This weekend immersion explores the subtler practices of Yoga as a path toward self-realization. Through asana, pranayama, mantra, nidra, and philosophy, we’ll experience a blend of embodied practice and contemplative self-inquiry.

Each day begins with more tangible physical practices before drifting into more subtle practices and discussions. We’ll practice a variety of pranayama and meditation techniques and refine our postures. We’ll reference and dissect the sacred texts including the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and Upanishads. Open to all humans. 15 CEUs for registered teachers.

Ben Kalra leads trainings, workshops, and retreats internationally. His teaching integrates classical yogic philosophy with a creative yet structured approach to āsana rooted in Katonah and Vinyasa. He believes good teaching should be clear, honest, and occasionally humorous, and helps students cultivate a meaningful practice through storytelling, metaphor, adjustments, props, and space.

A sound bath is an improvised concert played with the intent of releasing stress, and can facilitate energetic shifts in your mind and body to bring you into a more balanced state of being. Participants lay in a comfortable position on the floor (savasana), while Daniella plays the crystal bowls and gongs, accompanied by her vocal toning. You will be bathed in healing vibrations that help entrain your brain into a deeply relaxed state where physical, mental, and spiritual healing can take place.

please bring your own yoga mat. if you are sure you want pillows and blankets to make your experience cozy, please bring some from home! We have props, but the bath typically benefits from having more than we can supply for everyone.
