About Our Unique Retreat

Nestled in the serene surroundings of Pine Lake Retreat near Orlando, FL, this immersive experience will guide participants on a path towards exuberant health, wellness and self-discovery. A key component of this retreat is the integration of the spiritual dimensions of yoga in the tradition of Vinyasa Krama, as taught by the legendary Yogi Sri T.
