Lake Gregory Meditation & Yoga Retreat
December 6-9, 2019
Come up to Lake Gregory in Crestline, CA (only 90 mins drive from LA) for three days of Meditation & Yoga. Learn the practice known as "Rounding" in this serene setting. A weekend of Rounding can release stress equivalent to months of meditation. It is an experience of profound transformation
This is an ideal setting to learn Rounding, an advanced technique that works to deeply purify the body through a sequence of Vedic Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation, and Savasana. This deeper purification allows greater stress release and expansion of Consciousness
You do not have to be an advanced meditator or yogi to learn this technique. Like our meditation practice, the sequence is very simple, and done gently. The Rounding procedure will be taught on Friday, giving you all day Sat & Sun to practice at your own pace. If you have already learned to Round this is an opportunity to go deep into the practice in a safe supportive setting
Space is limited to 6 participants with 1 shared room (2 queen beds), and 3 private rooms (queen bed) in this 2600 sq ft home. Lots of privacy and spectacular views on this property
Enjoy nutritionally supportive Ayurvedic meals, Vedic knowledge sessions, Rk Veda (a.m.) and Sama Veda (p.m.) sound baths
Cost $1200
Includes lodging, meals, and instruction
50% deposit due to secure a spot
