Prana, our very life force is drained daily and is restored when we sleep, if we reach deep sleep. It is restored when we meditate and experience submersion in Nature. However, living in cities, clustered in groups with frenetic lifestyles, we may lack that opportunity to be quiet, sink our toes into the Earth and simply un plug.. This week, our intention is to step out of our daily frenzy, un plug, and focus on the deep quiet within. Deep meditations will follow our yoga sessions with opportunities to release, restore and rebalance. Authentic Ayurvedic body treatments can enhance your overall experience and are available at additional costs. Let’s go get un plugged this winter!

RASAYANA: INDIAN ALCHEMY Rasayana is sanskrit for nourishment to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. It is an ancient art of rejuvenation using grounding, rejuvenating and restorative techniques and treatments to transmute stress, anxiety and emotional tension to vitality, to release toxins and impurities from the tissues and mind, and to reestablish harmony among the cells.

Essentially, on a deep level we know we must at some point fill our cups back up. We know on a cellular level that the electromagnetic input from too much computer, TV and phone time depletes us. Prana, our very life force is drained daily and is restored when we sleep, if we reach deep sleep. It is restored when we meditate and experience submersion in Nature. However, living in cities, clustered in groups with frenetic lifestyles, we may lack that opportunity to be quiet, sink our toes into the Earth and simply un plug.. This week, our intention is to step out of our daily frenzy, un plug, and focus on the deep quiet within. Deep meditations will follow our yoga sessions with opportunities to release, restore and rebalance.

Denise Kirpal Kaur, E-RYT 500, IKYTA Level II, Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner !

Denise Kirpal intentions her life from her heart. Blending a devotional styles of hatha, kundalini and restorative yoga, pranayama, mantra and meditation, her classes and retreats offer a fresh and wisdom based approach to understanding who you are. Discerning between the ego and intuition is one of the most challenging aspects of awakening awareness, and Denise shares from an honest, humble and authentic platform. Incorporating ancient traditions including Vedic chanting, Pranayama (breath attention and practices), Vinyasa krama, Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, Transformational Gong baths, and Guided Visualizations bring light and grace to each class. Denise

began teaching in Annapolis, MD, in 2001, taught in Cambridge, MA at Kundalini Yoga Boston and in 2012 chose California as her home base. She created and leads the Divine Light Yoga Teacher Training (since 2008) and teaches weekly classes in Santa Cruz, CA with Divinitree Yoga

Studio. A graduate of Mt. Madonna College of Ayurveda, she is Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and now runs the Divine Light Healing Center. She loves to be in nature and with loved ones, especially her two adult children and friends. !“I find that when I go outside of my comfort zone I have a chance to grow and learn, so, I go there

often. I feel grateful, I feel blessed and am reminded of how we are all in this together. I am honored and excited to return to Villa Ananda, where I experienced a profound healing in 2010 with the Ayurvedic treatments that inspired me to study and become an Ayurvedic practitioner today.” !

From Rasayana 2014 Retreat • “Thank you so very much for this truly healing, rejuvenating and invigorating retreat. At the core of course was the yoga and your

teaching; but, everything else played a supporting role, The Villa, the staff, the food, the ocean,…I know it takes a lot of planning and effort, thought and care to make it all come together. Such a diverse group..and, yet I felt everyone truly benefited and enjoyed the retreat. And, all this with such grace & ease. I think you may have some magical powers!”

• “You touched my heart, opened it up and inspired me so much this week. Thank you for creating this amazing gathering.” • “Everything suited us perfectly, we needed this week and you delivered as you promised. Thank you. See you next year.”
