Yoga & Ecology- Om TERRA

Om TERRA Immersion

Yoga & Ecology

2020 dates TBA

Participate in the contemplative study of yoga and ecology. In this yogic lifestyle immersion program, we will bring awareness to our present condition to learn how to tap into a higher level of consciousness healing ourselves and our home, Planet Earth.  Among vibrantly beautiful mountains and a pristine river, we practice and play, experiment and experience a wonderful, nourishing yoga vacation.

This Immersion is intended to deepen your yoga practice and knowledge. As such, if you are a yoga teacher interested in continuing your education, our experience optionally qualifies you to receive a 100-hour training. It is not mandatory and does not involve any other work or additional sessions.
