Yoga Weekend Get-Away
It's been quite some time since my last post...I must admit my creative motivation has been lacking a bit, but after this past weekend, I feel refreshed! If you are looking to deepen your yoga practice beyond just postures, I highly recommend checking out Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch in the Catskills of New York. My girlfriend Amy, with whom I have been able to share my love for yoga, found this unique retreat for us to attend over the Easter Holiday and it was an amazing experience. As per Yogapedia , an "ashram" is "the name traditionally given to a spiritual hermitage or a Hindu monastery. It can be used to describe the place where a spiritual or religious guru and their disciples live". I had never visited an ashram before, therefore I really didn't have any expectations, but after three days of full immersion into deeper spiritual living, I know I will be back sooner than later! Swami Vishnudevananda founded the ranch in 1974
