Teachings will be drawn from the Bihar Yoga Tradition and will include asana, pranayama, yoga nidra, mantra chanting, havan, satsang and kirtan.

This retreat is open to all participants, with the intent to support your existing yoga journey, providing classical yoga teachings and practices in a yogic environment led by experienced members of the Bihar Yoga teaching community.
