Prana hosted the internationally-renowned Art of Living Retreat from January 21-25, and it was such a success that we are already planning the next one!

Scheduled for March 10th, - March 14th, 2008, this worldwide spirituality workshop is based on the ancient Vedic Knowledge of Life, adapted to the needs of modern life by spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar , founder of the Indian-based Art of Living Foundation. Sri Sri's unique, world-renowned breathing techniques aim to relieve stress on an individual level, and disease and violence on a broader level.

Twelve participants joined the January retreat to address those aspects of a busy modern lifestyle that can be overwhelming at times, and to restore balance and perspective into their lives.

They took part in five, three-hour evening sessions comprising meditation, stretching and breathing exercises. Among the benefits of taking part were reduced stress, improved efficiency and productivity, more joy and enthusiasm, heightened self-esteem and interpersonal skills, greater awareness and perception, and enhanced beauty, health and wellbeing.
