Yoga & Meditation: Coming Home to Love
Retreat / Vacation in Playa Blanca, Mexico
January 22 - 28, 2023
FILLED TO CAPACITY, WAITLIST ONLY FOR BOTH
MARCH 5 - 11, 2023 RETREAT
We are very excited to be returning to our annual Mexico retreat / vacation. We realize how valuable and rewarding it is to be with others in person. Perhaps it is even more important during the challenging times we are all living through. When we come together we believe we enliven the love and light from within and all around us.
This will be our 23rd year of Retreat/ Vacation. The dates are March 5-11, 2023 for Yoga & Meditation: Returning to Source
We are also happy to be returning to Villa Don Manuel on Playa Blanca Beach, about 1/2 hour south of Zihuatanejo.
Interest in this retreat is high so please reserve your space early. We don't want anyone to be disappointed.
Life on Playa Blanca remains safe, peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful.
As always, our retreats are an invitation to dive into the practices of passive & gentle active Yoga, sitting and walking meditation, pranayama & deep reflection. In this exquisite natural environment our days will be filled with these yogic & meditation practices integrated with inspirational dharma teachings held in the safe space of sacred community.
In addition to the two daily practice sessions other optional activities may be offered. This will be determined by the situation at that time. We will keep exploring and keep you updated. The safety of everyone is most important.
Our sanctuary, Villa Don Manuel, is set in a tropical garden with a pool, private access to the beach and delicious meals. This small, intimate retreat offers the rare opportunity of being together in community. Our hosts, Claudia & Toby, who are both vaccinated and stay extremely careful during this time of CoVid, are gracious and look to meet all of our needs. In our experience, Claudia is the best cook on the beach, and very creative in the variety of choices she offers. She is both able and willing to meet dietary needs.
Limited space is available as the maximum will be 16 participants on the platform and 14 housed. Price includes program, housing & meals.
Not included in the cost are the optional activities and alcoholic beverages, which will be available at cocktail hour and dinner at Villa Don Manuel.
The Retreat/ Vacation will begin Sunday evening around 5:00pm. We continue to welcome all levels of experience. Each year we provide a theme to support our transformative Journey as we weave and play with the Yogic & Buddhist teachings and practices.
Please join us for this journey home. It offers the possibility of a more flexible body, spacious mind, open heart and a direct experience of union, tapping into the source of infinite potential.
We invite you to join us for this retreat. We have worked hard to keep the prices low and keep everyone as safe as possible. All participants must have proof of vaccination.

Coming Home to Yourself:
A Yin Yoga & Meditation Retreat
with Brahmani & Jashoda
June 16 - 18, 2023
at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Lenox, Massachusettes
Calling all Yogis & Yoginis of every age and stage of life!
Dear Friends in Yoga -
As many of you know we were back at Kripalu in June for a weekend retreat. It was so well received that we are returning September 9 - 11 for another - Coming Back Home: A Yin Yoga & Meditation Retreat. We all managed to stay well and healthy and dive deep into practice and teachings. It was heartwarming to be together in person and share in the exploration.
We hope you do come and join us on the beautiful land of Kripalu.
To register call 866.200.5203. - Kripalu does not have this up on the web yet. You can call and book R&R to ensure a room. Once listed call back and switch to the program. Housing goes quickly this time of year.
We recommend that you register soon as rooms fill up quickly.
During this time of upheaval in the world and in so many lives it is wise and supportive to give yourself the time to retreat, relax and renew. This weekend will offer this opportunity. The beauty of the land, the supportive environment of Kripalu and the depth of practice and community is an invitation home to your true nature.
We begin our time together with the premise that we are already awake, whole and love itself. However, as humans we often forget. During our contemplative time together on retreat, we will dive into the practices of Yin Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama & Psychospiritual Inquiry supported by the Dharma teachings of the Divine Abodes - impartial good will, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity - also known the Brahmaviharas. These practices and teachings invite us to an experience of wholeness.
We hope we get to see some old friends and meet some new ones. Please join us. We would appreciate if you feel the inclination to post this or forward this to anyone you think might be interested. In advance, we thank you.
In closing, we thank you for your support and are grateful for our continued connection.
May you be happy, peaceful and live with ease.
Our blessings to you and yours,
Brahmani & Jashoda
Wisdom in Every Cell
with Sylvia Boorstein, Brahmani & Jashoda
October 30 - November 1, 2020
at 1440 Multiversity Retreat Center in the Santa Cruz Redwoods.
Meditation, Mindful Yoga & Dharma teachings practiced together provide a profound way to strengthen the container and liberate the mind from habits that cause suffering through both direct insight and inspiration. We can recognize that peace is possible in each moment regardless of life's changing conditions.
This retreat will be filled with periods of sitting and walking meditation along with dharma teachings that will be recapitulated and integrated through the body in a mindful Yoga practice. These sessions will include both Passive (Yin) & Gentle Active practice that is appropriate for all levels of experience.
When mindfulness and yoga are practiced together they help create an inner environment of calm that supports clarity of vision. This clarity promotes the insight that builds as wisdom and expresses itself as compassion, the key to happiness. One is able to grow in tolerance, listen deeply and make wise choices in a life. Additionally, when the teachings of the dharma and yoga are practiced in this seamless way, we have the pleasure and satisfaction of learning cognitively, contemplatively and viscerally. We will explore how to bring the many benefits of these practices into our daily life. .
Sylvia, Brahmani & Jashoda love teaching together. They have been friends and colleagues for years, integrating the teachings of mindful meditation and yoga practice. They interweave the Buddhist and Yogic perspectives with joy and lightness of heart
No previous experience in meditation or yoga is necessary.
