Some Testimonials from the COY 2010 Retreatants

“The Classics of Yoga Retreat is quite simply THE BEST opportunity to go deep into the philosophical underpinnings of a serious yoga practice that I have ever encountered in my 15+ years of studying yoga.” Rylan Peery “The yoga classes were awesome (Michael Johnson), the teachings by Lama Marut, as always, enlivening and transformative, meditations led by Cindy Lee were as well. The staff (all volunteers) were very helpful and attentive. We are still receiving recordings of the meditations and lectures.” |

“The Classics of Yoga retreat was one of the most intense and wonderful experiences of my life!” Dr Miles Neale. “It was wonderful being in the presence of such amazing teachers. I am still left contemplating the wisdom revealed from the ancient texts of the Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita, and many others. This retreat truly has changed my life.” |

“I’ve had a lot of fun in my life — skiing powderful mountains, rafting gnarly rivers, cycling in europe — but that all pales in comparison to sitting at Lama Marut & Cindy’s feet for two blessed weeks in Tahoe. I can’t tell you what an enormous gift it was to bask in their presence — in their unbounded & tireless love & compassion & knowledge & patience. I still feel their light & love every day.” Jaimie Epstein |

“The participants in the retreat were a diverse group of amazing people from all across the US, Canada and Europe. They brought a wide range of perspectives and experiences, but all seemed to have the common goal of being a better person and living a better life. The synergy that developed was inspiring. I met people who I will be friends with for the rest of this life. It was truly a family by the end of one week.” Ed Kingham |

“The Classics of Yoga Retreat was a wonderful opportunity to dive into the wisdom of the ancient scriptures of yoga and study their deepest meaning in a clear and profound way. Tahoe is beautiful! The assistants were all bright and caring, supplying our every need! And the staff of teachers are unparalleled in their knowledge of the subjects taught. I believe it was a life-altering experience for everyone there.” Cassandra DeLarios |
