“Silence and seclusion are the secrets of success. In this modern life of activity, there is only one way to separate yourself from its ceaseless demands: get away from it once in a while." —Paramahansa Yogananda   

Take time from your busy life. Turn down the noise. Power off the distractions. Still your mind. Turn within and let the wisdom of the soul do the talking. Dedicate one day to dive deeply into meditation and experience transformation from the inside out!

Winter solstice is a time to pause and reflect, a time to cultivate vitality and take extra care to nurture ourselves. Moving into stillness, we can return to our lives refreshed and strengthened for the new year to come. This silent retreat day will include instruction, practice, reflection, and connection.

Acharya Sundari Jensen met her guru, Yogacharya O’Brian, in 1992. She is a Senior Kriya Yoga Teacher and has offered meditation classes and retreats for over 20 years. Acharya Jensen is a certified Hatha Yoga teacher, Vedic Counselor, and IAYT certified Yoga Therapist.

O' Holy Night:
An Evening of Restorative Yoga Celebrating Winter Solstice
with Suzette Shakti Pangrle
Wednesday, December 20 / 6 PM - 8 PM

The word “restore” means to bring back, or return to, a former or original state. This practice provides an opportunity to connect with the inherent stillness always present within you. The restorative postures presented in this class will be sequenced for awakening, balancing and harmonizing the subtle and vital energy in the spine, working from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. (MORE INFO & REGISTRATION)
