It was an honor and blessing to welcome Vishwaguruji and Swami Umapuri to our first Yoga in Daily Life retreat in the town of Mount Shasta, in northern California, on the weekend of March 23-25th.

Vishwaguruji arrived in Vancouver at the end of a long and cold Canadian winter, and the earth greeted him with the first blossoms of Spring.
