Yoga: an Art of Love

Facilitated by Bob Pileggi and Michael Grohall

November 9-11 - Friday-Sunday

Yoga: an Art of Love

Yoga: An Art of Love combines the powerful, playful and profound experience of yoga to deepen your capacity for self-awareness, acceptance and love. At its core, yoga brings together consciousness of body, mind and heart to experience spiritual union (a state of presence we often call “love.”) This retreat is specifically designed to cultivate unconditional love in each area of your life.

Gentle yoga, Vinyassa flow and Yin Yoga will be our guiding physical experiences, with the support of exploration of the mind and heart, shared intentional touch, journaling, pairs and group work. We allow these to be gateways for dissolving resistance to the love that already exists in and through us.

You are welcome at this retreat whatever your level of yoga experience.

The only prerequisite is your willingness to connect authentically with yourself, other men and your innate love within.

What's Different About this Yoga Retreat?

A combination of love consciousness combined with yoga/kinesthetic presence.
A focus on acceptance as the mid-point to love.
The use of shared touch integrated with yoga postures.
The sharing of practice in a community of gay men.
Clothing optional yoga sessions, per Easton's principles.

Suggestions:

Bring a journal (preferably ring-bound so you can have it open on your mat).
Bring your favorite yoga mat to infuse it with the weekend’s experiences of self-acceptance and love (mats are also available for free use and for sale at Easton's gift shop).
