About the Event
Jivamukti Yoga Vacation
June 27-29, 2008
Sharon Gannon, David Life, and Shyamdas
A Yogi is someone who delights in taking a vacation from the stress and
anxieties of the ‘world’ to joyfully with bare feet and a clear head
step into the land of blissful abandon, swimming in delightful speech
and playful movement. Please come to your senses and join us for a wild
transformational weekend guaranteed to heal, rejuvenate and increase
your commitment to the adventure, which is your Life.
Sharon, David and Shyamdas will guide us through the inner and outer
forests, fields and lakes of Menla the holy medicine land high in the
Mountains. Come prepared for yoga asanas, hiking, swimming, meditation,
pranayama, singing, and dancing; all will be offered as nourishing food
to heal your body cleanse your mind and caress your heart. For all
levels: Everyone is welcome. The only prerequisite is a sense of
adventure.
