The Art of Ananda

Niyama Yoga Retreats was founded in 2020 when Nicole Zornitzer realized that there was a need & untapped market for wellness & adventure retreats that took into account the traditional yogic precepts.  After working for other retreat companies as a lead teacher, Nicole quickly realized the need to incorporate meaningful intention and themed based programs.  In accordance with her background in Therapeutic Yoga, Sound Healing, & Ayurveda, and commitment to serving her community, the birth of Niyama Yoga Retreats “The Art of Ananda” occurred.

In yogic philosophy and Vedic texts, Ananda invites one to experience a sense of balance, well-being, ease, happiness, and joy in any given moment.  Niyama Yoga Retreats’ mission is to expose our clients to the brilliant experience of Ananda (bliss).  Ananda is something achievable for all people when led by an experienced, educated, & properly trained professional.

We were founded under the premise of honoring the 8 Limbed Path to Yoga while incorporating tangible methods to achieve contentment and bliss in highly pranic environments.  With the knowledge and understanding of traditional Yogic Philosophy & Ayurvedic medicine we are acutely aware of the need to expose ourselves to environments that foster evolution of the mind / body connection.
