The Expanding Light

The Expanding Light in Nevada City teaches Ananda yoga at its retreats and workshops, focusing on the meditation practices and yoga philosophy of Paramhansa Yogananda and his direct disciple, Ananda's founder, Swami Kriyananda. "Self-realization" is the key to Expanding Light's retreats, designed for experienced yogis and beginners alike. Personal and/or group retreats are available at this 700-acre site, surrounded by nature walking trails. Hike the nearby Yuba River, sit on Sunset Ridge and watch the sun rise (or set), get a massage at the Center for Radiant Health, and nourish your body and soul with great vegetarian meals.
