“A retreat with Satya and Alaya, whether a day, weekend, or weeklong, is a deep dive into self reflection, self care, healing and rejuvenating. Their retreats are a well balanced mix of teachings and practices, time as a group and time alone, structured time and free time, time for insight and time for exploration. They are skillful in managing difficult content and consistently provide a loving and supportive container for the group.”
– Sarah Collins Laffer, Retreat Participant
“Wonderful and nourishing weekend. Satya is a gifted, highly skilled teacher of embodiment and of living spiritual principles on the ground, in real life. I went away feeling relaxed, my body and mind opened and inspired. Highly recommended!”
