Radiant Living: Kickstart to a Healthy Lifestyle

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

August 31 - September 3, 2018

Spend your Labor Day wisely—invest in your health and experience the joy that sparkles from the inside out. Relax, renew, and recharge as you dive deeply into the aspects of Yoga and a healthy lifestyle that can be applied in daily life to dramatically improve your sense of well-being.

Learn how to develop a healthy lifestyle through:

  • Yoga postures and breathing
  • Optimal nutrition and the best diet for you
  • Mindfulness and meditation in action
  • Movement and exercise
  • Ayurvedic and Chinese medical approaches

During your stay, relax with practices to reduce stress and increase the capacity to have fun. Explore the benefits of natural tools such as fasting, cleansing, aromatherapy, massage, and other healing modalities for personal rejuvenation.

Using the Raja Yoga approach, discover 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 for interacting with different types of people using the “Four Locks and Keys” of Raja Yoga.

This workshop also offers the opportunity to address your own personal health issues, including heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, and more.

Enjoy the added benefit of staying at the Lotus Conference Center (LCC) during the program. Overlooking the Light of Truth Universal Shrine (LOTUS), the beautiful James River, and the glorious Blue Ridge Mountains, the LCC is the perfect place to recharge for the fall.
