Have you always wondered what a visit to an ashram is like?!
The purpose of this course is to introduce ashram life to those who have never visited an ashram or who want to reminisce and experience an ashram’s daily routine in the traditional way.
Many of us have limited interaction with eastern religions, yoga or a spiritual guru but are still seeking stress-free, spiritual weekend breaks within the comfort of our own city! Workshops like these are antithesis of our life of technology overdrive and constant action. It will recharge your mind and spirit with a combination of simplicity and meditation, served up on a tight schedule like at any ashram.
As one Sun Yoga client, who wished for an experience like this, said “I’ve been to lots of trips. The scenery changes, but the vibe doesn’t. I need a back-to-the-basics approach that’s unlike anything I’ve ever done!”
So, here is the chance to taste the ashram life. And all this, under the guidance of Sylvie Boisclair
