This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first group of Sannyasins that were initiated by Sri Swami Satchidananda into the Holy Order of Sannyas. We are very happy to see two beautiful souls come forward this year to embark on this path.

In February, Sister Vani, who lives at the Ashram, was initiated into pre-Sannyas. She currently serves as manager of the Integral Yoga Academy, as well as a Chidambaram pujari and kirtan leader.

Please send your prayers and your blessings that their paths may be filled with the discipline, devotion, and dedication to realize the Supreme Peace within and share the benefits with one and all.

https://www.yogaville.org/yoga-programs/11647/renew-your-spirit-a-transformative-vacation-in-lake-atitlan-guatemala/

Join us for a yoga vacation in Guatemala and watch your workday blues vanish into thin air. Discover the breathtaking vistas of cobalt blue Lake Atitlan uniquely surrounded by some of Guatemala’s largest volcanoes.

Start the new year by giving a boost to your spirit! We all need an occasional break to restore and refresh our body, mind and spirit - especially now with the world in such an unsettled state.

This will be a rare experience with our two senior swamis, Swami Asokananda and Swami Ramananda, along with Ram Wiener, guiding the week’s experience.

You will stay at a beautiful hotel and retreat center, Villa Sumaya, situated on the picturesque shore of Lake Atitlan. It has an uninterrupted vista, punctuated only by a skyline of three perfect volcanoes. Here, you can relax and experience an ideal place for people in search of rest, relaxation, good company, and ageless natural beauty. This beautiful retreat complex has very comfortable rooms and bungalows, lovely gardens, and a restaurant, and stunning locations to practice our meditation, hatha yoga, and spiritual study.

The restaurant, with a stunning view of the lake, offers a culinary conscious menu for vegetarians. A nutritious, eclectic blend of local and international cuisine, curated from Guatemala‘s cornucopia of fruits and vegetables, is available three times a day. Baked goods are produced daily.

Our daily schedule will include:
• Meditations
• Two Hatha Yoga classes per day
• Presentations from our featured senior presenters
• Plenty of free time to swim, sunbathe, go for walks, simply relax, and get to know your fellow travelers

We will also plan some trips outside of Lake Atitlan for those interested.
