About the Retreat
Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and inner peace through the practice of silence and Ayurveda. Restore yourself in the natural landscape of Asilomar by the Pacific Ocean. Through daily meditation, yoga, and Ayurvedic practices, you'll learn to balance your doshas, establish a nourishing daily routine, and cultivate a deep sense of well-being. Discover the power of silence and stillness as you reconnect with your true self.
With over a decade of experience facilitating retreats and trainings at Asilomar, I've witnessed countless individuals find profound transformation in this sacred space. This year, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr Manas, an esteemed Ayurvedic physician, as our guest speaker. Dr Manas will share his expertise on integrating diet, yoga, meditation, detoxification, nutrition, and stress management for a holistic approach to wellness.
Together, we'll create an unforgettable retreat experience that nourishes your body, mind and spirit!
60 hours of this retreat will contribute towards my 200-hr or 300-hr Yoga Leadership Teacher Training or Continued Education Credits with Yoga Alliance.
About Asilomar Conference Grounds: A Pacific Ocean Haven
Nestled on the picturesque Monterey Peninsula, Asilomar Conference Grounds offers a serene retreat by the sea. Originally designed and built by renowned architect Julia Morgan between 1913 and 1929 as a YWCA, Asilomar exudes a rich history and timeless charm.
Renowned for its natural beauty, Asilomar has stunning walking trails, sandy beaches, and breathtaking ocean views. This tranquil setting has long attracted spiritual teachers including Wayne Dyer (who filmed "The Shift" here), Deepak Chopra, and Adyashanti.
Embrace the rustic ambiance of Asilomar, where technology takes a backseat to tranquility. While Wi-Fi is available, you'll find no phones or TVs to distract from your journey inward. The soothing sounds of the Pacific Ocean, the warmth of wood-burning fireplaces, and the gentle presence of roaming deer create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and self-discovery.
Experience the transformative power of Asilomar, where nature and history intertwine to create an unforgettable retreat experience.
