Maintaining a meditation practice can feel overwhelming, even when you know how it makes you feel after practice and the benefits it gives. Whether you are brand new to meditation or want to refresh your practice, this retreat gives you the theory that can inspire a strong meditation routine – Join us!

Event will be hosted at Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center – Tucked away in a traditional NYC brownstone on West 24th Street, the center has been serving the city’s Yoga community since 1964. Unlike many other new-age NYC yoga studios that focus primarily on physical fitness and trendy practices, Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center offers a distinctive experience rooted in Spiritual Depth. They provide authentic and comprehensive yoga experience, offering a space where you can connect with your inner self and find true balance amidst the noise of modern life.
