Hello friend! Today I’m excited to share with you an extraordinary upcoming event (provided by this month’s website sponsor) that may be a bucket list experience for many – the International Yoga Festival, taking place in Rishikesh on March 9thth-15th next year.
Rishikesh, located at the foot of the sacred Himalayas, is known as the yoga capital of the world and is considered the birthplace of yoga – the sage Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutras here more than 2,000 years ago.
The annual Parmasiketan International Yoga Festival has attracted thousands of participants from nearly 100 countries every year since it was first held decades ago. This is an opportunity to connect with like-minded, conscious yogis and empower or initiate a personal transformation journey.
During 7 days of immersion and celebration, you’ll experience a variety of major yoga styles and learn from enlightened spiritual leaders, yoga gurus, evolutionary thought leaders, and wellness experts from around the world.
I have always loved the word “Namaste” which we say at the end of our yoga practice because it means “I bow to you” or, as I was told years ago, “the light within me” Honor the light within you.” you. “
I believe that if we all resolve to ignite the light within and learn to see and respect the light in each other, the world will become a kinder, more loving place.
While you don’t need to leave your city, or even your own home, to experience yoga’s many benefits, including pain relief, heart health, reduced stress, and improved sleep, it’s the shared experience in a beautiful spiritual haven that can be truly transformative. Life.
The festival will be held at Parmarsiketan Ashram, the largest ashram in Rishikesh and one of the largest interfaith yoga institutions in India.
During your week there, you will have the opportunity to attend more than 70 hours of yoga classes in various styles, as well as spiritual and philosophical lectures by famous masters, and you can also enjoy cultural songs and dances that will make you ecstatic. Customize the schedule to fit your needs.
If you’re craving adventure and longing for awakening and connection, I highly recommend you consider attending the International Yoga Festival this March. If you do, I hope you’ll share some photos with this mother of two young sons so I can live through you!
