Experience the fullness of your feminine nature as we retreat into the depth of intuition, quiet practice and expression. We will explore how we, as women, have the power to use each moment of our daily and spiritual lives to reflect our authentic self. We will invoke the presence of the heart in daily rituals, the scriptures and the physical practices of Yoga. Or do we need to redefine all these ancient ways from our now open presence of heart and mind?
Commune with other women who share the same vision. Give yourself the gift of knowing the depth of your own heart and the wisdom that unveils. Go home with a deeper capacity to love yourself and others, awakened creativity and the inspiration to follow your heart’s song.
 "Nischala’s compassion and love is palpable, you can reach out and touch it and can’t help having it touch you. This has been the most wonderful experience." - DM, New Jersey |
| "Beautifully organized curriculum, warm and knowledgeable teacher steeped in yogic tradition." - JW, California |
