3 Day Transformative Yoga Healing/Meditation Retreat

August 15th , 16th , & 17th 2014

RETREAT: withdraw to a quiet or secluded place.

Join us for a 3 day stay at the lovely landscapes of the Eastern Townships at Babaji's Kriya Yoga Ashram in Quebec, Canada just 1 hour and 30 minutes from Montreal. Located on 80 acres, atop a mountain, with panoramic views of neighboring mountains & pristine forest land. It has a private lake, access to hundreds of acres of forest trails, & the peace of isolation.

The Retreat will be lead by Yogi Pgian (Peter Giannaris founder & owner of Kali Yuga Yoga center in Chomedy, Laval, Quebec). Yogi Pgian has been inspired by the Eastern Arts, Philosophy & Psychology ever since the young age of 8. From the Ages of 8- 20 Yogi Pgian practiced & studied Karate, Kung- Fu, Chi Kung & Tai Chi very ardently. At the age of 17-32 he was introduced into Bodybuilding & devotedly trained (all natural) to further understand the effects on the physical & mental. By the time he entered the Ages of 27 to his present age of 43 Yoga became a path he undoubtedly & intuitively knew was the way back home to the Light of Truth & Liberation from the societal conditionings, programs, beliefs & limitations of the ever indwelling naturalness of Spirit. Yogi Pgian received his TTC (Teachers Training Certification) in Kriya Hatha Yoga in 2003 and intuitively was prompted by the Divine to study Yogic Scriptures such as Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Brahma Sutras & Various Upanishads. He has also practiced & studied Kundalini Yoga under the guidance of a teacher from India & was initiated into Babaji’s Kriya Yoga in 2011 &  2012. Yogi Pgian highly honors the Spirit (breath) & regards it as “The True Master to our Self Mastery”, realizing the importance of educating the masses in proper relaxation & proper breathing methods. For it is in the Spirit that humanity can come to unite & return to the naturalness of “Being”, respectfully living harmoniously with one another, all of life & our fullest potential.

The following 3 Day Transformative intensives objective is to return one from the everyday set patterns of stimulus which draws one outwardly into STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ALIMENTS, HEALTH ISSUES, & away from the experience of the ever blissful, peaceful, calm nature of the pristine SELF.
