A Retreat to refine your Yoga with the Planet, not just your Asana practice….
Please join Hasita Nadai and David for this second annual
Yoga, Yoga Gaia and Hiking Retreat in Cheneil, Italy
July 16 – 25, 2010
Join us for an exploration of body, mind, and spirit in the dramatic setting of a small mountain village in the Italian Alps, sitting in a glacially carved out bowl 2001 m high and above the tree line. Cheneil is located on the Italian side of the Matterhorn (Cervino in Italian).
We will develop new relationships with your body through David’s morning Asana classes crafted to awaken you for a day. Each morning session will be unique and inspired by what the day’s activities are. Some days will be for hiking to tall peaks and others just across the meadow.
After morning practice, we will share breakfast together and then decide on which way to venture, with several options offered each day with the help of local friends and guides. We reconvene in the early evening for some gentle yoga and family style dinners with music, events, and fun.
Every day, will also partake in the mind expanding Story of the Cosmos as Hasita guides us chapter by chapter through the creation of Earth and life on it with Yoga Gaia. This story of creation, as told through your body, will have profound results as we deepen out connection to nature next to pristine lakes, high rocky peaks, and glacial valleys.
This retreat is open to all levels and styles of yoga practioners. Families are welcomed and encouraged to participate and we request that children be 7 or older.

Yogagaia leads us to our true and only story, the evolutionary story of the universe, as we know it today trough science. As we open a dialogue with our body we open up a conversation with the planet. We are a mode of this planet. Through our evolutionary story we experience the miracle of transformation and the interdependence of all there is. The universe is matter, body mind and spirit. Yogagaia practice allows us to experience and comprehend the Oneness.
Our bodies are miraculous connectors to other species, to all matter on the planet and to the universe. Inside ourselves, in our cells and sinews, we hold memories of our own individual formation, our evolution from the sea, and even of the formation of our planet and the very universe itself. Yogagaia, as a practice, is a special combination of traditional and nontraditional asanas and flow sequences. It enables us to connect to our place in and among the plants and creatures on the earth and the very substance of our planet. We unlock memories of our evolution in our physical bodies, containers of billions of years of history, through a combination of movement and meditation. (www.yogagaia.com)
