Fundamentals of Yoga Weekend Retreat at Ananda Ashram
by Shri Brahmanananda Sarasvati, founder Ananda
Ashram, pictured above from Fundamentals of
Yoga:
"Suggestion is the underlying and fundamental cause
of all mental phenomena and is the powerful
instrument of samadhi. The whole universe is nothing
but suggestion; the world lives by it. The greatest
power of nature is the power of suggestion. It is as old
as nature and as powerful as nature."

Immerse yourself in the practice of Yoga, guided by
Ashram teachers offering diverse perspectives from
several Hatha Yoga traditions. During the weekend

alignment, explore heart-opening back bending, find
release through restorative postures and breath work
and discover the revealing nature of simple poses
held in time.
