Raja Yoga and Satsang

Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  

Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio presents

Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat

Sunday, January 26th

From 1:00 - 4:00pm

at

Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio

61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor

Binghamton, NY 13901

Meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it facilitates access to the deeper layers of our true Self--the source of our being.  And since practicing in groups significantly increases the effects (see research), please take advantage of this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.

The day will consist mostly of sitting meditation punctuated by: 

walking meditation, relaxation, sound meditation, pranayama, gentle asanas, Satsang, and a light vegan Soup-du-jour.  

Join-in at any time;

 stay for as long as you would like and

 invite your friends along; the more the merrier!
