Meditation & Yoga tour of Cambodia and Vietnam! Feb 12-27, 2009
Join me and yoga teacher extraordinaire, Dana Strong for a life-changing journey to Cambodia and Vietnam. Through the practices of meditation and yoga, the exoticism of the outward journey will be matched by a deep inner journey. We will travel to such sacred sites as Angkor Wat and the Perfume Pagoda, as well as to the center of our own hearts and minds.
Both Dana and I are students of Shambhala Buddhism and there will be an emphasis on serious fun. Serious. Fun.
The lovely and totally excellent Dana Strong
Dana has been teaching yoga nationally and internationally since 1998. She has studied extensively with Rodney Yee and in NY with Genny Kapuler and others. She was a senior teacher at Om Yoga Center. She has completed the Graduate Program of Buddhist Studies at the New York Shambala Center. Dana’s teaching draws on her current Iyengar studies as well as her practice of meditation. She combines the fluidity of breath with precision of alignment based on personal intuition and the experience of her students. Her classes are known to be challenging but playful. She teaches and practices yoga to bring ideas and action together, creating a relaxed body and a wakeful mind.
She is also a graduate student at Columbia University, where she is focusing on Buddhist-Christian dialogue.

Thanks for your information.

Hi Mike. Are you looking for a place for 5-day retreat in Vietnam, Cambodia, and/or New Zealand? Let me know and I’ll try to help for sure.
Happy travels! Susan
Hello Susan,
I bumped into the site, and I have sort of the same question as Mike.
This month I am doing a meditation course in Thailand, but after that I will go to Vietnam and I am looking for a place there to practice meditation as well. I will travel from all the way north to south.
Already thank you so much for you respond.
Cheers,
Fenja
Hi Fenja. I’m so sorry but I didn’t have luck finding a place to practice in Vietnam. It sounds crazy–there should be a bunch of places. Here are two places I found on Thich Nhat Hanh’s site:

Hi Suzan
I`m currently in Nha Trang, Vietnam. I`m teaching here. I`ve been very occupied with that, but now I feel I would like to join a yoga group/spend time/ help out /get inspired/, it`s not so clear / maybe you have connections or need some help with plans….
Thank you already :0)

Hi Susan,
I am going to Vietnam in April and have been trying to find a meditation/yoga retreat for about 5-7 days. I saw on other comments that you might have some leads on this? I’d really appreciate it if you could help me out. Thank you!
Pilar, sorry I don’t know of anything right now! But let me know if you find something–
Namaste.
I will be travelling SE-Asia from August to December this year. Are there any interesting retreats you would recommend or doing yourself?
Thanks,
Martin
