The Colors of Joy: An Autumn Hatha Retreat for Cultivating Happiness in Daily Life

A Spiritual Living Retreat

“The one thing all human beings are seeking, no matter what their activities or ambitions, is happiness.”

— Paramahansa Yogananda

In daily life, it’s sometimes difficult to remember that our true nature is joy. The trials of life often make us believe we have no choice but to give into our worries and cares. But Paramahansa Yogananda tells us this is false. We do have a choice in the way we react to and experience life situations. He tells us we can choose to be happy and experience that happiness at all times no matter what circumstances we face.

In this peaceful, inspiring retreat environment, your body will experience uplifting, meditative Hatha Yoga classes, and you will learn specific yoga techniques to help make choosing happiness easier. By employing these techniques with determination, you can increase your feeling of well-being and make your journey here on earth a pleasant and productive one for yourself and others.
