As a whole, we are so caught up on thinking that we have forgotten the importance of feeling. When you are finally so tired of the proverbial rat race and know you need to just get away for a few days ... whether you are searching for a weekend program or looking to expand what you think you know about yourself, this is the place to do it. I originally went as a drive home through the Ocala National Forest. I was so captivated by what Gurudev Amrit Desai had to say and it was the spark which fanned my inner flame, encouraging me to think outside of my traditional environment. Originally I went to simply learn more about the 8 limbs of yoga, to see how they could be applied to life off the mat and in a corporate environment. Those 10 days inspired me to go further and become a yoga teacher which lead me to further explore Yoga Nidra and Yoga Therapy. There is something profoundly peaceful about the Amrit Yoga Institute, not just for discovering the inner practice of yoga, meditation or that it's a nurturing place to do that deep inner dive, peeling back the layers of daily life in the big city in order to reveal our true nature. No matter what your background or belief system, the moment you step onto the grounds, you can feel the reverence and a hush falls upon your shoulders. You are in the heart of the Ocala National forest, embraced by towering trees, plenty of wild life including the hooting owls at night ... I encourage anyone who has a desire to know the Divine within, enter and explore. World class instructors. Delicious vegetarian and vegan food - you will not go hungry. Heart opening opportunity. Accommodations - now this can push your buttons but that is a good thing. Shared housing is like going back to college again but it's comfy and serves a purpose.

A powerful approach towards healing of all the trauma occurring in a peaceful setting. AYI is a great place to go for yoga training, yoga Nidra training and basic rejuvenation.
