And one more June workshop for you! Start your summer off with this soothing workshop with Sarah Platt-Finger. Marmas are pressure points that allow prana, the life force and power behind all physical and psychological processes, to flow through us.

Through correct knowledge and use of Marmas, our entire mental and physical energy can be shifted and redirected in a profound manner. Since the hands are an extension of the heart chakra, Marma therapy can help to elicit a sense of compassion, intimacy, and unconditional love. In this workshop, we will explore the methodology of self-marma, as developed by Yogiraj Alan Finger. The sequence will enable us to target specific marma points on our own bodies help to balance the fields of energy that govern us. Once the points have been released, we will open the fascia of the body through easeful asana including gentle stretching and restorative poses to soothe your mind and calm your nervous system. The session will end with a profound meditation to lead you to a state of love and healing. $40 EB / $50 Day of. Special Pricing for ISHTA Members + Acharya.

We have something for everyone this June!

🪷 SPOTS ARE FILLING QUICKLY! With space limited to just 15 participants, this retreat offers a rare chance for personal attention, energetic attunement, and direct access to teachings that cannot be shared in a regular weekly class. Alan and Sarah teach from a space of deep love, lineage, and lived experience—welcoming you into their home for this retreat, just as Alan experienced in his home growing up in South Africa. It is a return to the original way these teachings were passed down: intimate, personal, from “Guru to Shisha”.

🪷 Each day will begin with a morning asana and meditation practice, followed by nourishing Ayurvedic meals, lectures, and informal conversations by the pool. There will be time to absorb, rest, and integrate what you receive. Whether you are looking to deepen your spiritual practice, clear inner energetic stagnation, or reconnect with your highest Self, this retreat is a sacred doorway. Step through it—and discover the infinite within.
