"A Great Learning Experience"

I found that this retreat was just what we needed to get us started in Yoga and Meditation. The techniques and poses were taught well and Ema made sure that we understood what and why we were doing and how it affects our body, mind and emotions. The meditation was explained in detail along with how to properly do all the breathing exercises to get the maximum benefit from the experience. Ema also explained the history which, for me, helped to understand the origin and nature of what would be the end result when applied to my lifestyle on a regular basis. Overall, the experience was exactly what we needed in our journey for our physical and mental health.

"If you want kind, this is not the retreat for you..."

1. Ashram is beautiful with vast libraries, shrine, and museum.

2. The caregiver of the ashram is a kind and quiet man.

3. The teacher organized a surprise kirtan session with the caregiver that was nice though likely uncomfortable for others in the group who did not know mantras or were unfamiliar with kirtans as we were all expect to lead the chants.

4. The teacher was very well versed in the yoga body of knowledge and superb at yoga nidra techniques. One should know that she is not a member of the Ramakrishna group (associated with the ashram) and that she is a disciple of Satyananda Saraswati who has a controversial history.
