LIFE IS WORTH LIVING

Our 4-day retreat explores the natural rhythm of contraction and expansion, concealment and grace. When we come to understand that our worthiness is not built upon life only feeling expansive, bright, and beautiful, we can use the contracted moments to help us ground and steady ourselves.
In this 4 day Anusara yoga retreat, these 3 master teachers will support you to:

  • Address misalignments and patterns of movement that keep us asleep to the blissful core of who we are.

  • Reveal the wisdom teachings of Non-dual Tantric philosophy at the heart of Anusara Yoga.

  • Navigate life’s ups and downs while staying connected to sacred presence and unfettered joy.
