AWAKEN! Kundalini Yoga & Ayurveda Cleanse Weekend
With Anna Winkler and Trish O'Gorman
April 30 - May 2, 2021
Program is fully booked
Combining two ancient wisdom teachings to move you into the season of renewal and rebirth
RETREAT BY INVITED PRESENTER
Welcome spring by activating energy that has lain dormant all winter. Together, though yoga, meditation, nature walks, and healthy eating we will harness the power of two ancient practices to shake off fatigue, release toxins, and increase self-awareness and inner peace. This is a rare opportunity to reset in a beautiful bucolic and deeply spiritual environment.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Whole-body healing addresses your physical, mental, and spiritual health, creating a comprehensive foundation to restore balance to your health.
- Kundalini yoga and meditation are practices to connect back into the heart space—an opportunity to cleanse physically, mentally and spiritually. Trish will teach a variety of kriya and meditations specially designed for transformation and transition from Winter into Spring.
- Originating in India over 3,000 years ago, Ayurvedic practices bring balance to your constitution, healing and replenishing body and mind. Anna will introduce the basic tenets of Ayurveda including the 5 Elements and the 3 Doshas (constitutions); she will help you determine your dosha and will discuss the importance of the seasons and cleansing.
Our weekend together will include Aquarian Sadhana (daily early morning practice), Kundalini Kriya, discussions, yoga nidra, evening meditations, and time spent hiking the beautiful Shawangunk mountains—all while following a simple, nutritious, cleansing Ayurvedic diet.
