Experience the flow of prana—where each inhalation unites your essence with the living pulse of the Earth.

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a reset. A remembering of what it feels like to move in rhythm with the Earth. To breathe in sync with the trees. To step beyond the noise of daily life and into something deeper—something alive.

Our Pranic Earth is where movement and stillness, sound and silence, breath and being all merge into one current—guiding you back to yourself, to nature’s wisdom, to the pulse of prana flowing through all things.

Held in the serene embrace of the Pocono Mountains, this retreat is an invitation to sync with nature’s rhythms and awaken your own. Through pranically-infused yoga, breathwork practicums, creative exploration, ceremony, and immersive nature experiences, you’ll bridge the space between grounded and expansive, present and free.

Expand your understanding through engaging educational and experiential sessions exploring yoga philosophy, the science of prana, and sustainable living. Learn how ancient wisdom and modern practices come together to support both personal and planetary well-being.

This weekend isn’t about escaping. It’s about remembering how to be fully here. It’s about realigning, reigniting, and returning—clearer, lighter, and more deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.

The Earth is calling. Are you listening?

What’s Waiting for You:
  • Pranic Awareness – Deepen your connection to life-force energy through yoga, meditation, and breathwork.
  • Transformative Rituals – Experience the potency of havan (sacred fire), circle work, and a cacao ceremony.
  • Educational Sessions – Explore yoga’s energetic principles, the science of breath, and sustainable living practices to integrate into daily life.
  • Music & Creative Exploration – Enjoy live music and participate in a collaborative art project using natural and upcycled materials.
  • Nature Immersion & Sustainability – Breathe with the forest, move with the planets, and embrace conscious living.
  • Community, Joy, & Play – Find your people. Move, laugh, create—step into a weekend of deep connection and wonder.

Come as you are. Leave recharged, realigned, and more deeply alive.
