About my Retreats + Past Examples
“The real yoga, which is called Raja Yoga, King of Yogas, is to lead a highly moral life. Not morality according to circumstances or according to culture, but true ethical activity in life: not to hurt, not to drink, not to drug yourself, the right amount of sleep, the right amount of food, clear thinking, and acting morally, doing the right thing.”
-J. Krishnamurti at Brockwood Park 1979, Q&A
My retreats are for anyone interested in exploring the intersections of modern-day postural Yoga, what embodiment, presence, and alignment mean in the context of relationship with oneself and others, and the ways in which self-inquiry might inform living a moral life. In retreat, you will have the opportunity to fully engage in Yoga and self-inquiry in a reflective and sharing atmosphere. There are daily yoga practices, a hike in the surrounding mountains, short silent sittings, vegetarian meals, and open discussions. Yoga classes will be breath-centered and focus on adaptation to the needs of the individual. You will explore the coordination of movement with breath to bring attention to the subtle movements of the body, breath, and mind through yoga.
Spend time in nature, diving deep in the subtle through discussions and movement, and spend time with others interested in the same. For those who have a body, mind, and who wish to go deep and learn about themselves and the way they move and interact in the world.
I’ve sat in dialogue with people in Pittsburgh, Ojai, and in five cities in India who debate on the path (Yoga) vs. non-path (Krishnamurti/non-duality). Everyone has their own take on these teachings based on what lens they’re looking through at the time.
