RASAYANA: INDIAN ALCHEMY
Rasayana is sanskrit for nourishment to our physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. It is an ancient art of
rejuvenation using grounding, rejuvenating and restorative
techniques and treatments to transmute stress, anxiety and
emotional tension to vitality, to release toxins and
impurities from the tissues and mind, and to reestablish
harmony among the cells.
Essentially, on a deep level we know we must at some point ll our cups back up. We know
on a cellular level that the electromagnetic input from too much computer, TV and phone time
depletes us. Prana, our very life force is drained daily and is restored when we sleep, if we reach
deep sleep. It is restored when we meditate and experience submersion in Nature. However,
living in cities, clustered in groups with frenetic lifestyles, we may lack that opportunity to be
quiet, sink our toes into the Earth and simply un plug.. This week, our intention is to step out of
our daily frenzy, un plug, and focus on the deep quiet within. Deep meditations will follow our
yoga sessions with opportunities to release, restore and rebalance. Authentic Ayurvedic body
treatments can enhance your overall experience and are available at additional costs.
Lets go get un plugged this winter!

Denise Kirpal intentions her life from
her heart. Blending a devotional styles of
hatha, kundalini and restorative yoga,
pranayama, mantra and
meditation, her classes
and retreats offer a fresh
and wisdom based
approach to
understanding who you

one of the most
challenging aspects of
awakening awareness,
and Denise shares from
an honest, humble and
authentic platform. Incorporating ancient
traditions including Vedic chanting,
Pranayama (breath attention and
practices), Vinyasa krama, Kundalini Yoga
and Meditation, Transformational Gong

Madonna College of
Ayurveda, she is Certied

now runs the Divine Light
Healing Center. She loves to
be in nature and with loved
ones, especially her two
adult children and friends.

I nd that when I go outside of
my comfort zone I have a chance
to grow and learn, so, I go there
often. I feel grateful, I feel blessed
and am reminded of how we are all in this
together. I am honored and excited to return to
Villa Ananda, where I experienced a profound
healing in 2010 with the Ayurvedic treatments
that inspired me to study and become an Ayurvedic
practitioner today.

Since our rst retreat in 2007 to Samasati in Costa Rica to Machu Picchu, Tulum, Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, Ahki in Costa Rica and now our second
year at Villa Ananda, truly magical awakenings happen on these retreats!
From Rasayana 2014 Retreat
Thank you so very much for this truly healing, rejuvenating and invigorating retreat. At the core of course was the yoga and your
teaching; but, everything else played a supporting role, The Villa, the staff, the food, the ocean,I know it takes a lot of planning and
effort, thought and care to make it all come together. Such a diverse group..and, yet I felt everyone truly beneted and enjoyed the retreat.
And, all this with such grace & ease. I think you may have some magical powers!
I would like to ditto what J. said. Denise, you did a fantastic job organizing a beautiful week. I say lets do it again, same time next
year.
You touched my heart, opened it up and inspired me so much this week. Thank you for creating this amazing gathering.
Everything suited us perfectly, we needed this week and you delivered as you promised. Thank you. See you next year.
