Join us for this milestone weekend to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Integral Yoga and Guru Poornima.

Near the July full moon, we traditionally gather to honor our Guru, Swami Satchidananda (Sri Gurudev) who taught us to respect the founders of all faiths and their teachings.

Beginning in New York City in 1966, Sri Gurudev established Integral Yoga as a dynamic spiritual path that has flowered world-wide over the years.
