Join us for the online Spring Integral Yoga Retreat: From Bondage to Liberation, and discover how the various paths of Yoga help us move from suffering to supreme peace. In daily life, we face numerous binding challenges. Now, over a year into a pandemic, we could all benefit from a special time to revitalize, rejuvenate, and re-strengthen ourselves to face these challenges. Integral Yoga provides the practices that assist us in overcoming the difficulties we face, helping us to heal the tensions and anxieties of the mind and body and reclaim our inherent freedom and bliss.

For over fifty years, Integral Yoga has offered silent retreats to provide participants with the opportunity for inner reflection and serenity. By cultivating silence and stillness, mental and emotional clarity develops, allowing one to experience the peace within. This year, Yogaville is bringing the annual spring retreat to you online, allowing you to access all the powerful programs and classes at home for a comprehensive and uplifting personal retreat.

We invite you to observe silence to receive the maximum benefit from the retreat, however, we recognize that obligations of daily life at home may make speech necessary for some. For those yearning for the silent retreat experience, we will guide you to transform your home into a quiet sanctuary. For those who are caretakers or busy householders for whom speech is required, we welcome you to join the sessions and weave them into your daily obligations.

No matter your approach, the Spring Integral Yoga Retreat will uplift you with engaging talks, daily Yoga practices, and opportunities for inner reflection. Explore the paths and practices of Integral Yoga and how they help us move from bondage to spiritual liberation, from suffering to supreme peace.

This retreat provides:

• Opportunities to experience inner and outer peace and tranquility
• Instruction in pranayama (yogic breathing techniques), meditation, and Hatha Yoga
• Inspiring talks by Integral Yoga senior practitioners, ministers, and swamis (monastics)

The main program sessions are live and all sessions are in ET. The live sessions will be recorded and posted to the Online Programs access page if you are unable to join us live for that session. Recordings* are usually posted within one day and are available to program participants and presenter(s) only.
*You're welcome to turn off your camera if you don't wish your image to be recorded.

You will have access to the video recordings for 8 weeks after the program ends, until June 20.

In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Live Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm ET, recorded Ashram meditations, and inspiring talks with Sri Swami Satchidananda. You will also have access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.
