Travel to Rishikesh is either a short 1.5 hour plane ride or 7 – 8 hours by bus or 5-6 hours by train. We work with a trusted tour company called India Highlights and we can arrange hotels and support for travel. As well as private car for sightseeing in Delhi. Prices are reasonable and we trust our friend Khem Singh ( owner of India Highlights) a 108%.\nDeparture – The Yatra will end the night of the 21st with early departure on the morning of the 22nd. You can fly out of Mumbai airport ( BOM) or continue your journey in India. We can help you arrange an extended stay. \nInternational Travel\nFlights to India are quite cheap right now. Fares are available under $500 and some on really good carriers such as Turkish \, Delta\, Etihad and others that are under $800  from LAX. Please arrive in New Delhi and leave from Mumbai unless you are making other plans. \nDomestic Flight\nYou will need 2 or 3 domestic flights depending on where your departure home is. Each leg is approx $50 or less in many cases.\n1) New Delhi to Rishikesh by march 7th. *\n2) New Delhi to Mumbai on the 18th. ( Please email us for the group flight info).\n3) If your return international flight is from New Delhi\, you will need to return to Delhi. This is sometimes cheaper. If you are flying out of Mumbai\, you will not need a 3rd domestic flight. \nPassport and Visa\nYou will need a valid passport and India Visa. India has made easy to get an electronic visa it takes a about 3 days to a week and is very easy to obtain.  However it is only good for 30 days and one entry\, which for one visit to india is plenty. If you need more than that\, then get a 6 month or longer visa\, those take a little more time. You can do it yourself of if you want to make it easier on yourself\, find a reputable passport / visa service and they will take care of it for you with ease. We recommend Ambassador Passport + Visa in Los Angeles\, we have worked with them many times over the years and they always come through and are very reasonable in price. \nAccommodation + Food\nWe will stay in clean\, comfortable nice accommodations and eat clean\, healthy delicious vegetarian food.\nWe do not recommend street food or any water except bottled water. We recommend to being to strengthen your immune system before you go\, good sleep\, vitamins (B\,C\,D)\, pro-biotics and an herbal para-cleanse ( banyan botanicals) are all great immune boosters. \nWe will provide a detailed Welcome + Information letter upon sign up. \n  \n \nParadox + Intensity\nLife is always a paradox and certainly India is one of the most paradoxical places on earth\, full of beauty\, power\, contrast and sometimes dirty\, chaotic + challenging. India is like no other place on earth. A yatra or pilgrimage provides many experiences\, the majority of them will be enjoyable\, expansive and inspiring and in some moments you may be challenged. This is when we practice our Yoga and breathe and smile together. India’s magic is in her paradox\, the people and well over 5\,000 years of spiritual practice. She will blow your mind\, open your heart and remind you that your soul and the soul of life itself are ONE. I have been to India about 15 times and other than the flu i got one on the way home and a cold i have never gotten sick in india ( knock on wood). There is lots of cheap high quality ayurvedic medicine and treatments available. We wil send out how to prepare and what to bring email to all participants. Jai Ganga MA ! \n( Rudraprayag where the ganga river  begins) \n    \n                      The Taj !                                                     One of groups in Hardiwar                               Sacred dip at the Ganga ! \n      with Sadhu MAHARAJ                           w/ Krishna Das + Sridhar in Mumbai                     Kedarnath !                      Making friends in the Kumbh Mela

SUMMARY:Ojai Public Classes at Sacred Space
DESCRIPTION:  \nAloha Friends\, \nWe are in Ojai this week for our training program and due to requests from some friends\, we are opening some of the classes and the kirtan this weekend to the community.  The public events will be on Saturday and Sunday at Sacred Space studio in Ojai. \nThe offerings are: \nSaturday\, December 10\, 2016 \n3:00pm – 5:30pm \nThe Psoas : Messenger of the Soul – $25 suggested price ( no one turned away for lack of funds) \nWorkshop – (2.5 hours)\nwith Sherry Sidoti RYT + Doula \nJoin us for this informative and healing workshop we will explore the psoas muscle\, the most ancient muscle of the human body affecting our structural balance\, muscular integrity\, flexibility\, strength\, range of motion\, joint mobility\, organ functioning and emotional memory. The psoas is intimately connected with the nervous system and serves as a body brain\, composed of bio-intelligent tissue that acts as a hinge between earth/our day to day living and spirit/soul self. \nA tired psoas has been the culprit of many physical & emotional ailments\, keeping us clenched in physical dis-ease and in our habitual survival and coping patterning of our past trauma/samskaras. A vibrant psoas\, on the other hand\, is the mark of freedom in body & spirit\, helping to soften us into the flow of play and creativity in the Now. The ancients understood the importance of the psoas muscle\, which is why in many mystical sciences\, the psoas is considered “The Messenger of the Soul”. In this workshop we will locate and learn the function of the psoas\, look at the relationship between this muscle brain and our emotions\, as well as trauma and patterning in the sympathetic nervous system. We will practice several stretches to maintain a healthy psoas; learn a tension release exercise and end with a powerful psoas release method.  \n———————————————————————— \nSaturday\, December 10\, 2016\n 7:45 pm – 10 pm \n Atma Kirtan \n with Saul David Raye + Jim Beckwith and friends \nJoin us for an ecstatic evening of chanting\, dancing\, meditation & magic. \nATMA KIRTAN : A Soulful Evening of Ecstatic Chanting\, Dancing\, Meditation and Prayer  \nwith Saul David Raye + Jim Beckwith and Friends  \nCome together as one for this transforming evening of sacred music and vibration from the heart to the heart – the practice of kirtan. Kirtan is the devotional singing from the Bhakti (Yoga of the Heart) tradition of Indian saints done in an ecstatic and meditative call and response style. Singing and dancing have long been sacred healing practices to awaken the life force\, connect us to spirit and embody an ecstatic connection to the Divine force that sustains all life. Join Saul and special guests for this ecstatic\, expansive and raw evening of diving deep into the nectar of the heart. This evening is open to all ages and we invite you in the spirit of LOVE to come and experience the powerful unifying and healing vibrations of kirtan.  \n—————————————————————————————————————— \nSunday\, December 11 – $25 \n 9:30 am – 12 pm \n Embracing Wholeness: Yoga of Body\, Mind + Soul \n Yoga Master Class with Saul David Raye + Live music with Jim Beckwith  \nJoin us for this special master class as we delve into some of the most essential yogic teachings on the holistic nature of body\, mind and soul. The ancient yogi’s envisioned a map of consciousness wherein all levels of being and consciousness are connected to one source through LOVE and that we each have access to this source of being at any moment. Yoga is a holistic practice for body\, mind and soul and the fullness of Yoga is experienced as we open to the deeper dimensions of our own being. Join us for a soul-full inner exploration as we dive teachings on the koshas\, the nature of the soul (atma)\, karma and the non-dual philosophy of bhakti and vedanta. We will also have a full practice of heart / soul-centered yoga practice\, breath work\, chanting\, live music and the power of community.
