Realign your inner world with a cosmic reset. Start the new moon cycle with a nourishing weekend of hatha, meditation, kirtan, vegan meals, and more. Rejuvenate and restore under the guidance of our dedicated team of Integral Yoga® practitioners.

The new moon is a sacred pause between the waxing and waning phases. Enjoy the serene darkness of the night sky while cultivating your inner stillness. Representing the start of a new cycle, the New Moon reminds us to embrace change as a means of renewal and growth.

Whether you are seeking a breath of fresh air, yoga infused with ancient wisdom, or support in your personal meditation practice, our ashram provides a perfect foundation to spark or continue nourishing your spiritual journey.

Developed by Swami Satchidananda, the path of Integral Yoga uses every aspect of life as a stepping stone towards one’s supreme goal—lasting happiness and inner peace. Integral Yoga promotes an easeful body, a peaceful mind, and a useful life. The practices of Integral Yoga, including pranayama (yogic breathing), meditation, and Hatha Yoga, will help you to realize peace is your true nature.

• Hatha Yoga classes for cleansing and rejuvenation
