Viveka: Illuminating Your Life

    

You are invited to an illuminating and rejuvenating week in personal retreat. This is an opportunity to step outside your daily routine and attend to what is present, waiting to be seen with the light of your awareness. It is an opportunity for reconnection and renewal – one of discovering a deeper essence of being that is a source of clarity, wisdom, creativity, abiding peace, and unbounded love that is within you, ever present.

The week is offered to serve your integrated well-being and embodied presence:

Yoga
Begin each day with a 90-minute practice of mindful, alignment-based Vinyasa & Hatha yoga. Whether you’re new to the practice or a seasoned practitioner, you will be guided in a process of deepening refinement and awareness, with emphasis on quality and integrity of engagement over “quantity.” With utmost regard for the body, you will cultivate a structurally sound foundation for your evolving practice and be guided with articulate instruction and intelligent sequencing. Tai offers a rare balance of strong, alignment-based asana work framed within the broader context of yoga and self-realization, and enjoys integrating pranayama, mantra, myth, and philosophical teachings into the practice.

Breathwork
You will experience two Breathwork Journeys during the retreat to unwind tension in the body and open the doors of awakened perception. This work arises from the Holotropic and Rebirthing modalities, and many have experienced this work to be life changing. One participant described it as a 20-years of therapy condensed into one experiential journey. As a facilitator, Tai offers steady and compassionate presence to support you in meeting what arises, and integrates shamanic healing work.

Meditation
Throughout the week, guided meditation will be offered in the Vipassana and Insight-based traditions. The practice supports increased clarity about the nature of the mind, and disentanglement from your identification with it. The result is often a heightened sense of inner peace, and capacity to engage life from a place of greater awareness, wisdom, alignment, equanimity, and sovereignty.

Free Time
Plenty of free time is integrated into the week for your rest and integration. Take a long walk on the beach, read on your private patio, soak up the sun by the pool, star gaze from the hot tub, or enjoy a daytime excursion to kayak, surf, ride horseback on the beach, or learn some new culinary skills with Prana del Mar’s fabulous chef.

“Tai’s gentle, wise words with the balance of her strengthening, powerful presence, created the space for me to heal and grow at the retreat. Her humility and genuine heart of compassion facilitated one of the most transformative weeks of my soul. Tai steered when I needed a nudge of direction (in yoga practice or in a conversation through her questions) and graciously allowed space for me to explore my own capacities, providing her supportive silent presence, when she sensed strength and wisdom in me, I had not yet discovered.” — Elizabeth K.

With deep roots in Yoga, Tantra, Zen Buddhism, Shamanism, and contemporary psychology & neuroscience, she draws on a wide toolkit to support increased awareness and freedom of body, mind, and spirit.

Tai began practicing yoga in 2003 and later received teaching certification while in residence at the Himalayan Institute, studying under the direction of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Dr. Rolf Sovik, Sheri Friedrichsen, and Sandra Anderson. She has studied extensively with Annie Carpenter in the SmartFlow yoga system, and has been strongly influenced by Tias Little, Donna Farhi, and Dr. Douglas Brooks. As a spiritual practitioner, her path is supported by the teachings and mentorship of Jeannie Zandi, Adyshanti, and Thomas Hubl.
