The Experience
Sattva Retreat in Rishikesh, India
This immersion is part of the RBY 300-HR Teacher Training. Take it as part of the training or for your own personal development.
You will learn and experience powerful practices coupled with timeless wisdom teachings to increase awareness and step into your next level of mastery.
Using the Bhagavad Gita as a guide, we will explore the powerful concept of Dharma (your unique path) as it relates to your intentions, decisions, relationships and life. This is one of the central texts of the yoga tradition and is as relevant to these times as the era in which it was written thousands of years ago.
You will also develop and maintain a personal sadhana practice designed for your needs at this moment in your life. This practice can form the cornerstone of an extraordinary life.
