With Trish O'Gorman
October 15 - 17, 2021
RETREAT BY INVITED PRESENTER
Kundalini yoga is a dynamic style of yoga that serves everyone; all that’s required is an open, curious mind and a willing heart. Experience the unity, peace and joy that comes from this ancient practice. It’s time to heal, to find meaning, to find ourselves, to release fear and embrace love. This retreat is an opportunity for everyone to experience the transformative power of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation amidst the beauty of fall in the Catskills.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Join Trish for this inspiring weekend of personal transformation, using the science and technology of Kundalini yoga and meditation to reconnect, release old habits, limit beliefs and move into who we really are. Over the weekend we will:
- Practice Kriya (asana and movements), applying the technology of Kundalini Yoga to our bodies and minds, and experiencing the effect it has of uplifting our spirit, healing our hearts and connecting us deeply to our true selves
- Meditate using mantra (sound) and mudra (hand position and movement)
- Relax deeply, immersed in the natural beauty of the woods as we hike the Shawgunk Mountains and allow our intuition to blossom, guiding us to our Soul’s purpose
- Journey home to our hearts to find the love, acceptance, and peace that is always present
This will be an opportunity to dive deeply into this experiential practice, explore the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, and find answers to your questions about Kundalini.
