Sadhana–Deepening Your Yoga Practice

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.

  • An initial personalized Ayurvedic Consultation and Yogic Evaluation
