Rishikesh, India

March 8-18, 2019

with Dayna Seraye & Courtney Love
featuring Anand Mehrotra

Journey to the mother land of yoga on a sacred pilgrimage of transformation.

We will experience the heart of yoga through deep practice and wisdom transmissions from Anand Mehrotra and many other master teachers, as well as soak in the vibrant consciousness of Rishikesh and Mother Ganga. Join us to explore temples and experience the wisdom and potency of India. For our SEVA project we will support Anand’s projects to serve underprivileged children in Rishikesh.

Rejuvenate on Sacred Lands

You will feel at home for our 10 day stay at the beautiful Sattva Retreat. Located along the holy Ganges River and set on ceremonial grounds, the Sattva Retreat is a sanctuary for immersing in yogic wisdom and living. In its simplest form, Sattva means purity of spirit. It is in this place of purity, embraced by the power of Himalayas and nourished by the clarity of the Ganges, that true transformation can take place.

Located on a sacred pilgrimage route that the yogis and rishis used in ancient times on their journey to the higher Himalayas, Sattva Center is situated 20 minutes from the heart of Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga. Surrounded by the Shiva Lake mountain range (dreadlocks of Shiva) of the lower Himalayas, all of the property faces east and the first rays of the rising sun greet you over the fresh water Himalayan stream. There is an ancient temple in the village that pilgrims used to stop and pay their respect at on their way to the high Himalayas. One can still visit and do ceremony at the temple.

Yoga

Transform with Sattva Yoga, Vinyasa & Yin Yoga

Sattva Yoga is a radically holistic, ever-evolving, transformational practice founded by Anand Mehrotra in Rishikesh, India.

Sattva Yoga includes ancient yogic techniques as well as current evolutionary practices to create a clear path for the individual to experience a full and joyous life.

Sattva Yoga classes are ever-evolving and inclusive. They include meditation, breath work, hatha postures, vinyasa flows, kriyas, mantras, free movement, and wisdom.

There are no levels in Sattva Yoga. Rather, each class welcomes each student to arrive as they are, listen to the needs of their bodies and minds in any given moment, and enjoy practicing together.

You will experience daily 2 hour master classes with Dayna Seraye and guest teachers. These classes will integrate sattva, vinyasa, kriya, yin yoga and bhakti practices. In these heart-opening sessions you will be supported to integrate your experiences and deepen in community. A healing artist, Dayna weaves earth-based practices, somatic psychotherapy and energy medicine into her teaching.

Supporting Children in Need

Our hands-on SEVA project will benefit Anand’s nonprofit organizations in Rishikesh. The Kushi Charitable Society is a 100 % volunteer-based charity organization that aims to develop local educational programs and in doing so to provide better opportunities for underprivileged children and make their experience of this world a joyous one. Today, the Khushi project supports hundreds of children with this grass root project funded 100% by donations.

Hanuman Adventures will be working hand-in-hand with the Kushi based on the current needs of the children. We plan to maximize our group resources to contribute responsibly to the needs of the organization, connect with the children, and experience the rewards of seva.
