FALL RETREAT: 2025 Aguada, PR

June 8, 2025

ANNOUNCING OUR FALL RETREAT
2025 Aguada, PR
November 21 - 26, 2025

Retreat Leaders
Jahnavi & Su-Jung

Join us for an unforgettable getaway, guided by two experienced retreat leaders dedicated to making this experience truly exceptional.

Su-Jung and I first met years ago in Rishikesh, and it’s such a joy to be reconnecting now in this new chapter. I’m honored to be collaborating with her and sharing the healing magic of the Island of Enchantment. Puerto Rico has a way of softening the edges and bringing people back to themselves

—I can’t wait to welcome you.

Jai Guru Deva

WHAT IS ROUNDING?

A ‘Round’ is an advanced technique incorporating yoga and breathwork into your current meditation program to relax the body and mind for more profound meditation experiences.

When performed several times in a row, under the supervision of a trained Initiator on retreat, meditators experience deeper levels of rest and stress release than can be achieved in regular meditation at home.

We will teach you this special sequence of asana (postures), pranayama (controlled breath), and meditation that is called ROUNDING.

One Round lasts about one hour and consists of:

  • 10 - 15 minutes of asanas | postural yoga
    (meant to be gentle, no straining)

  • 3 - 5 minutes of pranayama

  • 20 minutes of Vedic Meditation

  • 10 minutes of lying down to rest and consolidate

 

On retreat, we create optimal conditions for this form of deep release. Sometimes we lovingly refer to this as “industrial strength meditation.”

For the best results, we encourage a level of personal surrender, in favor of a sweet and gentle surrender to Mother Nature.

Allow yourself the freedom of choicelessness.

  • Plan to be “offline” for the duration of the retreat

  • Prepare to be unavailable via email, text, and phone
    [ All important contacts can be directed to the course leader’s email ]

  • Bring a Notebook or Journal for personal reflections and notes

Expected Outcome:

Amplified Stress Release
Rounding on retreat provides the equivalent of 6 months of twice-daily meditation.

Return with a refreshed Mind, Body, and Nervous System.

 

STAY TUNED
We will have a pre-retreat call once we confirm all course participants. We are limiting the number of retreaters for maximum comfort for all.
