Peaceful Weight Loss Workshop

with Brandt Bhanu Passalacqua and Anna Neiman Passalacqua

May 4 - 6, 2018

Join nationally recognized weight-loss facilitator and author of Peaceful Weight Loss Through Yoga, Bhanu Passalacqua, as he introduces you to the concepts and practices that have helped him and his students lose weight and find balance in their lives. You’ll explore easeful, breath-based Hatha Yoga as the foundation for developing eating and lifestyle patterns that will help you find your balance.

Peaceful Weight Loss is a gentle, restorative practice that helped its creator and facilitator, Bhanu, lose over 100 pounds. It includes Yoga postures, breathwork, meditation, suggestions for dietary changes, and time for questions.
This program is for everyone—no previous Yoga experience is required. If you have already attended a Peaceful Weight Loss workshop, you will have an opportunity to deepen your practice.

This program continues for three more days into a six-day weight-loss retreat, where you can practice the concepts fully in a peaceful, supportive environment.

Testimonials

The program was awesome and heart-centered. Most valuable was the combination of experiential practice and easy-to-understand teaching.

I came to Yogaville to lose weight, but came away realizing that I needed to work on my mind—gaining peace and finding that the weight would come down. Serving others helps, too!

I totally got what I came for. Thank you!

The presenter and the material are clear and easy to digest. The environment of the Ashram is peaceful, clean, full of good energy and love!
