In this weekend retreat Dr. Rao will deliver a deep dive into the many layers of mind. Never was there a time on our planet where the health of the human mind, body and emotions have been so challenged. To know the myriad of healing benefits contained within the Holistic System of Yoga one must truly understanding the subtleties of the human mind.

The ancient seers of India, called Rishi’s, discovered the micro workings of the human mind within their Yoga practices in deep meditation. They discovered such depth that modern science and psychology are continually uncovering many of these truths even today; the laws of nature, the laws of Karma, the effect of Samskaras, or deep-rooted habit patterns that underlie much of human addiction and suffering. This workshop will tackle this tall subject delivering an understanding of Indian Psychology through the brilliance of the 5000-year-old system of Indian Philosophy.
