What is Deep Yoga?Ancient Wisdom for Modern TimesWe all possess a miraculous inner power to heal ourselves, experience who we truly are, manifest our greatest aspirations, and live as liberated beings in peace and harmony with the Divine. This is the essence of Deep Yoga.Deep Yoga is devoted to holding true to the ancient texts of Vedic wisdom and, through the sacred “sister sciences” of Yoga and Ayurveda, unfolding its profound relevance for our modern lives.Deep Yoga, a registered teaching school with the Yoga Alliance, is home-based at Ginseng Yoga Studio of San Diego (see Deep yoga/Ginseng link). We guide clients, students and teachers in private therapy sessions, classes, workshops, seminars and retreats designed to take the essence of Yoga “off our mats” and fully into our lives. Dedicated to empowering poor and at-risk kids, a portion of all proceeds from this retreat will go to support Chris’ exceptional charity.Outdoor Outreach links youth in major “at risk environments” and introduces them to enriching outdoor experiences. The program is long term to allow the youth to build their own sense of self-esteem and success, ensuring true growth and lifestyle opportunities. www.outdooroutreach.org; brad@ginsengsandiego.com; 619.338.YOGA
