Details & Theme

The season of Advent is a time to focus on preparing for the coming of Christ through prayer. Yoga or “prayer of the body” facilitates the “prayer of the heart” (meditation) by creating the most favorable conditions within the body-mind for attentiveness to the presence of God within. During the retreat you will learn ways of expressing the prayerful aspirations of your heart through yoga postures flows to the music of song prayers with meditation to follow. A portion of the retreat will be in silence.

This retreat is not officially sponsored by Christians Practicing Yoga. Father Tom Ryan has supported this retreat for several years and will offer lectures and chanting practices. He will be teaching alongside one of our CPY volunteers, Sally Grillo, who will offer the body prayers / yoga asana.
