Come to Portland!!! We'd love you here. Kirtan is like our middle name or something here. Try Ananda Ma Healing space, Blossoming Lotus, Yoga Bhoga, Awakenings on 12th and Belmont, and for the ultimate space ever..try the Nia Space downtown portland. That's where the Jai Ganesh New Years' Eve Party was last year I think it was. Have fun and injoy the journey of this bliss & breath,

Michael H. Cohen EXPERIENCE…

An adventure into the nature of Costa Rica and the true nature of being! The ancient yoga teachings explain that our true nature is always available. But modern living and habitual patterns cause us to forget our essence. Through exploration and purification of the
senses in postures, meditation, sacred chant...ing, self-reflection, outdoor activities and energy practices—we shine the light of consciousness into the darkness to illuminate the path of our life’s purpose and meaning.

☀ Sacred chant, live music during class and Kirtan with Mike Cohen
☀ Dynamic yoga, meditation and breathwork with Marni Task and Laurel Hodory
☀ Quiet time for renewal
☀ Free time for spa services**
☀ Excursions to national parks, wonders and eco-adventures**
☀ New friendships and community
☀ More joy and radiance

**Fees for spa services and excursions are not included in the cost of the retreat. Yoga classes will be scheduled around excursions.
