On Friday June 19th 2009,  we again gather together.  This time in the sun of Santa Barbara, California for the
second JosephYoga Retreat.  The sun that we will witness slowly setting each night across the waters of the
Pacific Ocean during our yoga, reminds me of a quote from spiritual leader Yehuda Ashlag, "We love rest and
hate motion so much that we will not move except to attain rest.  This is so because our Root is not itself a
moving one but a resting one."  What is really true is that we are dazzled by motion, but truly desire stillness.  
The speed of race cars will never be romanticized and find it's way into poetry like the stillness of a setting sun.  

In Los Angeles, we have been inundated with fast yoga and "power yogas" that have all forgotten the very
definition of yoga which is "the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind," -- the ending of movement.  You will
not find peace and restoration in movement and speed.  We are like the electron that is forever unstable,
creating the illusion of physical matter.  Yoga should help us to put the breaks on -- not speed us up.  We have
enough distractions as is.  Slowing down is our goal and it should never be a luxury.  Stillness however is not
easy to achieve, but through our strong and challenging practice of yoga this weekend, we can come closer to
this goal.    Stillness is our Root and inside us lie the beauty of sunrises, the regalness of mountains and the
peace we all yearn for.

Join Los Angeles' popular Yoga Teacher Joseph Van Arsdale, for a three-day and two-night ultimate yoga
weekend in the five star Bacara Resort in beautiful Santa Barbara California.  The weekend will feature a 10
class schedule consisting of Yoga Flow, Sunrise & Sunset Yoga, Forward Bends, Inversions, Advanced Yoga,
Arm Balances, Backbends, Meditation, Restoratives and Beginners classes.  Just as in our first retreat, we will
leave as yogic athletes, having a great deal of healing and restoration.  

This is a perfect summer get away and may be a once-in-a-lifetime event due to our special location.  The
Bacara Resort (www.bacararesort.com) itself has exceeded its guest's wildest vacation dreams since the
1990s.  The Bacara Resort turned a beach front hillside in Goleta into a sprawling Mediterranean style luxury
resort experience. The Bacara is comprised of a series of mini-villas — ranging from bungalows to three story
cottages. The village spills gracefully down the cliff side property, towards the sandy beach below, creating what
looks from afar like a small scale Santa Barbara.  Coupled with the yoga you have learned to expect from
Joseph, this retreat is a guaranteed extraordinary experience to de-stress, meditate, heal and have much
needed personal time.    It is a must for new students and advanced students.  It is truly a weekend you won't
forget.
