Classes at Satchidananda Mission
We have really missed you all! Who could have imagined, that as things seemed to be turning around so that we could come back together for practice, the CDC guidelines discourage holding in person classes again? We have continued to maintain the intention of Satchidananda Mission with regular yoga practice, meditation, scripture studies and retreats. Rich and I both have taken this past year-and-a-half to deepen our own practices and to enrich the space here at Satchidananda Mission. It has been a time of deep reflection as I am sure it has been the same for many of you. Over the past few weeks we have felt safe to offer, by appointment, the following for those that have been fully vaccinated for Covid-19. For more information about these offerings please contact Manjula or Rich.
One-on-one private lessons:
Each private lesson is designed to accommodate the student’s individual needs. We begin with an initial consultation followed by an assessment leading to an individualized, skillfully designed personal practice. We welcome all ages, all body types and all levels of physical challenges or health issues. Integral Yoga is adaptable to all levels of practice.
We aim to:
Help support those in need of therapeutic application of yoga
Create a foundation for beginners
Strengthen the practice of even the seasoned practitioner
If you have stepped away from yoga and meditation due to life, stress, injury, or illness we can help get you back to it.
Contact us if you would like to learn:
Mindful stress reduction techniques
Practices for limited mobility
Joint health and preservation
Core strength
We would love to guide you through a full set of asanas, breathing practices, and relaxation in an appropriate, intelligent way. We’re available for in-person sessions for those fully vaccinated or via zoom if you would like to connect from the comfort of your own home.
Price:
$40.00 for initial consultation
Sunday evening meditation
We have continued to hold sacred space for seated silent meditation on Sunday evenings at 6:30pm in the Yurt. Full vaccination is required and masks are highly recommended. Outside seating and walking meditation is available.

Personal Retreats
During the pandemic there have been those that have enjoyed Satchidananda Mission for a personal yoga and meditation retreat. We continue to offer this opportunity and are happy to design retreat schedules for individuals or small groups according to your needs. We can assist in setting up a schedule, lead you in meditation, yoga classes, and satsang talks that we enjoy ourselves. We can offer a small cottage upon availability that is perfect for a couple or two close friends. We can be involved in your retreat as little or as much as you like or you can just come and do your own thing.

Depends upon the needs of the individual or group
