" Women Yoga & Self Mastery Training in Baja"

Namaskar!

"Peace can be reached through meditation on the knowledge which dreams give. Peace can also be reached through concentration upon that which is dearest to the heart."

After traveling through many countries back packing, hiking and sailing it is now good to BE grounded connecting with mother earth. Over the last 13 days I have been blessed with students arriving from outside Mexico to follow the 8 fold path of Patanjali, study, learn and practice yoga, meditation and other yoga and Ayurvedic principles here at Clarananda. An ocean front property that we own near Todos Santos, Baja in Mexico.

Here at Clarananda, I offer unique Women Yoga Teacher Training / Certification and Self Mastery programs a few times per year internationally recognized by Yoga Alliance. Personalized, unique, intimate and intense these programs run for 12.5 days with a max of 3 to 6 students per program. I am honoured and blessed to witness the dedication, committment and transformation of women that come from around the world to move forward to enhancing their spiritual yoga practice and next level of self Mastery.

Clarananda is a magical zen garden, possessing extraordinary or mystical natural beauty. We have set up a green living environment with solar energy (off the grid) organic garden and back to nature living. To be here in the desert with the magnificant sunsets, abundant cactus plants and many birds and other wildlife is a gift to behold. Life does hold many treasures.

Here are a few words from the women that experienced Clarananda.

"The yoga, pranayama and meditation practices are delightful, intense and life changing. A tremendously valuable experience. For those on a path to self discover or personal growth, you've come to the right place. Clarananda is truly a remarkable setting and the food is amazing." Tracy Ernst - Calgary, Alberta

"Clarananda is beautiful and being in nature is truly a special experience. The program has been challenging and rewarding. The intensity of learning and yoga was nicely balanced with personal growth time. I have been pleased with my own experience and have gained so much more knowledge of yoga and all it's related branches." Beatrice Winny - Ontario, Canada

We are abundant, we are love, we are grace, we are the ones we have been waiting for!

So be it - Om Shanti In deep peace - Valma

Arrived to my property near Todos Santos, Baja

"The Zen Garden"

Be present in the moment. Seek harmony. Bask in the beauty of nature.

"There is perhaps no better way to live these Zen concepts than to create a garden that reflects them. A Zen garden is a work of art that expreses traditional values: simplicity, stillness, natural beauty, asymmetry, and traquility. As you work on yours, the peace of the external environment spreads inwards to calm the heart and soul. The main requirements are time - and timelessness. A Zen paradox!"

Welcome to my desert Zen Garden

Belize to India to the Caribbean and after a few days in Canada I finally arrive to my beautiful ocean front Zen garden property near Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico.

Outdoor living with solar and well water. Here I am planting my organic veggie garden.

Here is my lovely yoga palapa. Such a peaceful place. This year we have a pair of young pigeons living in the rafters.

We have all that we require. The desert roses are blooming.

Meeting up with friends again and time spent in solitude is rejuvenating for the soul.

In a few days I leave to pick up another boat out of La Paz to sail the Sea of Cortez.

I will take to the hammack, read for a while and of course indulge in a Zen sunset!

In peace always - Om Shanti, Valma
