SUMMARY:Weekend Retreat: Joy of Ayurveda with Leilani
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE \nHealth is a positive state of happiness achieved through the normal condition of the doshas (constitution)\, dhatus (tissues)\, agni (digestive fire)\, and malas (waste). as well as a serene state of body\, mind and senses. The strength of agni and doshas varies throughout the seasons.  \nThe Ayurvedic lifestyle is based on three things: \n• Routine – Performing healthy practices at the same time each day embeds them in your lifestyle. Your body will know when to prepare itself to wake up\, digest food and go to sleep. Regularity in your routines is essential. All of the body’s processes will benefit. \n• Moderation – Provides balance to our lives and prevents overindulgence. Most commonly\, the road to ill health begins with a lapse in judgment. Even though we know better\, we frequently choose to make unhealthy choices\, most often in pursuit of sense pleasures. This might be overloading the stomach with an excessive meal and disrupting our sleep cycle by staying up too late and sleeping during the day\, or suppressing natural urges to cry\, yawn\, or even go to the bathroom. \n• Tuning in to the natural rhythm of the doshas and agni – They naturally fluctuate during the day\, by season and across phases of life. \nBring balance to your life! \nSpecial Guest \nLeilani Jeraffi is a NAMA-certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and the founder of Lani Ayurveda Clinic in Santa Monica. She has completed advanced clinical internships in India\, where she trained extensively in classical Ayurvedic treatments\, seasonal cleansing\, and panchakarma therapies. Leilani’s approach integrates authentic Ayurvedic wisdom with functional nutrition\, offering accessible\, practical guidance to support gut health\, detoxification\, and long-term vitality.\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDaily Schedule \nFriday 1/26:00–7:30pm Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \nSaturday 1/36:00–7:15am Satsang (meditation\, chanting and a short talk)8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–3:30pm Talk: Renew & Reset: Ayurvedic Daily Routine Workshop6:00pm Vegetarian dinner \nSunday 1/46:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch 1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–3:30pm Afternoon Workshop: Self-Abhyanga (warm oil massage)5:30–7:00pm Satsang and Soup (optional) \nArrive Friday by 6:00pm and depart Sunday afternoon\, or stay for evening Satsang. \n. . . \n\n\nRegister\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhoneEmail *Dinacharya & Self-Care RetreatWeekend Retreat (includes private room with private bath accommodation)  (2 nights) - $540.00Weekend Retreat (includes private room with shared bath accommodation)  (2 nights) - $460.00Weekend Retreat (includes shared room with shared bath accommodation)  (2 nights) - $360.00Weekend Retreat - All sessions as a day guest\, includes lunches - $150.00Saturday Talk ONLY - $30.00Sunday Workshop ONLY - $30.00Would you like to make an additional donation?Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Ayurveda Retreat: What’s My Dosha?
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE \nUnderstanding your Ayurvedic dosha can provide valuable insights into your unique mind-body constitution and help you make informed lifestyle choices for optimal health. Ayurveda\, an ancient system of medicine originating in India\, classifies individuals into three primary doshas—Vata\, Pitta\, and Kapha—based on the predominance of certain elemental qualities. By identifying your dominant dosha\, you gain awareness of your inherent strengths and susceptibilities. This knowledge allows you to tailor your diet\, exercise routine\, and daily habits to balance your dosha\, promoting harmony within your body and mind. \nKnowing your Ayurvedic dosha enables you to address health concerns and prevent imbalances before they manifest as dis-ease. Ayurveda emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind\, body\, and spirit\, viewing health as a state of equilibrium. By aligning your lifestyle choices with the recommendations for your dosha\, you can foster a sense of vitality\, mental clarity\, and emotional stability. \nBring balance to your life! \nDaily Schedule \nFriday 10/36:00–7:30pm Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \nSaturday 10/46:00–7:15am Satsang (meditation\, chanting and a short talk)8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–4:00pm Talk: Seasonal Detox & Panchakarma5:00pm Vegetarian dinner7:00–9:00pm Sri Rhitom Sarkar in Concert (suggested donation $30) \nSunday 10/56:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch 1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–4:00pm Talk: What’s My Dosha?5:30–7:00pm Satsang and Soup (optional) \nArrive Friday by 6:00pm and depart Sunday afternoon\, or stay for evening Satsang. \nEXTRA \nBook a body treatment (Abhyanga\, Shirodhara or both) by appointment on Saturday or Sunday.

SUMMARY:Holistic Health Retreat: Yoga for Chronic Pain Relief
DESCRIPTION:WITH SWAMI SIVASANKARIANANDA \nAttend this therapeutic weekend program as a residential retreat or come as a day guest. \nWhen we are in pain it often feels immutable.

Explore pain care practices and techniques intended to change pain itself. \nJoin us for Hatha yoga classes\, breathwork\, meditation\, healthy vegetarian meals\, and educational workshops in a supportive spiritual community at the LA Sivananda Yoga Center. Empower yourself by creating a practical and holistic daily wellness routine. \nThis is a program of the Sivananda Institute of Health & Yoga. It offers guidance from the 5 Points of Yoga in the Sivananda tradition and the 4 Paths of Yoga. \nIncludes a 90-minute personal health review prior to the program (in person or via Zoom) and a one-on-one mini-consultation at the conclusion.

