A warm welcome to the Yoga Nidra day retreat at the time of the Divine Mother Festival
Venue: Viveka Gardens Yoga Farm
Through the yoga practices of asana, pranayama, nidra, meditation and chanting, we will align with and tap into the energies of the Divine Mother to reflect on our strengths and next steps. You’ll also experience all the benefits of deep relaxation: rejuvenation, mental and emotional calm, better sleep, renewed connection.
This weekend sees the culmination of the traditional Hindu Feast Navaratri for the Divine Mother. The Goddess, or Shakti, is Nature. Three major deities representing different qualities have each three days: Durga (Mother and upliftment), Lakshmi (beauty and riches), Saraswati (learning and higher understanding).
“Devi or the Universal Mother gives not only prosperity, but liberation from all bondages. She will remove all obstacles in the path and lead you safely to the illimitable domain of eternal bliss and make you absolutely free.” Swami Sivananda
