Yoga Retreat
Luminous Threads of Insight: Weaving Together Practice, the Yoga Sutra & Everyday Life
Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor
March 19 – April 1, 2023
About This Retreat
In this course, we will work with subtle yet strong internal forms of ashtanga vinyasa practice using the imagination to understand the inexplicable in our asana practice and beyond. Wavelike patterns and vibrations that appear as our breath and sensation will be tied into the moment, thought and the full spectrum of emotions to offer insight into meditation and the use of intelligence to experience deep, natural relief within the connection to others and to nature. We will also explore the Yoga Sūtra as it shines a light on today’s different schools of yoga, different religions, nationalities, and the challenges of living in these challenging times.
During these complex times where uncertainty, divisiveness, and confusion abound, as yogis we sometimes wonder, “What can I do to help? What must I do to survive?” We must start where we are—that’s all any of us can really do. Join us for this two-week retreat where together in the magical embrace of nature by the sea, we will explore these questions and what it means to be human in ways that, during even the most difficult times, we can flourish so we may help others to do the same.