SUMMARY:Weekend Retreat: Joy of Ayurveda with Lalitha
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE \nHealth is a positive state of happiness achieved through the normal condition of the doshas (constitution)\, dhatus (tissues)\, agni (digestive fire)\, and malas (waste). as well as a serene state of body\, mind and senses. The strength of agni and doshas varies throughout the seasons.  \nThe Ayurvedic lifestyle is based on three things: \n• Routine – Performing healthy practices at the same time each day embeds them in your lifestyle. Your body will know when to prepare itself to wake up\, digest food and go to sleep. Regularity in your routines is essential. All of the body’s processes will benefit. \n• Moderation – Provides balance to our lives and prevents overindulgence. Most commonly\, the road to ill health begins with a lapse in judgment. Even though we know better\, we frequently choose to make unhealthy choices\, most often in pursuit of sense pleasures. This might be overloading the stomach with an excessive meal and disrupting our sleep cycle by staying up too late and sleeping during the day\, or suppressing natural urges to cry\, yawn\, or even go to the bathroom. \n• Tuning in to the natural rhythm of the doshas and agni – They naturally fluctuate during the day\, by season and across phases of life. \nBring balance to your life! \nSpecial Guest \nBased in San Francisco\, Lalitha Vaidyanathan is a Sivananda Yoga teacher and lifelong practitioner of meditation. She is a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor\, currently completing her Ayurvedic Practitioner training with the Kerala Ayurveda Academy in the Bay Area. Lalitha has used the principles of Ayurveda to manage personal health challenges\, including her own transition to menopause. She is passionate about sharing whatever she knows of this ancient science to help others heal and be well. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDaily Schedule \nFriday 9/56:00–7:30pm Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \nSaturday 9/66:00–7:15am Satsang (meditation\, chanting and a short talk)8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–4:00pm Talk: Ayurveda and Menopause6:00pm Vegetarian dinner7:00pm Vocal Concert with Gaayatri (additional donation requested) \nSunday 9/76:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch 1:00pm Karma Yoga2:00–3:30pm Afternoon Workshop: Self-Abhyanga (warm oil massage)5:30–7:00pm Satsang and Soup (optional) \nArrive Friday by 6:00pm and depart Sunday afternoon\, or stay for evening Satsang. \n. . . \n\n\nRegister\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhoneEmail *Dinacharya & Self-Care RetreatWeekend Retreat (includes private room with private bath accommodation)  (2 nights) - $540.00Weekend Retreat (includes private room with shared bath accommodation)  (2 nights) - $460.00Weekend Retreat (includes shared room with shared bath accommodation)  (2 nights) - $360.00Weekend Retreat - All sessions as a day guest\, includes lunches - $150.00Saturday Talk ONLY - $30.00Sunday Workshop ONLY - $30.00Would you like to make an additional donation?Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Two-Day Program: Swami Sitaramananda on Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE \n\n\n\n“Yoga health” is very different from the mainstream definition of health. The word Yoga means union\, completeness\, wholeness of body\, mind and spirit. By self-healing\, we become whole\, perfect and complete. It’s the most essential topic because it’s about you. It’s about your life. It’s about healing from suffering—physical\, mental\, emotional. When you don’t know why you are here\, it can be also spiritual; you feel that you are in darkness.When the mind is agitated\, restless\, fearful\, always looking for something\, running\, jumping\, hiding\, the mind is not clear. You are not peaceful\, you’re not happy. It is important to calm your mind down so that you can recognize yourself. By contemplation\, you realize the Self. According to Vedanta philosophy\, the nature ofthe Self is happiness and knowledge. \n\n\n\nWe hope you can join us for this special retreat. Take time for yourself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial Guest Speaker\n\n\n\nAcharya Swami Sitaramananda (b. 1953) is in charge of the US West Coast and Asian Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers and Ashrams. She is director of the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm in Grass Valley\, CA and the Yoga Resort in Dalat\, Vietnam. A direct disciple of Swami Vishnudevananda\, she has been an active Karma yogi since 1982\, training thousands of Karma Yogis around the world. Her teaching style is dynamic and very clear. Her wisdom touches your heart. \n\n\n\nSwami Sitaramananda has always had an interest in health and healing\, especially in mental and emotional healing\, and is an advocate of the effects of yoga and meditation in health. She created the Sivananda Yoga Health Educator Training Program\, a 800-hour intensive program to help bridging medical sciences and classical Yoga. \n\n\n\nDaily Schedule\n\n\n\nMonday 6/154:00–5:30pm Afternoon Talk: Overcoming Fear\, Anxiety and Stress6:00–7:30pm All-Levels Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \n\n\n\nTuesday 6/166:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am All-Levels Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch1:00pm Karma Yoga4:00–5:30pm Afternoon Talk: Resilience in Life Struggles6:00–7:30pm All-Levels Yoga Asana Class7:30pm Vegetarian dinner \n\n\n\nWednesday 6/176:00–7:15am Satsang8:00am Light breakfast10:00–11:30am All-Levels Yoga Asana Class12:00pm Vegetarian lunch \n\n\n\nArrive Monday by 4:00pm and depart Wednesday afternoon. \n\n\n\nOr come for the afternoon talk\, yoga and dinner! \n\n\n\nOnline: $120.
