After researching my options, I chose to visit Yasodhara Ashram, near Kootenay Bay, BC, participating in a retreat called ‘The Hidden Language of Hatha Yoga' as taught by Swami Sivananda Radha. I resonated with the esoteric nature of this yoga community. Our daily activities included in depth study of the kundalini system, expression through music and art, and so much writing, chanting, dream work, karma yoga. The pristine natural surroundings are the legacy of Swami Sivananda Radha, who was an original pioneer for western women teaching yoga. Swami Radha also taught the ‘Divine Light Invocation'that would become my first spiritual practice and an important step on my healing journey... Sandra's yoga trainings would help us all work with the subtle armoring that we hold on to. We also had a lot of fun, practicing yoga inversions, hanging ourselves like art work off the ropes on the studio walls. I adored our extended deep relaxation sessions, gazing at the night stars through the sky..
