Rounding is a gentle yet powerful industrial strength meditation program
One round consists of a yoga asana sequence, pranayama (yogic breathing exercise) and 20 minutes of Vedic meditation.
On retreat, rounding is practiced in a repetitive sequence up to 10 times in a day. When practiced on a 7 day retreat, it provides the same benefits of about 2 years of daily meditation. The benefits of this intensive Sadhana are profound deep stress release, a sense of rejuvenation, and expanded awareness.
There is a level of rest reached that enables us to recover from deeply stored stress and trauma, establishing new heightened states of consciousness that lasts long after the 7 days are over.
It's Like a Coming Home
Share in a life changing experience with a group of like minded people passionate about awakening their deepest spiritual nature.
The Location: Himalayan Foothills Rishikesh, North India
Our retreat will be held at the highly spiritually charged Himalayan foothills, just north of Rishikesh. The atmosphere in this region is bliss. While it isn't a luxury destination in the traditional sense, the luxury is in the deeply spiritual atmosphere. It is a perfect place to let go of deeply held beliefs and allow profound rejuvenation and recovery from stress and fatigue of daily life.
