A Night of Purification, Peace, Pranayama, Postures, and Prayer
Reconnect to your true nature of peace and bliss through these timeless yogic practices set to candlight and soothing bells and chimes. Starting with meditation, chanting, and pranayama to purify negative states of mind and return to the inherent goodness of our heart, we will warm our bodies up with sun salutations and gentle, healing postures as offerings to the Divine within. A deep relaxation will follow, ending with powerful mantras for world peace.

Maha Sadhana of Shri Dharma Mittra
Walk in the footsteps of one of the great yoga masters through his unique Maha Sadhana practice, which Shri Dharma calls "A shortcut to Immortality." The Maha Sadhana is an intense, yet playful, vinyassa sequence known as Shiva Namaskar IV. Many variations to common postures will be introduced and participants will have the opportunity to learn from the teacher as well as from each other. Making everything "an act of adoration," the practice focuses on the true goal of Self-Realization through devotion. Following the asana practice, Michael will lead you in Shri Dharma's unique Psychic Development practice for the purification of the energetic and mental koshas (sheaths), stimulation of inner intuition, and progress towards one's highest purpose.

Detox and Rejuvenation
The way of radiant health based on univeral principles of yoga. Learn how to detoxify your entire digestive system and sinuses through flushes, kriyas, and nauli that anyone can do. Debunking myths of corporate nutritional standards, learn how to maintain radiant health through a diet charged with ahimsa (compassion) and prana (vital energy). From simple balanced vegetarian meals to sprouting and delicous living food options, your life will change for the better. Repeating the words from my guru, "If you eat fried foods you will feel fried. Dead foods you will feel dead. By putting mostly living foods in your body, you become more alive, more awake." If it's a change you've been thinking about, come and don't put it off any longer. Spring is the best time of year to make this change.
