Programming For Professionals
Transform your experience of work. It sometimes seems we have separated our ‘work life’ from our ‘regular life’, so that meaningful time begins after work or on the weekends. But given we spend so much of our precious time at work, how can we bring more meaning, purpose and energy into our professional lives. In our online and in-person programs, designed especially for professionals, you will find your own meaning of harmony and sense of well-being.
The spiritual practices we offer will align you so that no matter what job you are doing from nursing clients, teaching children, or running a business, you can find fulfillment and peace.
Resilient Professionals: Nurturing Peace in a Fast-Paced World Retreat In-Person at the Ashram May 9-14
This retreat is especially for those balancing work, family, social and spiritual life. Its purpose is to give you space to slow down, stretch, relax and listen within. How can you navigate your way through the uncertainties of change? Where is your life or career taking you? What is your direction? Give yourself time to access your own wisdom, acknowledge where you are at, and become more conscious of your choices. The individual insights you gain can immediately apply in your life and career.
Join our dynamic team, teachers Swami Sukhananda and Alicia Pace (bios below). Their decades of experience in unfolding human potential and supporting individuals in their growth and healing will create a spacious, nourishing and uplifting retreat.

Teacher for Peace of Mind for Professionals and Resilient Professionals: Nurturing Peace in a Fast-Paced World
Swami Sukhananda (Dr Jayne Boys) was formerly an adviser to governments on sustainability, environmental and organizational issues. She first met Swami Radha in 1988 and was deeply moved by her experience. Sukhananda now lives and teaches yoga at Yasodhara Ashram and in Europe. She is a historian whose articles about Swami Radha’s work have appeared in British and North American yoga magazines. While enjoying the beauty of the Ashram, she is inspired by witnessing the progress participants make during their online sessions. “The transformative effects of the meditation practices and the reflective and discussion processes have adapted so effectively online. It is wonderful to have this opportunity to support professionals navigating the challenges of their daily lives.”
