Yogananda's Nine-Day Rejuvenation Diet
January 11 to 19
Specifically designed by Parmahansa Yogananda to completely refresh the body and spirit, this disciplined approach to rejuvenation is considered by many to be more effective (and harder!) than fasting. With the balmy Hawaii weather and a group effort to ‘stay the course’, this is a great way to begin the year. Learn more here…
Happy Holidays!
