retreat - March 5th-16th, 2008

• 07:45 Kirtan, heart songs and Dances of Universal Peace
Sample Workshop:
MantraVinyasa
An ecstatic purifying practice that combines bhakti (devotion), nada (sound), and hatha yogas, utilizing the ocean of sacred vibration to heal and transform body and mind. This workshop balances, twists, expands, fine-tunes, and enlightens each of the seven main chakras, or energy centers, in the body through the practice of asana and mantra repetition.
The powerful healing forces of Sanskrit mantra and kirtan (devotional song) allow us to dive into our bodies, minds, and hearts in a way that transcends a traditional asana practice. Asana, mantra, and music are interwoven to allow you to experience the ultimate awakening of divinity within, divinity without. Your body will come alive with the Love of Divine Presence, and every cell of your being will communicate this to the world! Join us to awaken in the joy of Loving All, Serving All, and Remembering God and Goddess. |
