Fall Yoga & Meditation Retreat
The Art of Being Oct 24 - 29, 2010
w/ Surya
Rolling Meadows

"If you want to be happy, be" ~ Leo Tolstoy

In this retreat we will use the practices of yoga postures, pranayama, yoga nidra, restorative poses, self-inquiry, meditation, silence and free time in the natural world to embody the profound understandings of Yoga.

Most of us lead very busy lives. Demands of work, family and the complexity of simply living consume most of our waking hours. From early childhood we’ve been conditioned to achieve, improve and generally be more productive. While this has value, it can become unbalanced. There is little time to understand the art of being.

Much of what we “do” is an attempt to find wholeness, fulfillment, satisfaction and peace in our lives. When this “doing” is out of balance with “being”, the more we do, the more we seek, the less peace and fulfillment we experience.

The ultimate purpose and essence of Yoga is to experience the peace of our true nature, which can only be known when we stop seeking to improve, change or move away from what is right here now. Magically this peace that is always here appears when we stop becoming and surrender to simply being.

"The very source of all happiness is your beingness. Be there. Be still in your beingnesss." ~ Nisargadatta
