An amazing place to change your life, gently and sustainably
I've been to 3 retreats at Vedanta, all around pranayama, the breathwork component of yogic practice. I can't say enough good things about this place.
The people who run Vedanta, Deepak and Kristin, are extremely welcoming. I felt at home there very quickly and have looked forward to returning each time. They've gone out of their way to welcome me back and make sure I felt taken care of.
The facilities are top notch. High quality rustic design with European finishing. They haven't spared any expense putting the place together. And the setting could not be more beautiful, in the southern mountains with a Sequoia forest and hot springs nearby. The center is on a large plot of land with good hiking options.
The food was *fantastic*. All meals were provided and cooked fresh, primarily Indian, but with some twists here and there.
As for the course material, that has been simply life-changing. My first retreat was an introduction to pranayama with Deepak, and my next two were advanced courses with Ganesh Rao, a well-known scholar of Indian yogic philosophy at the Kaivalyadhama Center in Mumbai. Pranayama is an extraordinary powerful practice for getting in touch with your body, quieting the turmoil of your mind, and learning how to exist in harmony with yourself and with the world around you. I had no idea how much tension I've carried in my body my whole life, and now I'm learning relaxation as a skill.
I've brought others to Vedanta and they've had similarly positive experiences. I can't recommend it highly enough.
