Living Yoga in the Kali Yuga: Embodying Power and Light in Times of Darkness Jan 25-29 ~ Leucadia, CA
The ancient seers of yoga foretold of a coming age known as the Kali Yuga. This “age of transformation” would be ushered in by dark times in which materialism, narcissism and fundamentalism would eclipse the clear seeing of our place and purpose in the greater order of the cosmos. Fear, anger and suffering would pervade human consciousness – caused by continuing to live under the illusion of ourselves as separate from one another and the earth. As with any transformation, there is simultaneous death and birth, destruction and creativity. There is both potential for greater pain or true healing.
These times make the work of inner work of yoga even more important. For transforming the fear, anger and suffering within us, and moving into the world from a place of clarity, purpose, compassion and love. This balance between living in alignment with truth in the inner and outer world is known as Dharma. From the Bhagavad Gita to Mahatma Gandhi, the yoga tradition has guided us on the path of living dharmic-ly through time of change and adversity.
In this special Five Day immersion, we will dive into traditional teachings and practices to awaken our power and light in the Kali Yuga. This immersion is for those feeling called to to live a more meaningful and connected life, and to make a positive impact on our world.

- Six hours of daily yoga study and practice ~ 12:30-4 + 5-7:30 pm
