Accessing the Brilliance Within: A Lîla Yoga™ Retreat with Erica Kaufman

Allow the exuberance of peace to nourish you.

For returning and new participants alike, the annual Lîla Yoga™ Retreat is a time to weave together yoga postures, meditation and breathing practices, as we explore the possibility of living in brilliant ease and invite the rejuvenating quality of self-trust into our lives. These practices are powerful means for maintaining discipline while opening paths to freedom in the body and mind. Discover how this interplay of discipline and freedom provides a foundation for greater spiritual focus and growth.

Special optional workshops in partner yoga and contact improvisation will be open to all retreat participants. Learning to live in ease, we will focus on self-awareness and acceptance. Students at all levels of practice welcome.
