Weekend yoga retreat in October
I will be co-hosting a yoga weekend retreat October 26-28, 2007 at Ananda Ashram in the Catskills. I know it seems a long way off, but we have limited space and we want to let you all know about it so you can reserve the date and let us know if you're coming. Kristina, Rikard and I did this retreat back in February and it was just FANTASTIC !! so we are doing it again ! Beginner yogis are welcome !!
That same weekend, Roop Verma, a world class, internationally known sitar player (really!) will be at the ashram and he will be leading his deep yoga nidra meditation, accompanied by his heavenly sitar music -- and we have organized it so you can participate !

Ananda Ashram is just one hour north of NYC by bus from Port Authority. Easy to get to.
Accommodations at the ashram will be either semi private rooms (2 beds) or dorm (6 beds max). Shared bathrooms are down the hall. All meals are vegetarian and delicious !

Just to give you an idea of our plans (tentative - it's still too early) :
Friday:
Afternoon check in
Evening Yoga with Anusara style Hatha Yoga teachers, Rikard and Kristina
Saturday:
Morning Yoga, afternoon yoga meditation, evening Ashram programs, fire purification ceremony, satsang, maybe chanting.
Sunday:
Morning yoga nidra with Roop Verma
Afternoon yoga.

Cost : Because it is still early, nothing is set in stone yet, but we really try to keep the cost down so that more people can afford to come. My guesstimate is in the $350-$400 range for the whole weekend. Price is all inclusive. Bed, board, food, all yoga classes and meditation included.
Ayurvedic Massage is available at additional cost.
Beginner yoga students are welcome. so mark your calendars ! I do hope you can come join us.
