woods of upstate New York and yoga at Ananda Ashram. Suitable

meditation practices inspired by teachings of Ananda Ashram
founder, Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, to help you with endurance sports
and running. Karmananda will give alignment, posture
and breathing techniques to keep you happy, healthy and strong through many
years of running. Dave will lead the fastest, strongest runners
at the head of the trail . Kristina will teach asanas, breathing
and deep restorative, relaxing yoga classes to ease your muscles,
bones and bodies before and after morning runs. Throughout the
weekend, you will enjoy healthy, nourishing vegetarian meals
and participate in the Ananda Ashram core program.
TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to thank you again for
a wonderful and enlightening weekend. What can I say
other than I've been BLISSED OUT, reflective, proud, and
thankful. Well, if my goal was to reignite my own passions
for yoga and rekindle my love of the Yoga Sutras and Sanskrit
- it was indeed accomplished this past weekend. And
the doubly sublime addition of connecting with Dave Gottlieb's
family (members of Ananda Ashram for many years and generations),
sitting at the feet of Bharati (Ananda Ashram satsang leader
and Sanskrit teacher) and being enchanted by Kamaniya AND
your voice, Kristina -- it was all truly a gift. And
both Elias' and Kristina's technical expertises
regarding the explanations of the postures was truly, truly
great and impressive."
Love and light,

"Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend retreat, Kristina!
It was simply joy-enducing, and I’m hoping to carry it with me for quite
a while – I can still breathe deeply and feel my heart opened up! Hooray!
I really appreciated your overall presence, and your open understanding
of everyone’s
different needs/levels of involvement. It helped encourage relaxation to
know that everything was my choice to experience, and not a forced march! I
felt truly relaxed and open to the world for the first time in a long while,
so I thank you for that."
