Joyful Living: Kickstart to a Healthy Lifestyle

with Amrita Sandra McLanahan, M.D. and Lalitha Stone

September 8 - 10, 2017

Relax, renew, and recharge as you dive deeply into the aspects of Yoga and a healthy lifestyle that can be applied daily to improve your sense of health and well-being dramatically.

Learn how to develop healthy lifestyle choices in Yoga, nutrition, and exercise through:

  • Yoga postures and breathing
  • Optimal nutrition and the best diet for you
  • Meditation in action and the practice of mindfulness in every moment
  • The place of exercise in a healthy lifestyle

In this workshop, relax with practices to reduce stress and increase the capacity to have fun. Take time to renew and refresh yourself with natural tools that include fasting, cleansing, aromatherapy, and other complementary healing modalities.

Using the “Raja Yoga” of health, understand how emotions affect health and how to maintain a joyful mind in the context of the spiritual foundations of living. Establish emotional wellbeing and learn skillful attitudes with respect to interacting with different types of people and relationships using the “Four Locks and Keys.”

In this weekend, you will also have the opportunity to address your own personal health issues, including heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, and more.

Embrace radiant health and experience the joy that sparkles from the inside out.
