Sadhana- Deepening
Your Yoga Practice Fall 2010
Non-certification Intensive
This program is designed for students
of any level of yoga ability, healthy and with ailments
alike , who want to delve deeply into a Yogic and Ayurvedic
lifestyle. Sadhana ( sanskrit for “spiritual practice”)
is for those who want to become more serene and meditative,
increase vitality and energy, and at the same time become
more physically fit, by developing and nurturing practical
and positive lifestyle skills.
For this intensive, we will commit to focusing on our health and well-being
for 20 weeks. Our goal is to establish healthy lifestyle patterns that will
last a lifetime.
Many have found that is has been difficult to carry forward into their lives
the patterns established when they were on retreat at spas and ashrams. Through
this program, this becomes possible, because students get the support they
need to form new, more healthful habits in their current living environment.
As we work together, we will learn more about ourselves through our practice,
becoming more firmly attuned in a spiritual awareness that has physical and
mental health at its foundation.
