Anusara Yoga & Sadhana Retreat
Leaving the ordinary world behind, we invite you to enter the temple of your beautiful Being. There’s nothing more precious than an opportunity to devote a series of days to exploring the depths of your practice without any outside distraction. From September 1-5th, we invite you to let go of the demands and responsibilities of your life and ride the waves of beauty with us!
The serene and spiritually charged environment of the Crestone Mountain Zen Center provides the backdrop for your inner exploration. In the morning you’ll wake with the Sun, invoking the power of Shakti with asana, pranayama, mantra-chanting and meditation. In the afternoon, you’ll enjoy the exquisite beauty of nature outside and inside. In the evenings, you’ll enter the peace of Shiva with more asana, pranayama, meditation and enlightening dharma talks on the relationship between mantra/tantra/yantra as espoused in the teachings of Adi Shankara’s Soudarya Lahiri, The Waves of Beauty. (We also plan on visiting the Laksmi Temple at the Haidakhandi Ashram for evening kirtan and arati ceremonies, in addition to daily Sri Cakra
pujas with Katyayani.)
This is sadhana – which means in Sanskrit “your most invaluable wealth that never leaves you.” It’s what we attain when we give ourselves over totally to our practice. Sadhana is the basis for living a peaceful, happy, and prosperous life. For Yoga teachers and those who aspire to become teachers, the depth of your sadhana is what you share with your students and how you spread your enlightening presence with the world. The more you practice sadhana, the more you gain in your Yoga practice, teaching, and life.
As a result of your one-pointed attention on deepening your sadhana during this retreat, you’ll gain greater experience in pranayama, meditation and chanting as well as asana, a profound basis to develop and commit to your personal practice, and a renewed inspiration to bring the sacred into your ordinary, daily life.
