In this 3-day retreat, you will have the opportunity to fully engage in yoga and self-inquiry in a reflective and sharing atmosphere. You will explore the coordination of movement with breath to bring attention to the subtle movements of the body, breath, and mind through yoga. We will also listen to Krishnamurti on subjects such as relationship, self-inquiry, and meditation.
