3 Day Kriya Meditation and Yoga Weekend Retreat in Florida

Facilities

Through the use of Kriya and meditation, learn to quiet down the mind and focus on what is most important; the present moment. During this workshop, you will leave feeling rejuvenated, empowered, and ready to live your life experiencing greater "Ananda" (bliss). Find out how to access your peace, joy, and grace – your real states of being, which can happen organically when you remove what is cluttering the mind and when you allow yourself to dive deep within.

Yogic cold exposure

• Why take the plunge?

Cold exposure has proven to be a wonderful addition to any healthy lifestyle. Frequent exposure to cold is linked to a number of different health benefits. For example, scientists have found evidence that exposure to cold speeds up metabolism. Another benefit of exposing your body to cold is that it reduces inflammation, swelling, and sore muscles.

Therefore, many athletes use ice baths and other types of exposure to cold as a means to speed up recovery after physical exercise. Furthermore, cold body therapy is also linked to improved quality of sleep, more focus, and even improved immune response. Many report health benefits that range from higher energy levels to relief of symptoms caused by autoimmune diseases.

Zen Den Yoga School has found that when practicing breathwork in conjunction with sitting in an ice bath for a specific amount of time, there is a sense of ease and grace that can be reached. Anything that can be done to quiet the mind, focus on the breath, and calm the nervous system brings optimal health.
