Yoga Detox Retreat
With Dada Jyotirishananda and Ramesh Bjonnes
March 16-18, 2012
Fri-Sun
About the program:
For Dada Jyotirishananda, the founder of our Yoga Detox program, health has as much to do with our state of mind as it has to do with our body. In his workshops on Sentient Health, he will share with us the intricate relationship between our chakras and our mental tendencies, and how they relate to our health. He will also introduce a revolutionary, new yogic concept called microvita, a field of energy-consciousness we can cultivate through yoga and meditation to help us maintain vibrant health. Throughout his interesting talks—which are filled with stories, warmth and humor—he will share his wide knowledge of ayurveda, India’s ancient medical system. Lastly, he will give a whole workshop on his specialty topic—water therapy—how to use water for healing and optimum health.
In addition to these exciting and informative workshops, we will have a comprehensive Yoga Detox program led by our in-house detox expert Ramesh Bjonnes. First, a short introduction:
