With Radha

Attend this therapeutic weekend program as a residential retreat or come as a day guest.

During this retreat, you will learn how to reduce anxiety with yoga practices, and how to achieve a deep sense of peace and well-being by integrating breath, body, and mind. Learn and experience time-tested practices of yogic principles—highly effective and easy to learn regardless of your experience in yoga. Gain diet and lifestyle tips from the ancient healing science of Ayurveda. Join 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.

This 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.

Includes a 90-minute personal health review prior to the program (in person or via Zoom) and one-on-one mini-consultations each day. Followups possible.

Radha graduated the Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) in 2014, Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in 2017, and began Sivananda Yoga Health Educator Training in 2019. Teaching Yoga classes and courses—including assisting Hatha Yoga, Kirtan and Mantra chanting in TTC—in Ashrams and Centers from California and New York to Vietnam has brought her great fulfillment and experience in relating with a wide variety of students. She is notably involved in the practices of Bhakti Yoga: kirtan, storytelling, mantra chanting, puja ceremonies and japa practices. Her practice of universal compassion has led her to a keen interest in Yoga Health Education (Yoga Therapy), particularly in Health and Lifestyle, Stress Relief, Yoga for Depression and Anxiety, Gentle and Restorative Yoga, and Positive Thinking.
