Yoga Holiday Retreats Celebrated at the Sivananda Yoga Farm in California Announced for 2014
Sacramento,California (PRWEB) March 26, 2014 -- While every day at the Yoga Farm is special, some are extra special! The Yoga Farm commemorates the holidays by inviting special guests to come share their talents and teachings in honor of the day.
The Yoga Farm hosts many Special Guests throughout the year. They are some of the most accomplished teachers in Yogic Sciences, Ayurveda, Kirtan, and Creative & Performing Arts to complement the satsangs on Special Holidays.
Satsang literally means ‘association with the wise’. Meditating together in a group creates a strong spiritual atmosphere which allows a deeper experience of meditation. In satsang, people of different levels practise together – from newcomers to experienced yoga teachers. Satsang is the heart of the yoga practice. It consists of 30 minutes of silent meditation,followed by meditative chanting of mantras and an easy-to-follow lecture on yoga philosophy or psychology complimented by the presentation of our special guests on special Holidays! Satsang is the gateway to inner peace and new horizons.
