The 2011 retreat is announced for 14-16 October with theme "Love, Compassion & Detachment". See the Home Page for more details.
Yoga, Laughter and Other Joys is about the Creative Spirit that is the Voice of the Unknown in all of us.
This workshop will include guided yoga classes, yoga nidra, meditation, storytelling, writing, art, movement, mime and voice.
It requires that participants have been practicing yoga for at least 6 months or have completed a Foundation Course in yoga. No other previous experience is necessary.
The workshop is intended to be a joyful exploration of our creativity and teaches us how to make yoga an integral part of our lives, how to take our inner stillness into all our activities and how to practice the joy of being.
