“Kriya Meditation & Yoga Retreat Weekend” has been designed by Sheree Grace, RYT200.  Sheree has spent the last 2 decades practicing and facilitating human transformation in the areas of spiritual development and yoga.

The regular practice of the Kriya yoga and meditation techniques that will be taught can and will transform your life! This workshop is about learning a kriya practice through real techniques that work to give you a strong foundation that can further spiritual growth.

Through the use of kriya and meditation we learn to quiet down the mind and focus on what is most important, the present moment.  This workshop you will leave feeling rejuvenated, empowered and ready to live your life experiencing greater Ananda (bliss).  Find out how to access your Peace, Joy and Grace – our real states of being, which can happen organically when you remove what is cluttering the mind, and when you allow yourself to dive deep within.

Here are a few highlights of the weekend:

  • Kriya yoga practices
  • Daily meditation sessions
  • Ancient yogic techniques
  • Journaling
  • Vegetarian meals
  • Traditional ceremony
  • Yogic cold exposure (ice bath)
  • Option to add in massage and hydro-therapy at the Spa (add’l fee)

Yogic Cold Exposure:
Why take the plunge?
Cold exposure has proven to be a wonderful addition to any healthy lifestyle. Frequent exposure to cold is linked to a number of different health benefits. For example, scientists have found evidence that exposure to cold speeds up metabolism. Another benefit of exposing your body to cold is that it reduces inflammation, swelling and sore muscles. Therefore, many athletes use ice baths and other types of exposure to cold as a means to speed up recovery after physical exercise. Furthermore, cold body therapy is also linked to improved quality of sleepmore focus and even to an improved immune response.

Many report health benefits that range from higher energy levels to relief of symptoms caused by autoimmune diseases.

We have found that when practicing breath-work in conjunction with sitting in an ice bath for a specific amount of time, there is a sense of ease and grace that can be reached. Anything that we can do to quiet the mind, focus on the breath, and calm our nervous system brings you optimal health

A few more reasons to take the plunge-

  • You will be challenged
  • You will learn and practice breathing techniques
  • Your will feel relaxed and rejuvenated
  • You will feel like a bad-a**

This is an experience really for everybody, regardless of your age, gender, profession, religion, or belief system.  All levels are welcome.
