Arrival and Departure

The course begins at 11:00am on April 16 and ends at 10:00am on April 23. 

Please plan to arrive at the Yoga Retreat at least one day before the start of the course and to leave at least one day after the course completion.

 We recommend that you spend at least a few days in the Yoga Retreat before the start of your course. This allows your body and mind time to rest, re-energize and be nourished by the ashram environment. You can then begin your study feeling relaxed and refreshed. You may also wish to stay for some days after the end of the course to allow the learning from your study to integrate more fully into your consciousness within the supportive environment of the ashram. If you decide to arrive early and to stay longer, please register for the  Yoga Vacation program for those additional days. Please see Calendar of Events for guest programs on offer around the time of your visit.
